9 Signs You Should Not Ignore

With daytime temperatures soaring into the 80s in early May, you don’t need to wonder if it’s going to be a hot summer. But you may be wondering if your AC system is ready to handle another blazing-hot summer. Often, a professional tune-up and some minor repairs will ensure your system is ready for the season. One big question to ask yourself is how old is your AC. But there are other factors that can guide your decision between making repairs or going ahead with a replacement. Read on to learn more—and know that the pros at Bolkema are standing by to help with all your air conditioning needs.

Signs of Trouble

You won’t be able to miss some signs that your cooling system needs professional attention: Noise, including rattling, grinding and just louder operation means your equipment is working harder than it should. Other signals that your AC is having trouble can be more subtle. Here are 9 signs of pending problems you should never ignore:

• Increased humidity
• Excessive dripping
• Refrigerant leaking
• Thermostat problems
• Blowing hot air
• Poor airflow, uneven cooling
• Burning smells
• Moldy odors
• Too much dust

Repair or Replace?

A well-maintained system should provide at least 15 years of good service. The cost of a tune-up is usually worthwhile. It can prevent lots of small problems from turning into expensive repair jobs. But even with regular tune-ups, eventually age takes its toll. Repairs will get more frequent—and more expensive—once the warranty is expired.

If you do need a repair, we recommend the $5,000 rule: Multiply the age of your system by the cost of a repair. If it’s more than $5,000, you’re better off replacing your cooling equipment. So, for example, if you have a repair estimate of $1,200 for an 8-year-old system, you’d get $9,600—you’ll get better value from replacing your system.

The other thing to note with an older system is the type of refrigerant it uses. If your system that uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, you should definitely replace it. R-22 is hard to get—and very expensive.

Performance Factor

After age, the other important factor to consider is performance. Did your cooling system keep you comfortable last year, or did you experience frequent breakdowns? Did you see a big spike in your energy use—even though you had a tune-up? That can be a big red flag that your system isn’t operating as efficiently as it should be. (This is a great way to take advantage of any usage information your energy company provides: it can help you see when high bills are coming from increased rates or higher energy use. One thing you can control, the other you can’t.)

If you made changes to your home since your AC system was installed—such as converting an attic or basement into a usable space or enclosed a screen porch to make it a year-round space, those areas may not be cooled by your system. Our high-efficiency SuperPak systems are perfect for small-duct and no-duct installations and can address the problem without the need for an ugly window unit or a whole system replacement.

Time for an Update?

If the signs indicate it’s time to replace your cooling equipment, the good news is that a new system will run more efficiently and help you cut your cooling costs by as much as a third. We can help access your needs and talk to you about trouble spots, like those that never seem to cool off.

The best system in the world is only as good as the installation, and that’s why we never treat any job as routine. We know no two homes are alike, even if they look similar from the street. We’ll even show you why an ultra-high efficiency system might not be worth the extra cost for you, and we’ll help you navigate your options and find the best choice for your budget and your space.

If your system still has a few good years, it’s never too soon to schedule your AC system maintenance. Our technicians will perform a multi-point precision tune-up to ensure your equipment is running right. Annual maintenance is the key to getting the best performance out of your home’s cooling system.

Whatever your needs, the pros at Bolkema are here to make sure your cooling equipment is ready for the season. Contact us today.

We’ve Got Answers to All Your Questions

We may not see too many hurricanes in northern New Jersey and lower New York state, but we get our fair share of wind, rain, snow, and ice. And more extreme weather patterns lead to more frequent and extended power outages. Losing power for two or three hours is annoying, but an outage lasting much longer starts to be expensive, and even dangerous. It’s important to be prepared. One of the best ways to protect your home and property is with a backup or standby generator.

If you’re considering your options for a backup generator, we’re sure you have questions. Here’s everything you need to know about a piece of equipment that can keep your home and family safe during a power emergency.

What is a standby generator?

