Providing Peace of Mind with Fluctuating Prices

Providing Peace of Mind with Fluctuating Prices

As we look towards the winter months ahead, the rise in fuel prices is leaving many customers thinking about making the ‘right’ choice when it comes to their pricing program this year.

Designed with a fluctuating oil pricing market in mind, our Cap Price Program offers you and your family the best protection, whether oil prices go up or down over the next few months, all for less than a dollar a day!

The Cap Price Program offers both stability and security. With this program, you have peace of mind knowing that no matter what happens in the market, you’ll have:

  • Stability -- The price you pay per gallon is locked at a ceiling meaning it will never go up

  • Security -- If prices go down, your price goes down as well

To take advantage of this plan, a small enrollment fee allows us to secure gallons with our supplier; it’s peace of mind for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day!

For more information on our Cap Price Program as well as other price protection programs, give our Customer Care team a call at 203.227.5181 or click here.

Real Estate is BOOMING!

Real Estate is BOOMING!

We aren’t the first, nor will we be the last to say real estate is BOOMING in Connecticut! All over the area, homes are selling far above asking; bidding wars are everywhere. According to the CT Association of Realtors, this has been the busiest real estate market in 17 years.

Our industry, like many others, has seen an increase in business due to this buying frenzy and the influx of new homeowners around Fairfield County. Some days our call volume is intense: home improvement projects leading to equipment upgrades and transferring houses from the old owner’s account to the new happy homeowner.

As we head into heating season, we encourage you to meet your new neighbors, welcome them to the area, and don’t forget, introduce them to Gault! If you refer us to your family, friends, or neighbor, you’ll receive a $50 credit when they sign up as a new customer!*

Get To Know Your Home

GEHS Blog Image 92021 (1).png

Get to Know Your Home

If you’re one of the many that moved into a new home over the last year, whether a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, it is always important to get acquainted with the systems in your home. Here are some of the basics.:


Is my heating system a furnace or a boiler?

is my heating system....png

Well, boilers use hot water (think boiling water) to heat your home through radiant flooring or radiators. Furnaces, on the other hand, use warm air or ‘forced air’ that is blown through duct work and vents to heat the home. Then, there is hydro-air which is a boiler that converts hot water to warm air.

Do I need to know how to turn my heating system off?

Yes! In case of emergency… locate your Emergency Switch, main water shut-off valve, and electrical panel. The emergency switch is usually located as you enter the basement and should have a red switch plate. This switch shuts off the burner in your heating system, the component that houses the unit’s combustion. Watch our how-to video here!

What are the important components of my propane tank?

Make sure you locate your propane gauge and shut off valve under the top cover of your tank. The gauge is read as a percentage of volume you have in your tank. Remember, since propane is stored as a liquid under pressure, a tank reading of 80% is considered full to ensure the propane has room to expand as temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. Watch our how-to video here!

It’s my first time in an oil heated home, help!

We know an oil heated home can sometimes seem intimidating, but it’s really pretty easy. We deliver fuel from the exterior of your home through a fill pipe connected directly into your oil tank. To make it even easier, our computer system calculates when you need a delivery based on a weather metric (degree days) and the efficiency of your heating system.

How does my central AC work?

There are two main components of your central AC system. The outside condenser unit(s) takes heat from inside the home, transfers it through a refrigerant and deposits it outside, leaving the inside cool. The air handler(s), located inside the home, is what circulates the cool air through your home. The air handler also houses your air filter.

Storm Season Checklist

Storm Season Checklist

After every storm, we look back and update our emergency response plan based on best practices and what we’ve learned. And boy did we learn a lot after last August – no power, no cell service and no internet!

Here are a few tips we wanted to share in our new Storm Season Checklist.

Capture4.JPG
  • Prepare an emergency kit: include a lists of important contacts and documents

  • Purchase storm supplies: extra batteries, flashlights, and medications. If you have a standby generator serviced by Gault, purchase Synthetic 5W30 oil to have on hand.

  • Prepare your yard: clear hazardous/at risk landscaping, clean gutters, remove debris, secure outside items.

