"My Teacher's Union Recommended Heat USA "
My review is a lot like the first one by denvecsr. 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".
