Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For U.S. homes heating with heating oil, picking which of the 2291 heating oil companies that serve U.S. can drastically impact the cost of home heating.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 860 “full-service” oil companies that serve U.S.. Full service companies such as Hoffman Fuel Company Of Danbury or Westmore Fuel Co Inc offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The homeowner does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.

Discount Oil Companies: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for households who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. A few of the 2 U.S. cash heating oil companies serving U.S. include Aldin Associates LP and Alliance Energy LLC.

Short Term Trends

U.S.’s overall fuel oil consumption varies annually primarily depending on how cold each winter is. As the temperature outside gets more chilly, homes’ furnaces need to burn additional fuel oil to keep the house warm inside. Last winter, the average outside temperature in U.S. was 29.6°F, which was 0.4°F warmer than the prior winter's average outside temperature.
