Energy in general has become more expensive, and therefore being able to safe guard and monitor your consumption has become much more important. You may have seen that Smart Meters are now being installed throughout the country to enable us to monitor energy useage, well now this technology has become available to the heating oil customer.

The Smart Guard will tell you how much heating oil you have left, approximately how many days supply this is and a tool where you can alter the temperature to see how this will affect your consumption. This is proving to be extremely useful as recently we have all seen considerable variations in the weather over short periods of time. This has resulted in many customers running out, and then having difficulty securing a delivery due to high demand and road conditions. And when finally a delivery was made it was at a higher than expected price. Heating oil acts in very much the same way as many other products, the greater the demand often means the higher the price.

The Smart Guard enables you to make better informed buying decisions, answering questions such as how much am I using per day and how long will this last me. It enables you to plan your purchasing, avoiding peak times of demand and pricing.

Just as important is the alarm facility incorporated within the device. As mentioned heating oil has become an expensive commodity, and therefore more susceptible to theft. The Smart Guard is permanently monitoring your oil level. If it detects any unusual drop in level it will automatically send you a text and email if required, alerting you to the fact that either a theft is in process or you have a leak. In either scenario this alert means you can take action, even if you are not at home.

This can be useful in many ways, for instance if you often spend time away from your home or you seem to be home only when it is dark.

Another major benefit is that the Smart Guard enables others to help care for those who are elderly, infirm or just not able to check there fuel levels, ensuring those most vulnerable can be looked after simply and effectively.
