History

• For three generations, Van Etten Oil Company has been providing quality fuels and service to our customers. In the late 1920s Richard Van Etten worked for the Texas Company (Texaco) as a salesman and bulk plant agent. Ten years later he was promoted to consignee of the Texas Companys plant located next to the Monticello N.Y. train depot. In 1944, Mr. Van Etten founded Van Etten Oil Company with an 800 gallon, 1938 Chevy tank truck to serve the Sullivan County area with quality motor fuels and lubricants.
• Richard Van Ettens son, Robert Van Etten, joined in 1954 and continued to expand the company. He started the oil burner service department, still located in the old rail-station, to further meet the needs of Van Etten Oil customers.  In 1971 Richars youngest son, Jan Van Etten, joined the company. Jan developed the VEO Express Lanes ExxonMobil convenience store chain, the first of its kind in Sullivan County. Jan Van Etten is the current President of Van Etten Oil Company.
• Today Van Etten Oil is closing in on 70 years of service. Jans son, Eli Van Etten, has followed in the family tradition and joined the business in 1998. Eli Van Etten is the Vice President of the company and an executive board member of the Hudson Valley Oil Heat Council. Eli has developed the VEO Energy Systems brand with the 2010 introduction of the companys propane gas services. Throughout the decades VEO has expanded while not losing sight of the satisfaction of serving our customers needs.

Premium Heating Oil by VForce

Do you think all heating oil is the same? Many oil dealers would love you to believe that. The truth is that many oil dealers deliver poor quality generic fuel. They wont make the investment to bring you quality fuels. Generic fuel will clog up your heating systems filters and contributes to poor performance of your boiler or furnace. Untreated generic fuel will gum up your burner, corrode your storage tank and rob you of the benefits that VForce premium quality fuels provide.  VForce fuel oil is exclusively delivered by VEO Energy Systems. The detergent additive that we blend into our oil supply at our company operated storage facility ensures that you are receiving the very highest quality fuel.  VForce heating oil will extend the life of your heating system, greatly reduce unexpected break downs, lower your annual consumption of oil and increase your heating systems efficiency.

VEO Energy Systems Automatic Fuel Delivery…Its free and easy!

Choosing automatic fuel delivery is a service that VEO Energy Systems has been reliably providing for decades. Automatic delivery creates true peace of mind for your family or business.  Watching your fuel gauge or monitoring your underground storage tank can be a hassle and if you forget to check, you may even run out of fuel. Running out of fuel is never convenient and beside calling for an emergency delivery, you also have to contend with delivery charges for after hour or off route deliveries. The fact that your heating system and plumbing may be susceptible to damage due to extreme temperatures is another concern.  There are two classifications of automatic delivery. The “Degree-Day Method” and “Period Delivery”.  The Degree Day Method is the most common way to ensure automatic delivery. Our computer system software accurately calculates your fuel usage and forecasts a delivery based on a mathematical calculation that accounts for temperature, days between deliveries and your specific usage rate. This system also accounts for hot water usage if your water is heated by oil or kerosene.  Period delivery is used when a customers heat and hot water demands are harder to calculate. Maybe you have frequent guests, children that are home from college or you operate a business that has more foot traffic during the holidays. There are many factors that may cause VEO Energy Systems to place an automatic delivery customer on a period delivery status. This method is simply a set amount of days between each delivery. For example, VEO Energy Systems will deliver to your house every twenty-one days during the heating season regardless of the outdoor temperature. The set days between deliveries will be adjusted to suit your individual needs and adjusted for the non heating months automatically.  Some people believe that an oil company will wait to deliver when fuel prices are high. This is a myth that would be a monumental task for an oil dealer to accomplish. First, an oil company has many different types of customers with various tank sizes and varying usage rates. Second, an oil company would only be able to control a delivery via price for one delivery. After that, the customer would need a delivery when they need a delivery regardless of the price. The same argument can be made for customers who choose to call for deliveries because they think they can control the price. You will only be able to control the price for one delivery. After that, you will need fuel when you need it! The truth of the matter is that no one can predict the daily fluctuations of the price of heating fuels, and trying to determine delivery schedules based on market spikes would not be cost effective.
