|---|---|---|---|
| 600 | $2,304 | $3,822 | +$1,518 |

A 275-gallon fill that cost $1,056 last September is $1,751 today. Most houses take four or five of those before spring.
If your oil company has sent you a pre-buy contract, a 1,000-gallon lock-in at this week's price is a $6,370 commitment before you have burned a drop.
If you heat with oil and the numbers above are your numbers, there is a way out that does not mean tearing up your house. Here is how it works.
Still heating with oil? Heating oil was $3.84 a gallon last September. Today it's over $6.

A Tempco team member will get back to you ASAP.
Why homeowners are switching
A right-sized heat pump can heat and cool your whole home for less than an aging furnace-and-AC setup, but only if it's sized and installed correctly. Here's how Tempco handles it.
A Tempco tech looks at your home, your current system, and your bills, then tells you whether a heat pump actually makes sense for you. No pressure, no scare tactics.
We size the heat pump to your home's real heat load, not to what's on the truck. Wrong-sized equipment is the #1 reason heat pumps disappoint.
You get a clear estimate before we start, with rebates and financing spelled out. The price you sign is the price you pay.
Straight pricing
Fair question, and here's a straight answer instead of "it depends." Where you land depends on your home and system, but here's the honest range.
$15,000–$20,000 installed. A high-efficiency heat pump sized to heat and cool your whole home. Ductless mini-split pricing can range anywhere from $5,000 for a single-zone to up to $30,000 for a 5-zone.
$20,000–$30,000. A complete heat pump system with all-new ductwork, done start to finish.
Whole house heat pump systems currently qualify for a $4,000 PSEG rebate. We'll tell you exactly what you qualify for, and you can spread the rest with 0% financing.