A standby or backup generator is propane-fueled power source that is directly wired to your home’s systems so that it comes on within seconds of a power failure to keep your lights on and your refrigerator, furnace and a/c running until the utilities get the lines back up. Propane generators are quiet, extremely efficient and clean-burning, with low emissions,

How long will a standby generator run?

It depends on the size of your generator—and the size of your propane tank.
Most homes have storage tanks that are 100 to 500 gallons. The average 5000-watt whole-house generator will run for one to two days on a 100-gallon tank. A 500-gallon tank would keep the same generator running for 7 to 10 days.

Bigger generators will run more appliances and equipment, but they will use more propane: Typically, 5,000-watt whole-house generators use about two gallons of propane per hour. The most powerful, 9000-watt generators use three gallons per hour.

What size do I need?

There are a wide variety of size options, from “essential power” models that will run key equipment such as your refrigerator, heat and lights, to true whole-house generators that can manage the demands of most extra-large homes, even during extended outages. The pros at Bolkema can work with you to determine the best size generator for your home and needs.

Is a standby generator expensive?

While portable generators are less expensive out of the box, they can cost you a lot more in the long run. Just keeping it full during an extended outage will add up quickly, not to mention potentially having to wait on long lines for more gasoline.

On the other hand, having a standby generator can help you save money even before the power goes out. Many insurance plans will offer discounts on your homeowner’s insurance plan if you install a standby generator. That’s because, like a security system, a generator helps protect your property. Speaking of security systems, a standby generator will keep yours operating during an outage, protecting your home if you are away.

Is a standby generator safe?

With a standby generator, there’s no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. There’s also no need to wrestle the unit out of the garage and get it set up and started, while messing with fuel, possibly in the dark or in treacherous conditions.

Not only is it safer to operate, because it comes on instantly, people who rely on medical equipment are protected.

Is a standby generator a good investment?

Peace of mind is priceless. But when you do the math, a standby generator usually comes on top when it comes to dealing with the expense (and hassle) of a power outage. By keeping even just your essential systems running, a standby generator can help you avoid the cost of replacing spoiled food, the cost of a hotel room—if you can find one, and if the outage is in winter, prevent pipes from bursting.

Another thing: According to Consumer Reports, a properly installed whole-house generator can increase the value of your home by as much as 5%. That’s a great return on your investment, even before you even need to use it.

The Bottom Line

Adding a backup propane generator is a power move when it comes to protecting your family and your home.

Bolkema’s expert team has the experience and training to install your generator correctly and connect the lines to your propane tank, so it powers up your home without damaging your home’s electronic equipment or appliances. (And we can provide you with safe and reliable propane delivery, too.) Contact us today for more information.

Should You Add One to Your Home This Season? Read to Find Out!

There’s a lot of awareness when it comes to outdoor air quality; after all, reducing smog and greenhouse gases is important for helping slow climate change. Air quality also affects asthma rates, particularly in urban areas. But what can you do about the about the air quality in your home?

With a big focus on the air we’re breathing, especially in enclosed spaces, more and more of our customers are asking about our indoor air quality solutions , like whole-house air purifiers.

How Air Purifiers Work

A whole-house air purifier is usually installed in the return duct of your furnace and works with your HVAC system to remove all types of air pollutants, from allergy-causing dust and dander to minute particles, including bacteria and viruses.

While your heating and cooling equipment already has filters, they are mainly designed to protect the equipment itself. They work on keeping some particulate matter out of your air—you likely notice more dust right around when it’s time to replace your furnace or AC filters.

Why Do You Need a Whole-house Air Purifier?

Did you know the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air? That’s due to a range of factors. Toxic products have become much more common in the home, from VOC-containing construction materials to chemicals contained in cleaning and personal care products and furniture items, your space is filled with potentially harmful fumes.

Add other indoor pollutants such as pet dander, dust mites, and mold, to the mix and you’ve got some air quality issues that might be cause enough for concern.

Compounding the problem is the fact that today’s homes are increasingly airtight. We are sealing them better to make them more energy efficient. However, a side effect is that whatever pollutants gather in your home tend to stay there.

