Told you

Ordinary on Chapel for a great cocktail.

Haven’t had oil in a while, but there should be a bleed valve at the furnace on the oil line. You may want to open it and let the oil fill a small cup. If oil is flowing then it isn’t your problem. It could be the igniter.

When we were buying oil, I used to use Standard Oil although there were many other quality oil companies. We also used to lock in prices which could help or hurt you. Standard would estimate when I need another delivery and just show up and fill it up.

Once, I ran dry. Guy showed up at like 11pm on a weekend. Poured in some oil to get me running for a day or two and made sure everything started up. Since we were a customer, the service was free and we paid standard rate for the oil and then the next fill up. He said that there is an on call technician with the truck at their house 24 hours a day.

Another time, my burner went and they came, replaced it and the fee was very reasonable.

You pay a little more but you get a lot if you can swing it imho.

Crown street is great. You have Geronimo which is a tequila bar that has good energy at night, Via across the street, and BAR right next to it. BAR is the best for dancing club vibes. And pizza fresh out of the brick oven. Around the corner is Pacifico. It’s my favorite area for a late night out drinking, since everything is so close and it feels relatively safe.

With in walking distance of where?

Just stay on crown and the intersecting streets down town you’ll be fine. Its a small city so if you have to uber anywhere it won’t be much.

www.Cashheatingoil.com or Purple Fuels typically have the lowest prices. Discount on cash heating oil for paying with cash or check

Glad you got it fixed, I’m out and waiting on affording to get another 100 gallons to get me through a month not with some warm days coming up, should be ok.

I mean, I’ve traveled everywhere and had some of the best art and food experiences in NHV. I think some of it may be due to the accessibility. Especially for their core readership. Also, good chance a lot of NY’ers discovered it due to Covid, and many write for the Times.

One way to look at it, many cities and places on this list have been overlooked and aren’t typical choices. So it doesn’t seem THAT out of place. Good lists uncover hidden gems that wouldn’t normally be found. NHV (and CT in general) are great examples of places with hidden gems that are great to discover.

Another way to look at it: many popular tourist destinations weren’t always popular. Some were even in disrepair and economic ruin. As places get discovered, momentum of interest makes them better places to visit as investments are made. There is great momentum for New Haven to become one of the best small cities to visit in the US.

But New Haven is a nice little city, no doubts!

My doubts come from the fact, that in the entire world (but even just USA +EU) I find hard to think New Haven has the right to be in the best 50 places to travel in 2023.

Sounds like you ran low on oil and drew in some air. If that happens or if you run her dry you need to bleed the system....now you know

I adore New Haven and all that is offered and while I agree it deserves its spot, seaside I agree is quite misleading. Harborside, although not nearly as serene sounding for readers, sums up New Haven’s costal amenities quite well.

Believe me I’ve tried that method too! Haha

Glad to hear it worked out.

A small wrench (maybe 10mm) and a shallow bowl is all you need to bleed the line after adding diesel. Put at least 5 gallons into your tank, and im sure you can find dozens of tutorials on YouTube. Bleeding and restarting takes less than a minute.

Thank you! Turned out to be an air bubble in the oil line from the tank to the burner. The HVAC tech was able to get it out, thank goodness.

We did check the oil level in the tank, and there was oil in there. You're right, tapping was ineffective. Seemed like a fair idea, though!

I’m guessing you aren’t actually out of oil if the gauge is showing 1/4 and bouncing back to 1/4 easily. Tapping on the tank isn’t really going to prove effective.

My guess is either some sludge got sucked in and is blocking the line or there is another issue with the burner itself. Hopefully the tech can solve that…

If you are actually out as others have mentioned just use diesel in a pinch, pour it in to the same pipe on the outside where your oil deliveries go in. However you will need to bleed the system and reset the burner, it’s not as simple as adding oil then it will turn on again…

Probably should’ve mentioned the New Haven area has great shoreline areas. New Haven’s are limited. City Point, Lighthouse Park, etc are nice but the region has some real gems. From the Audubon Center in Milford all the way to Hammonasset for New Haven County.

Or it’s just a nice little city. Both things can be true.

It’s a lot better than it was 10 or 20 years ago.

Wow! Yale New Haven Hospital is a top notch teaching hospital. As far as your description of the NHPD, well for those folks that are breaking the law, I wouldn’t know how they are treated. For us law abiding citizens, the police are present, courteous, and friendly. Your absurd claim that New Haven is the sixth most dangerous city in the country, I disagree. I’d like to know where you are getting that statistic from, I think this city is doing a better than fair job in dealing with the social issues of today. As far as Yale University is concerned. Yale is a integral part of the city. The number of people employed by both Yale and the Yale New Haven Hospital ( yes, they are two separate entities), make New Haven and many of the surrounding communities a solid place of employment to prosper and raise their families. I find it sad that a individual has grown to have such disdain for a small city and chooses to express such negativity in a social media platform. I’m confident that far more people would agree with my viewpoints, than those of WetPanteas. We live in this wonderful country where each and every person is free to express their thoughts. Semper Fi

Not to mention some of the worst litter and local noise/air pollution from all the generators!

Other cities with big food truck scenes have put up power hookups and larger trash receptacles. We could do better for sure.

Tacos are top notch though lol

This is great info to have. Thanks.

We're planning a move to CT.

Based on that link and a couple others, it says the average 1650 sqft home will use 7 gals of oil per day. Was looking it up and found average costs (2021) was approx $3.00 per gal.

So that's roughly $610 per month. And if the house is bigger, say closer to 3000 sqft, it'd be almost twice that ($1220) per month. Is that accurate?

I know there are variables (e.g., outside temps, comfort levels, etc). But trying to estimate a budget.

Thanks

Heating contractor here. Use diesel. Probably going to need a new filter and pump screen since you prob sucked in sludge. Hopefully the line didn’t clog. If you ever need anything pm me. I own a plumbing, Heating, and cooling business here in west haven

Bam!
