A Note From Kip
You’ve probably seen the headlines. Conflict in the Middle East and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed crude oil prices sharply higher — and heating oil prices have followed.
We won’t pretend to know what comes next. Gerner Energy doesn’t speculate on the markets. We can’t tell you where prices will be in two months, let alone next winter, and anyone who says they can is guessing.
What we can do is help take the guesswork out of your heating bill.
Our Budget Plan spreads your estimated heating costs evenly across 12 months, so even when the market gets volatile, your monthly payment stays predictable. In a year like this, that kind of stability matters more than
— Kip Gerner, Owner, Gerner Energy
What this means for you:
Heating oil prices are directly tied to global crude markets. When overseas instability pushes crude higher, your delivery costs follow — sometimes quickly.
A Budget Plan locks in your monthly payment based on your historical usage — so whatever happens in the market, your number stays the same.
When you enroll in a Budget Plan, Automatic Delivery is included. Here’s what happens behind the scenes.
Based on your past deliveries, we know how much fuel your home uses and how fast your tank depletes through different seasons.
Our system checks the weather forecast for your area every day. Colder stretch incoming? We move your delivery up accordingly.
Once your tank is projected to hit around ¼ full (or ~25% for propane), we send a driver. No calls needed. No gauge-watching. Just a full tank when you need it.
Northern Baltimore County homeowners have trusted Gerner Energy for over 30 years.
“Can’t say enough about Gerner Energy. We had so many problems with a different heating oil delivery service. Gerner’s customer service folks are local, friendly and helpful, and they actually pick up the phone. They were able to get our almost empty tank filled the same day. Highly recommend!”