A whole-house air filtration system can dramatically improve air quality in your home and make your house a healthier place to be.

Bolkema Fuels Can Help Address Air Quality Concerns

You probably filter the water coming from your taps—or drink bottled water. Why wouldn’t you also filter the air you breathe?

A whole-house air purification system can remove an extensive range of pollutants from the air, including mold and mildew, bacteria and viruses, pollen, pet dander, dust mites and more.

If anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, a whole house air filtration system can improve their quality of life and reduce symptoms drastically, if not 100%. These systems also work to remove odors and can complement kitchen fan/vent systems—they can also help improve efficiency.

We know keeping your family safe and comfortable are top priorities—and we can help! Our in-house technicians are expert at installing whole-house air purifier systems and whole house humidifiers to keep you comfortable and the air your breath healthier.

Comparing Natural Gas Heating to Heating Oil and Propane

When it comes to heating your home, natural gas is an increasingly common and popular option for a variety of reasons—it’s clean-burning, efficient and versatile. You can use it heat water and run a range of other equipment and appliances in and around your home. If you currently heat your home with electricity or heating oil, you might be considering different options. After all, how easy it is to make the switch to natural gas heating in the first place?

The answer is, as with many things, it depends. We’ll help sum this up below:

How Easy is it to Connect to a Natural Gas Pipeline?

One of the purported benefits of natural gas is that it’s delivered to your home via a pipeline, so you don’t have to worry about scheduling deliveries. But, connecting to that pipe can be costly, depending on how far you are from the service line.

You may be too far from service to get a hookup. In most cases, the gas utility will only pay to bringing the line to your address at the main street. You must pay for getting the pipe from the main line to your home. It also requires expensive excavation that can be destructive to both your yard and property, subjecting things like your walkways or gardens to installation trenches.

In addition to being expensive to connect to, there are other problems with natural gas pipelines. Old, undersized pipelines result in supply concerns when temperatures plunge, and demand goes up. Those pipes can only deliver so much gas at a time, and as recently as this Christmas, utilities not far from our area were calling for customers to conserve gas and electricity through only a few days of extreme cold!

Another problem? Aging pipelines can result in leaks that are hard identify and even more challenging to repair. This comes at the same time utilities and public utility commissions argue over who foots the bill. If it’s up to the utilities, that cost will typically get passed to customers.

Are There Any Potential Issues with Natural Gas Conversions?

Switching between propane and natural gas? Typically, only minor adjustments need to be made with your heating equipment. The two different types of gas work at different pressure levels, but the conversion is usually easy. The same is true for most other gas appliances or water heaters.

However, if you’re switching from electric or oil equipment, you’ll need to replace your boiler or furnace, and any other appliances you want to run off gas. This can be thousands of dollars in additional parts, labor, and appliances.

Understanding Supply & Demand

With heating oil, which is stored in a tank on your property, you don’t need to worry about aging infrastructure. Plus, when you work with a dependable, full-service dealer like Bolkema Fuels, you don’t have to worry about supply or the quality of your deliveries. With natural gas, you’re dealing with a utility: no competition, no choices.

What’s more, with our cold, damp winters, heating oil simply does a better job of heating your home. Heating oil has a higher BTU output per gallon, so it’s used up more slowly than gas; this could mean you will pay less to heat your house with heating oil, even if the dollar per cubic feet cost of natural gas—or price per gallon of propane—is less.

Ultra-low sulfur heating oil burns much more cleanly and particulate emissions have been reduced significantly from the already low levels of the past few decades. Further, oil-fired heating equipment is generally less expensive, and new heating oil systems burn fuel 99.9% cleanly, according to studies conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven Laboratory.

The Bottom Line: Heating Oil is a Great, Reliable Fuel Choice!

There’s a lot of talk about alternative fuels these days. But with our damp, coastal winters, you want to find a fuel you can count on to keep your home and family warm. That’s why smart homeowners in northern Bergen County rely on heating oil. It’s a safe and efficient way to warm your home because other fuels just don’t provide the same heating energy.