  • Refresh your generator procedures:

    • Portable: Never put inside your home, keep 20ft+ away from any livable spaces, have extra gas on hand.

    • Whole-Home: Read the propane tank gauge, monitor long run rates, maintain system operations. Visit the Gault Storm Center for additional guidance & resources.

  • Document: Take pictures of your home, yard and street pre- and post- storm to monitor damage and report losses to insurance.

For more valuable storm resources, FAQs, videos and checklists, visit the Gault Storm Center.

Don't Get Blown Away This Storm Season!

Don’t Get Blown Away This Storm Season!

A busy storm season can make for a frightening summer!

A little preparation now can save a lot of stress before, during and after a hurricane.


Before: Create a hurricane action plan to prepare your family, pets and home for a storm. Include spare batteries, extra medication, a list of important numbers, and related insurance paperwork in your emergency kit.

Capture1.JPG

Gault Tip!

Becoming familiar with your propane tank - know how to turn your tank off in an emergency and how to read the gauge in order to report your usage during a storm. Watch our How-To video on the Gault Storm Center.

During: Safety is a top priority - stay inside unless directed to evacuate, avoid contact with floodwaters inside or out, hunker down with flashlights, and keep pets indoors.

Capture2.JPG

Gault Tip!

Even if you have a whole home generator, unplugging small appliances and other electronics that won’t be used during the storm can help avoid damage from power surges.

After: Once it is safe to do so, inspect your home and yard for damage, immediately report any loose or down power lines and use caution when cleaning up areas impacted by the storm.

Capture3.JPG

Gault Tip!

Once your power has been restored, let us know via the Gault Storm Center so we can resume regular deliveries and services to your home.

Celebrating Essential Workers

Celebrating Essential Workers

It’s crazy to think we’ve been talking about COVID for almost 18 months now, but I’m really happy to see how those conversations have changed. In the past month, I’ve participated in two panels that reflect upon managing a business during these unprecedented times.

News12 celebrated essential workers in the special The Next Normal and Westport Means Business invited local businesses to share Stories from the Pandemic. Both of these events highlighted a variety of essential workers who bravely stepped up to continue serving customers and the businesses that had to quickly pivot to continue meeting the needs of customers and employees.

Every day I remain so impressed with our team – those who volunteered to enter homes to the Customer Care representatives who took the brunt of communicating new processes and procedures to keep everyone safe.

See more from these great events below and stay up to date on the latest happenings at Gault by following us on Instagram or Facebook @gaultenergy.

Happy Summer!

Connecticut's Energy Evolution

Connecticut's Energy Evolution

No one can deny the many regulatory and consumer changes we’ve seen after over 100 years in the energy sector. Our focus has always been on taking advantage of new technologies, fuels and methodologies in order to keep us at the forefront of our industry and thus provide the best service to our customers. Here are a few energy hot topics that are just as important for you as they are for us as a business:

Electrification in CT

States across New England, including Connecticut, have their eye on electrification as the solution to meeting federal greenhouse gas mandates in the coming years. They want to incentivize homeowners to replace their oil or gas heating systems with electric heat pumps in order to achieve the ultimate goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. While on the surface, this plan seems straightforward, however there are many reasons for homeowners to be wary:

1. Electric Heat Pumps:

While electric heat pumps have become fairly common as a supplemental heat source over the past decade, they become problematic and extremely inefficient when the temperatures drop below freezing – a frequent occurrence during a New England winter!

2. Electricity Generation:

Currently only 5% of CT’s electricity is generated by renewable energy sources. Increasing this percentage by any substantial amount (80% is the current target being discussed) would not only be extremely costly to ratepayers but risky. There is no guaranteed output from wind and solar. Places like Texas and Germany learned the hard way this winter when they experienced frozen turbines and snow-covered solar panels. It will be many years before electricity can make a valid claim to being truly renewable, causing this shift to be vastly premature.

