You’ll find diesel fuel at work in a variety of industrial and commercial contexts. Diesel fuel powers freight and delivery trucks, buses, boats, farm equipment, construction equipment, and military vehicles. Some cars and light trucks also use diesel fuel.
Generators can run on diesel fuel and be used for anything from powering a remote village to ensuring that facilities like hospitals, schools, and buildings with important resources to preserve or protect have a backup or emergency power supply when there’s an electrical outage.
Whatever you need diesel for—whether it’s to fuel delivery vans, construction vehicles, or farm equipment, Jennings Oil & Propane offers bulk fuel deliveries and fleet fueling that will keep your fleet on the road or on the job. We’re here for all your commercial fueling needs.
Diesel fuel is made from refined crude oil and biomass materials. It gets its name from the type of engine it’s used in.

If your household is like most, you’ve noticed an increase in the price of just about everything you buy on a regular basis. From gas to groceries, much of what keeps your Connecticut home running costs more today than it did a year or two ago. That means households everywhere are paying even closer attention to how much things cost and looking to economize wherever possible. The Christmas season can be a particularly challenging time financially as families spend more on travel, gifts, and meals.
If your Connecticut home is one of the many that uses propane, then you probably already know what a versatile fuel it is. But perhaps you’re not as up to date on how much propane costs and the various factors that influence the price of propane. So let’s take a closer look at the price of propane.
Typically speaking, the per gallon price of propane falls in the $3.00 to $5.00 range across America. However, which region or state you live in has a great deal to do with what you can expect to pay. In Connecticut, for example, the residential per gallon price for propane has fluctuated between $3.67 and $3.76 over the past few months.
Although the price of propane can fluctuate, you should know that propane remains one of the most cost-effective ways to heat your home and power your appliances. And propane cost price swings tend to be more moderate compared to those for heating oil, gasoline, and other fuels derived from a barrel of crude oil.
In addition to where you live, there are a number of other factors that affect the price of propane. Let’s take a closer look at some of them.
Generally speaking, here are some of the things that affect the per gallon price of propane at any given time:

Fall is here, and we have already felt some crisp and chilly temperatures in Connecticut. This is the season when you’ll start turning up the thermostat to get comfortable. As winter approaches and the temperatures continue trending down, your home’s consumption of heating oil is going to increase. Fortunately, Jennings Oil & Propane has a well-maintained fleet of trucks and onsite storage, so we can ensure that you always have enough fuel. So trust us whenever you need a heating oil delivery.
Given what an important role heating oil will play in your family’s safety and comfort during the upcoming months, let’s take a look at some heating oil basics and answer some frequently asked questions about heating oil.
Heating oil is a product of crude oil that has been put through a refining process called distillation. During the process of distillation, hydrocarbons are removed from the crude oil and become a substance that can be further purified and blended to make the heating oil that works in your furnace or boiler.
Heating oil is a safe option for heating your Connecticut home. Heating oil won’t explode. You can’t even ignite it with a lit match. Heating oil is only combustible when it’s been vaporized by an oil burner at a temperature of at least 140° Fahrenheit. Additionally, if there is a malfunction, safety devices within your furnace or boiler are designed to shut the unit off before carbon monoxide poisoning poses a risk.
Heating oil has been reformulated and is now greener and cleaner than it used to be. Today’s heating oil is better for the environment. Jennings Oil & Propane is proud to deliver BioHeat, a cleaner-burning fuel than the heating oil of old. BioHeat has dramatically lower sulfur levels and every gallon includes biofuel, a renewable blend of oil from materials like sunflowers, soybeans, and vegetables. BioHeat reduces emissions and when paired with high-efficiency heating equipment, it burns cleaner than natural gas.
BioHeat heating oil is significantly more energy efficient than conventional heating oil. Modern heating oil systems are also more efficient than their predecessors. They can have an efficiency rating as high as 95%. The more efficient your heating system is, the less fuel it needs to keep you and your family warm and comfortable. An increase in efficiency can save you as much as 30% on your fuel and energy costs. Today’s heating oil is also more efficient than other methods for heating your home. Heating oil burns up to 20% more efficiently than gas, and it’s 30% more efficient at home heating than electricity.
Today’s heating oil is good for your heating system. Because of the premium low-sulfur heating oil Jennings Oil & Propane delivers, your boiler or furnace will benefit. Your heating system will run more cleanly. That means your furnace or boiler will require fewer repairs and last longer. You’ll save money on repairs and delay the cost of a replacement.
Heating oil is a very good choice for your home. When it comes to warmth, safety, value, and efficiency, today’s oil heat really delivers.

Spring has sprung in Connecticut! As the temperatures warm-up, it’s a good time to make sure your AC will be able to keep you and your family cool no matter how hot it gets this summer.
The first thing you need to do is determine how old your AC system is. If it’s 15 years or older, it’s time to think about upgrading—even if you’re confident your AC system is still doing the job. Consider this: Older ACs can have a SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating as low as 6. Current models have a SEER rating of 15 or higher. Having an AC with a high SEER rating could save your money on your cooling bills in just one season. So, if your unit is on the older side, consider upgrading now to save money in the long run.
If you need to upgrade your central AC system, the sales and technical staff at Jennings Oil & Propane can help you choose the best central AC system for your family’s needs. They are knowledgeable about the equipment options available as well as any discounts you can take advantage of. The installation will be scheduled at your convenience. And we’ll remove your old unit!
Here are some things you should check and do before you run your AC for the first time:
Once you start using your AC, check for signs of a refrigerant leak. To do this, keep an eye out for poor cooling, ice on the evaporator coils, and fluid spots near your AC condenser.
The best thing to do before you turn your AC on is to schedule a maintenance visit. Regular maintenance will extend the life of your home’s cooling system. It could also save you up to 10% on your energy bills this summer. When you schedule a maintenance visit with Jennings Oil & Propane, one of our experts will test, assess, clean, and lubricate your central air conditioning system.
