Industry Standards
Our customers are leading the charge.
If you’re a MESys customer, you’re already a leader in the heating industry.
Industry standards for bulk wood pellet delivery are in place to make the delivery process seamless. Having your system up to industry standards helps to ensure smooth, unattended pellet deliveries and avoid unnecessary delivery surcharges. Your system needs to have both:
- An outside shutoff switch
- An outdoor fill point
Our drivers will periodically do inspections. They will verify that the outside shutoff allows the heating system to restart, note the location of the switch, ensure the fill point is easily accessible (1-3 feet above ground), that the fill point is grounded and it’s location, ensure your heating system is cleaned and maintained with no obvious safety concerns or error messages, ensure the bin is free from overhead obstructions, make sure pellet fill lines are secure, and of course that access to the fill point is clear (i.e. driveways plowed and sanded with no obstructions).
Having your system up to industry standards is important – for us, and you.
You probably know already that you don’t handle your pellets with your fully automated system. And, you can easily schedule for delivery by contacting us or by using the Pellet Portal. Then, our pellets are delivered directly to your home, bagless, by a delivery truck the same way as oil or propane.
MESys schedules pellet deliveries as conveniently as possible for you, but there are ways to ease your burden. And, industry standards dictate that there are a couple of requirements for your wood pellet heating system. Ultimately, you need to ensure that you have both an outside shutoff switch and an outdoor fill point.
Have peace of mind with unattended deliveries.
Being compliant with industry standards involves two major pieces: the outside shutoff switch and the outdoor fill point. The outdoor fill point shall be grounded. For a quick check-up on your system, we will be doing brief inspections during your first delivery this season.
The easiest way to request a pellet delivery is through the Pellet Portal. Once requested, you will receive an email with details. And, if you’re signed up for our AutoPay program, it will only make your delivery process smoother. You won’t have to worry about a thing until the next time you need pellets.
We started the process with a goal to go green and save on fuel cost.