3. Electric Grid:

It will be no surprise to CT residents that we have the highest average electricity retail price among the lower 48 states. And after most of us were left in the dark for over 8 days last August, there isn’t much faith in the condition of the grid. Putting all of our eggs in the electric basket could be costly and inconvenient for many years to come.

The Strength of BioHeat®

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

As an industry, we have been working for the past two decades to forge our own path to net-zero emissions. The fuel we deliver today is called BioHeat®, a blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil with biodiesel, a domestic, sustainable and renewable energy source. Currently, we deliver a 5 to 7% biodiesel blend to your homes. As an industry, we have committed to increasing that blend to 20% by 2023, 50% by 2030 and to have a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050!

To further this goal, a coalition of US energy fuel dealers and Midwest farmers have established Project Carbon Freedom to support the mission of advancing liquid biofuels as a solution to quickly, safely and affordably transition the country to a carbon-free way of life.

The economics of moving towards a 100% biodiesel blend have a long reach for many sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, service and transportation. Today, the biodiesel industry supports over 62,000 domestic jobs and billions in paid wages; as biodiesel consumption continues to ramp up, so will the economic benefits.

For consumers, the benefits are two-fold: a transition to higher biodiesel blends can occur with little to no impact on the consumer, and it will not only reduce their carbon footprint but higher levels of biodiesel have been proven to reduce service-related issues in heating equipment.

Connecting Through COVID

Connecting Through COVID

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

One of our company’s core values, Caring, applies not only to our customers but also internally with our team members. Building relationships and caring for each other is something we greatly emphasize.

Often we spend more time with our work family than our actual family!

So how have we stayed connected over the past year after having to cancel our annual summer picnic, bowling night and cooking classes? BINGO!

Our Vice President, Jim was our caller for a virtual family bingo night. In case you didn’t know, Jim is also known as our Chief Fun Officer!

We’ve sent our Gault Cares community service activities home with team members and their families decorating cards for nursing homes.

Our HR department has hand delivered sandwiches to technicians out in the field from local restaurants.

And this one is probably my favorite: team members have submitted videos to share stories about their peers who have demonstrated Caring in their day-to-day work.

In case you’re interested, we have a few pictures from our Bingo night on our Instagram @gaultenergy.

Social Media Stardom

Introducing Sam Gault, Social Media Star

Last month, our marketing team seemed determined to make me a social media star… And while I don’t think we quite pulled that off, I did have a pretty great interview with David Briggs as part of his Instagram interview series with Westport Magazine.

While we spent most of the interview talking about Westport, our history around town and hopes for the future, we closed on an extremely relevant topic: the evolution of our business as a result of COVID-19 and climate change.

The HVAC side of our business has seen all new levels of appreciation due to COVID-19. Beyond safely repairing, replacing and maintaining your equipment, our team increasingly fields questions on Indoor Air Quality products and how they can reduce the presence of coronavirus in the home.

In regards to climate change, it’s a hot topic and our industry has set big milestones to continue to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our fuel. We deliver Bioheat, a blend of ultra-low sulfur heating oil with biodiesel, a domestic and sustainable heating oil replacement. Currently, we deliver a 5 to 7% Bioheat blend to your homes; as an industry, our goal is to increase the blend to 20% by 2023, 50% by 2030 and to be carbon neutral by 2050!

The 30-minute interview was live-streamed from The Whelk, one of the fantastic restaurants located in our Saugatuck Center development. If you’re interested in watching it, you can find the video on Instagram @westportmagazine or hit play below.

When Ductless is the Answer

When Ductless is the Answer

GHS_HVAC_Larry_Ductless_3_6240.jpg

Is every nook and cranny of your home now active living space? Whether you’ve created a home office from an unused corner or moved family into a converted basement apartment, installing a ductless heating/cooling system might be the solution you never knew you needed.

Ductless systems can be used for air conditioning in the summer, heat in transition months and as supplemental heat through the winter. The heat pump technology moves air around your home, regulating temperatures and in some cases, even reducing your home energy bills with their efficiency. If you’re unfamiliar with this highly versatile technology, here are a few considerations:

Home additions/converted spaces might overload your current HVAC system

Adding a ductless unit to your HVAC portfolio will reduce strain on your current system. The unit is sized for the square footage it’s meant to cover inside your home without diverting air from other rooms.