Bolkema Fuels has the experience and the supply to always ensure you have fuel when you need it. If you’re looking to switch providers, contact us today. We’d love to have you join our family.

Stay Cozy and Save Money Each Winter Season

We’ve got five tips to help you keep warm and comfortable in your home this winter—and those winters to come—all while keeping heating costs better under control.

1. Get a heating system tune-up. It’s never too late to schedule seasonal maintenance for your heating equipment! A tune-up ensures that your furnace or boiler is running smoothly, so you’ll use less fuel to keep your home warm. Our certified service technicians check for and fix problems that can decrease performance and efficiency, or could lead to breakdowns, no-heat emergencies, and expensive repairs.
2. Use your programable thermostat. Used correctly, a programmable thermostat can help you lower your heating costs by 10% or more. To maximize your savings, follow these two easy steps:
   • When you’re at home and awake, set the thermostat for 68°.
   • Lower the setting by 10° when you’re sleeping or out of the house.

   Smart thermostats make it even easier! They learn your heating and cooling habits and create a schedule that matches them. Some even connect with your home automation system like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

3. Turn down your water heater temperature. Most water heaters have a default setting of 140°. That’s not only dangerous, it’s also inefficient. Reducing the temperature setting to 120° will meet all your hot water needs and save as much as 10% in heating costs. When you consider that heating water—for bathing, dishwashing, laundry and more—accounts for close to 20% of your heating costs, you may want to talk to us about upgrading your water heater to a high-efficiency model that can help you save even more.
4. Eliminate drafts. Unless you live in a brand-new home, it’s likely that as much as a third of the air in your home escapes via drafts around windows and doors. That’s like throwing money out the window—or door. A weekend of DIY projects, like sealing up drafts with caulking, weatherstripping and expanding foam, can help save you 20% or more on heating costs.
5. Take advantage of solar power. No, not expensive solar panels. We’re talking about the free heat from the sun! Leaving curtains and blinds open during the day lets the sun passively warm your rooms. It can warm your rooms enough that you can lower your thermostat and use your boiler or furnace less. Closing curtains at night helps keep that heat in.

Are There Other Ways to Save?

Saving energy can help you use less fuel, so when temperatures really plummet—like they did in December—the bills may not sting as much. We also offer some services to help you keep your bills manageable.

For example, our EZ Pay Budget Plan spreads heating costs across 12 months, keeping heating bills predictable and eliminating the pain of bigger winter bills. Instead of several big bills over a few months, you’ll get predictable heating bills and pay one level amount every month, even if stretches of extra-cold whether cause you to burn moil oil. Plus, Budget Plan customers receive a 10-cent discount on every gallon.

We also offer a 10-cent per gallon discount when you pay your monthly bill within 10 days. For Budget Plan customers, that translates into a 20-cent per gallon discount!

Our Troubleshooting Checklist Can Save You Time and Money!

There’s nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night and thinking, “Gee, it’s cold in here!” …before you realize your heat isn’t working.

Or maybe your system just doesn’t seem to be keeping your rooms as warm as usual. In either case, when you furnace or boiler is on the fritz, Bolkema Fuels has got your back! We’re here for you and our technicians can get you up and running again quickly.

Troubleshoooting Tips Before Calling For Repair

Sometimes, there’s actually an easy fix that you can handle yourself, and that can help you avoid the expense of a service call! Try some of these common troubleshooting steps before you call us:

1. Check Your Thermostat
Make sure your thermostat is set to a temperature at least 5° above room temperature and set to “heat.” Is it the batteries? Try installing fresh ones just in case.

2. Check the System Switch
Did the switch for your heating system accidentally get turned off? This happens more often than you’d think. Don’t overthink it, just turn it back on.

3. Check Your Fuel Supply
If you haven’t checked your tank gauge in a while, there’s a good chance you’ve run out of fuel. This is especially true if it’s been very cold recently, or if you’ve been spending more time at home during the day. If you’re out, know that we’re on call 24/7 for emergency heating oil deliveries.

