Tips and Advice
With heating oil prices fluctuating throughout the year, having better visibility of your heating oil can help you plan ahead and manage costs more effectively. Understanding your usage can help you budget more effectively, avoid unexpected runouts, and plan ahead with confidence.
At BoilerJuice, we’re focused on helping customers stay in control, and that starts with better visibility of your heating oil levels.
Heating oil can be a significant household expense, especially during colder months. Without a clear idea of how quickly you're using it, you may run out unexpectedly, order too late and pay higher prices, or struggle to plan your monthly or seasonal budget. Better visibility of your oil levels can help you plan ahead, avoid unexpected runouts, and order at the right time.
Even today, many households rely on basic ways to keep an eye on their oil tank, but these approaches often make it harder to stay in control.
Making your way out to the tank and checking levels yourself isn't something most people do regularly, which means changes in usage can easily go unnoticed.
Many people still rely on looking directly into the tank, checking the filler tube level, or using a dip stick test, but these methods can be messy, inconvenient, and inaccurate.
Without precise measurements, it's easy to misjudge how much oil you have left - especially during periods of heavy use. Traditional plug-in wall sensors can also be unreliable, often giving delayed or inconsistent readings that make it harder to plan confidently.
Once you've checked your tank, there's no way of knowing what's happening day-to-day unless you keep going back to look again. That means sudden changes in usage or unexpected drops in fuel levels can easily go unnoticed until it becomes a problem.
To make managing your heating oil easier, we offer the BoilerJuice Smart Monitor - an advanced and reliable solution that allows you to track your oil levels through the BoilerJuice App. With accurate monitoring, usage tracking, and automatic low-level alerts, you can avoid unexpected run-outs and manage your heating oil with greater confidence and convenience.
How it works
The Smart Monitor uses wireless sensors installed on your oil tank to measure fuel levels accurately. These sensors send data directly to your connected device, giving you updates without any manual checking.
Our Smart Monitor does more than simply measure your oil levels. It helps you better understand your household's heating oil usage by tracking daily and seasonal consumption patterns over time.
By monitoring your usage trends, you can spot changes in consumption, improve efficiency, and plan your oil orders more effectively throughout the year.
The Smart Monitor also helps you stay protected against unexpected heating oil issues with automatic alerts sent directly to your connected device.
You can:
With real-time alerts and continuous monitoring, you can manage your heating oil with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Price Charts
Our Smart Monitor seamlessly connects to your account, giving you complete visibility of your heating oil levels through our simple, easy-to-use app. Easily monitor your tank levels, receive low-level alerts, and stay informed wherever you are.
For those who want even greater peace of mind, our Connected service takes things a step further. By linking your Smart Monitor directly to your BoilerJuice account, Connected automatically arranges your heating oil orders based on the readings from your Smart Monitor, helping keep your home topped up without the need to manually place orders yourself.
By monitoring your oil levels in the background, Connected helps reduce the risk of running low and removes the need to manually check your tank or constantly keep track of your usage. With automatic monitoring and smarter insights into your heating oil consumption, it’s an easier and more reliable way to stay in control of your heating oil throughout the year.