Installing ductwork might be too costly or in some cases not possible in your home

If you live in a home without ductwork, it might be less expensive to add ductless units for cooling rather than a traditional air conditioning system. In fact, many older homes lack the space to install ductwork all together!

Your family battles over the thermostat and the best temperature for your home

Maybe you prefer a firm 65° year-round while your spouse is happiest at sauna-like temps? Either way, a ductless system creates independent zones by room/unit that will be more energy efficient than zoning in a traditional ducted system.


We know installing ductless heating and cooling is an investment but with all the time we’re spending at home, isn’t comfort something worth investing in?


For more information on Ductless Heating/Cooling Systems, please visit gaultenergy.com/ductless or call 203.227.5181 to schedule an appointment with one of our Comfort Specialists.

See ya later Freon

Is your AC unit a phased out R-22 Freon model?

GEHS IG_  2021 AC Promo v1.png

It’s now been a year since the EPA finished phasing out Freon/R-22 as a refrigerant in air conditioning units. While we saw many customers replace their units in 2020, we encourage those who haven’t to be proactive and start taking steps now for replacement.

Remember that while Freon is no longer in production, your R-22 unit can still be serviced. While some units might have the option to be retrofitted to utilize a different refrigerant, it’s important to evaluate the recurring costs of servicing older units compared to installing a new efficient model that will lower your energy costs.

This spring, save $500 on the purchase and installation of a new air conditioning system from us! For more information visit GaultEnergy.com/AC-Savings or call 203.227.5181 to schedule an appointment with one of our Comfort Specialists.

Home Comfort Survey Results

 

How have your home comfort needs changed?

Thank you to all our customers who participated in our Home Comfort Survey!

Whether the whole family has moved in to ride out coronavirus together or you’ve been working from home since March, did you know these changes to your home can significantly impact your home’s energy use?

In addition to better understanding our customer’s changing needs, we were also able to make adjustments to specific delivery schedules to better accommodate a customer’s unique situation.

Gault’s Everyday Heroes

As an essential business, we knew this winter would be tough but our team has risen to the challenge all while keeping our customers and each other healthy and safe. In honor of their tireless efforts, here’s a selection of just a few Gault Heroes!

“Just a few days ago, my furnace died. It was c-c-c-cold here on the water in Fairfield. I requested that Mike Acquino come make the call. Mike is just great. He is so knowledgeable and as pleasant as can be. He diagnosed the problem, gave me a quote and today, just one day after that, your guys came to install my new furnace. They got the job done, they wore masks, they took off their shoes, they were very nice to work with. Couldn’t ask for more.” Andy, Fairfield customer

“Just wanted to send a big thank you to your team for an emergency call out and follow-up that we had this past Saturday. We really appreciated the quick response on the phone, new COVID-19 protocol ensuring everyone’s safety and the prompt arrival of a technician. Technician, Matt Yost, was a particular superstar, phoning and arriving right away. His professionalism, clear explanation and general kindness went a long way to reassuring us in a situation that may not actually have been, but was alarming to us. We are very thankful to you all for such professionalism during such a stressful time!” Sheri, Westport customer

“Wanted to briefly highlight Harry’s professionalism on Friday when he worked on replacing my old unit/installing the new Trane AC system. He was there the longest given what he had to do, started around 9am and left late afternoon. He was professional, kind, answered all my questions and was an overall pleasant experience. The system works like a charm and I cannot express how happy I am to be able to cook and not melt in my kitchen. Place was cleaned up and spotless when they left.” Angelica, Weston customer

If you’ve had a great experience with a Gault Hero, we would love to hear about it!

Email info@gaultenergy.com and we’ll share it with the entire Gault team.

Goodbye 2020... Hello 2021!