4. Check Fuses and Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers can easily trip. Check the breaker that your heating system is on and turn it on if it’s off.

5. Check the Air Filter
When the air filter on your furnace gets clogged, your system may shut down automatically to prevent further issues. Replace it and keep a note on your calendar to check it at least once a month.

6. Check the Boiler
If you have a steam boiler, check the water level gauge. It should be at least half-full. Call us if it isn’t. Have a hot water boiler? You can skip this step.

7. Reset the System
If none of the previous step’s work, push and hold the Reset button for 30 seconds. Only do this ONCE. Doing it more than once floods the combustion chamber with too much heating oil. That’s an expensive repair job on top of any other repairs you may need.

If none of these steps resolves the problem, call us and we’ll dispatch a technician to get you up and running as soon as possible.

Your Go-To for Diesel Delivery & Fleet Fueling in Northern New Jersey!

When your business depends on fuel to keep a fleet on the road, that fuel becomes more than just a line item in your budget. Sending drivers to gas stations for fill-ups is one option, but there are some advantages to fleet fueling that can make your business run better—and improve your bottom line.

Here’s how fleet fueling works—and all the ways it can benefit your business.

1. Save Time

With fleet fueling, Bolkema brings the fuel to you. We send a truck filled with the exact amount of fuel you need for easy, on-site fueling. Whether you need on- or off-road fueling services for trucking, construction, and delivery business needs, we deliver gas and diesel, as well as engine oils, lubricants, and supplies, too.

2. Improve Efficiency

When drivers don’t have to spend time filling up trucks at retail gas stations, they’re spending more time on the road, working for you. It also makes dispatch and route planning more efficient by eliminating detours or extra mileage to get fuel.

3. Reduce Fraud and Error

A drink or a snack added to gas purchases may not seem like much to your drivers, but those added costs can really add up. Drivers can also lose receipts or miscalculate the miles per gallon of their vehicle. Fleet fueling prevents those types or errors and fraud.

4. Save Mileage, Save Money

In addition to more efficient trips, you’ll see savings on mileage and miles-per-gallon with fleet fueling. When you consider the cost per mile to operate each of your fleet vehicles, the cost to send them just two or three miles out of the way to fuel up really adds up! Onsite delivery helps remove those costs.

5. No Need for Storage

With fleet fueling, we work with you to plan, schedule, and manage your fuel deliveries to meet your specific needs. Our friendly staff has fuel management expertise that takes the stress and guesswork out of commercial fuel deliveries. You don’t have to take on any of the risks or liability of on-site fuel storage.

6. Better Pricing

As a local, independent fuel company, we can’t do much to reverse the high taxes, refining costs, and demand driving up diesel prices. But we can offer wholesale pricing and bulk fuel discounts, meaning you can save money on the fuel you need to run your fleet.

Because you’re ordering fuel and not just filling up, you’ll also know exactly how much you’re going to be paying in advance. It also allows you to more accurately track your fuel usage to reduce waste. You’ll also have a detailed invoice instead of just gas station receipts.

Local New Jersey Businesses Count on Bolkema Fuels!

Want to know more about the advantages of fleet fueling? Ask any of the many commercial fleet operators in northern New Jersey and Rockland County, New York, who trust Bolkema for their fleet-fueling needs.

Bolkema understands the importance of a reliable source of quality gas and diesel—after all, we operate our own fleet of delivery and service trucks and need to keep them on the road to serve our customers. Contact us today and we’ll help you get started.

Here’s What You Can Expect to Pay for a New Boiler or Furnace

As the cold weather settles in and you’re using your heating system more and more, you may be noticing that it’s not working quite as well as it did even just a few seasons earlier. Maybe your rooms aren’t getting warm as quickly, or they don’t stay as warm throughout the evening hours. Maybe you’re using more fuel than you usually do, even though it hasn’t been very cold.

These all could be little signs that you should start thinking about replacing your home heating system. Admittedly, your first thought is probably, “Oh boy, how much does a heating system cost?” Well, the average cost of a new heating system will depend on a lot of factors, but in general it can range from $4,800 to $9,500 or higher for a full installation.

