Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For U.S. households heating with fuel oil, choosing which of the 2279 heating oil companies that serve U.S. can drastically impact the cost of home heating.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 850 “full-service” oil companies that serve U.S.. Full service companies such as Hoffman Fuel Company Of Danbury or Westmore Fuel Co Inc offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The customer does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for households who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. A few of the 2 U.S. cash heating oil companies serving U.S. include Aldin Associates LP and Alliance Energy LLC.