A Note From Sam

I think we can all agree that we’re looking forward to the great things that will come in 2021!

download.jpg

Here are a few lessons we learned in 2020 that I’m holding onto this year:

Keep moving ahead:

Gault has been around a long time – since 1863. We’ve survived economic depressions and wars. We’ve enjoyed the highs of expanding the business and the growth of our family. And today, just like in the past, we continue to take one day at a time with the ultimate goal in mind – YOU FIRST.

Stay positive:

It would have been easy to focus on the sad and discouraging news on TV and in papers daily. Instead, I challenge you to look for what’s worth celebrating, what’s heartwarming and good for the soul - we can all use a little more light and levity in our lives in 2021.

Embrace change:

I can’t remember the last time our business had to be as flexible as it is today! We’re constantly adjusting our business practices for the safety and wellbeing of our employees and customers. With more people home, we’ve even had to expand some of our teams, practically unheard of lately!

If 2020 was a year where we had to roll with the punches, I hope 2021 will be a year of accomplishment.

Happy New Year,

Sam Gault

President

HOW HEALTHY IS THE AIR YOUR BREATHE?

HOW HEALTHY IS THE AIR YOU BREATHE?

GAU_EHS_AC_Lou_042820_533.jpg

2020 has been a test in keeping our homes and families safe, healthy and germ-free. Not only have cleaning products been flying off the shelves, but we’ve received a lot of inquiries about managing your Indoor Air Quality.

Here are some frequent questions our Comfort Specialists receive:

WHAT IS INDOOR AIR QUALITY?

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) looks at the quality of the air within and around your home related to pollutants and their corresponding health concerns like viruses, headaches, asthma, allergies, heart disease and cancer. Some common indoor pollutants can be from pesticides, radon, excess moisture and building materials.

WHY SHOULD I IMPROVE IT?

We’re all spending a lot more time indoors this year so let’s make it as healthy as possible! Improving your IAQ not only helps you combat health concerns like COVID-19, but it can also remove lingering smells inside your home, reduce allergy and respiratory related flare-ups, encourage better sleep and help lower your energy costs.

HOW CAN GAULT HELP MANAGE MY INDOOR AIR QUALITY?

Since COVID-19 hit, we’ve been providing our Cooling Protection Plan customers with an upgrade to their system’s HEPA air filters during our annual maintenance visit. These new filters are better quality with a higher MERV rating designed to help remove more particles from the air. If regularly replaced, HEPA filters can remove up to 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and other airborne particles inside your home.

WHICH APPROACH IS BEST FOR MY HOME?

Every home is different and one of our IAQ Specialists can help you build a plan to improve your home’s air quality.  Gault also offers a full range of Indoor Air Quality solutions for your home ranging in cost, implementation requirements and use.

5 REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR HEATING SYSTEM THIS SEASON

 

5 REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR HEATING SYSTEM THIS SEASON

EHS_HS_Dwayne_042820_208.jpg

1. Age

A study done by the National Association of Home Builders concluded that the average lifespan of a furnace is 15-20 years and a boiler is 13-21 years. If your unit is nearing or in those age ranges, it is time to call a Gault Comfort Specialist to have us do an analysis of your system.

2. Maintenance

Annual maintenance of your unit is critical in making sure that everything is working properly and safely. If your unit has not been properly maintained and requires frequent repairs, replacement will not only guarantee the reliability of the unit, it could also be more cost effective.

3. Cost

Regardless of your fuel type, replacing an old, inefficient system can save you up to 40% on the fuel you use every year.

4. Efficiency

New heating units have higher efficiency ratings. Heating systems are rated with AFUE percentages indicating how much fuel is used to heat a house—and how much is wasted. Minimum AFUE ratings for heating equipment installed today are as high as 90%, meaning only 10% of fuel is not used to heat the home.

5. $500 in savings from Gault!

Receive $300 off* the installation of a new heating system and a FREE ($200 value) one year protection plan with the purchase of a new heating system.

Call us today at 203.227.5181 or visit gaultenergy.com/heat2020 to schedule an in-home consultation with one of our Comfort Specialists and let us help you save this upcoming season.

*Offer one per household. Does not apply to previously quoted or sold heating systems.