That’s a lot of money, but a new more efficient system can help you save money over the long term. And there are a lot of factors that can affect that bottom line price. Here’s what you need to know before getting started on a replacement:

Should I Install a Furnace or Boiler?

Generally, changing to a different type of system will cost more than keeping the same type of heating system:

• A furnace uses a system of ducts to blow heated air throughout your home.
• A boiler heats water to create steam to spread heat via baseboard radiators or flooring systems.

Updating whatever system you have to the most energy-efficient option you can afford is the smartest plan. As for cost, a boiler or furnace with standard efficiency will run around $2,200.

The Size of the Central Heating Unit Matters

Of course, the size of your boiler or furnace will impact the price, too. The bigger the house, the more BTUs you will need to heat it comfortably. An average home of between 1,600 and 4,000 square feet will need a system that generates about 100,000 Btus. Here’s a rough guide:

Installing a Top-Name Brand Heating System

When you’re investing in a big piece of your home’s infrastructure, looking for good value is important but remember that there’s something to the adage that you get what you pay for. If the cost of your heating system installation looks too good to be true, it probably is. A low-cost system is frequently made with low-quality parts put together by unskilled laborers who work for businesses that cut corners. With a cheap furnace or boiler, you’ll end up paying more in the long run, with increased heating costs or with future repairs. In most situations, it’s usually both.

If You Need a New Heating System…Call the Pros at Bolkema Fuels!

We sell and install equipment with strong reputations for quality and can help you choose a model that will suit your needs as well as your budget.

Everything You Should Know About This Popular Home Heating Fuel

If you’re new to northern New Jersey, or you’re purchasing your first home, you may be looking for information about the best way to heat it. The good part is, you have a few options—propane, natural gas, electricity, but the best option for the damp cold winters here in northern New Jersey and lower New York State is oil heat. Those other fuels just don’t provide the same heating energy!

What Is Heating Oil?

Heating oil is a refined form of crude oil that comes from deep wells both on land and offshore. Most heating oil today is called #2 heating oil, and all the heating oil in New York and New Jersey is ultra-low sulfur heating oil. Ultra-low sulfur heating oil is cleaner—and cleaner-burning—than “regular” heating oil of as recent as a decade ago.

What are the Benefits of Oil Heat?

What makes heating oil a better way to heat your home? Heating oil has a higher BTU output per gallon. That means it will warm up your home faster, to a greater degree, than other types of fuels.

Higher BTUs also means you’ll use your heating oil supply more slowly than, say, propane. That means that even if the per-gallon cost of propane is less than heating oil, you will pay less to heat your house with heating oil.

Heating systems and equipment that run on oil are generally less expensive to purchase and tend to last longer, too. A heating oil-fired furnace can last nearly 30 years, and a heating oil-fired boiler can last 25 years. New heating oil systems also now burn fuel 99.9% cleanly, according to studies conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven Laboratory. That means heating oil is many times better for the environment than it used to be.

Is Heating Oil a Safe Home Heating Fuel?

Most people are surprised to learn that heating oil doesn’t ignite at room temperature and is nonflammable in liquid form. Heating oil must be heated to 114° and vaporized via the combustion process to burn.

If it’s stored properly, in a well-maintained storage tank, heating oil is safe for the environment, too.

Heating Oil is a Cleaner, Green Choice for Home Heating

The oil used in homes today is dramatically different than the oil burned in the past. Thanks in part to the transition to ultra-low sulfur heating oil, particulate emissions have been reduced significantly from the already low levels of the past few decades.

So how much cleaner is it?

Traditional heating oil has a sulfur content of up to 4,000 parts per million. In contrast, ultra-low sulfur heating oil has a sulfur content of just 15 parts per million.
Because it’s so clean-burning, ultra-low sulfur heating oil improves the efficiency of your heating system—saving you money. It also helps your system last longer and reduces breakdowns.
