Heat NY Inc

My Teacher's Union Recommended Heat USA



It all started when I was looking at my NYSUT Member Benefits website when I came across Heat USA. It sounded wonderful. It stated: This program uses group buying power to provide members with substantial discounts on heating oil. Participants also receive a free lifetime 24-hour service contract with carefully screened full-service local suppliers. First-year membership fee is $25, second year membership for NYSUT members is free. Free annual cleaning and tune-up along with automatic delivery are some of the benefits included. Where do I sign up? After my first oil delivery, I called Heat USA, because my bill seemed high. They told me I was saving well over .25 cents per gallon. Then my second delivery comes, I call again because my heating oil bills were never this high. Again Heat USA tells me, I'm saving money. I then ask Heat USA,” how do I know I'm saving money?” Answer was they are telling me so, they know Heat USA is here for me. What? You think I was born yesterday? I started calling around. I called at least a dozen other oil companies including the one Heat USA gave me. I was paying so much more then all of them. My union, UFT will be hearing from me very soon. NYSUT should stop immediately endorsing Heat USA. Hopefully with this review I can stop my fellow union members from making the mistake I made by joining Heat USA.

HeatingOil.com and Heat USA (heatusa.com) are the same company with different names and different 800 numbers. Same CEO, employees and address. They are nothing what they claim to be. HeatingOil.com and Heat USA represents itself as a Consumer Advocate Company. Supposedly servicing its paying member at Heat USA. HeatingOil.com is free, getting you the lowest price on fuel and heating equipment. Not true, don't believe it. Go see their website. Do they list oil prices you should be paying? No. Call their customer service. Ask them what you will be paying. They won't tell you. HeatingOil.com says, trust us to get you a lower price. Don't do it. You'll be paying so much more. I paid close to a $1.00 more per gallon for heating oil. HeatingOil.com says they'll save you hundreds of dollars on heating equipment. I paid close to $2,000.00 more as a member of Heat USA. So to all my fellow homeowners please do your homework, be your own consumer advocate and you will see why I say Stay Away from Heat USA and HeatingOil.com.

How many red flags have to go up before our government officials see there is something wrong why a company would change it's name over and over again. Something is wrong with our system. Even the BBB has all their names listed. Come on United States of America consumer affair departments do your jobs and go after these kinds of businesses. This is a big problem here in America when big business runs our government. Consumers Must Stand Up For Their Rights and Take Back Our Government. Because without us there would be no businesses.
