Oil Heat Cares

Delaware Valley Chapter Project 6


Pictures tell a story and this one sure tells the viewer that this boiler was done.	Wayne Johnson works on the piping so that the new Burnham Boiler can be installed.	Technicians sure get themselves in some tight spots – as shown with Bern McCann and Wayne Jackson, Wilson Oil & Propane.

As we all know, proud elderly folks sometimes won’t ask for help. This was the case with Fred from Darby PA. Now 80-year old Fred lived in his house for 2 winters without heat. He and his friend tried to stay warm by using the oven and an electric space heater, running up a huge PECO bill. His friend had to move out due to deteriorating health.

Because he had received help with windows from county weatherization resources, he was excluded from a new boiler. The Mid County Senior Services Chore Connection reached out to one of our members, David O’Connell, Wilson Oil and Propane, and he dispatched a technician to the home. They found that prior to a new boiler installation, repair work needed to be done.

November 23rd, 2009, the new Burnham Boiler was installed and we can all sleep more comfortably knowing that another senior is safe and warm and in their own home.
