Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For U.S. homes heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 2279 heating oil companies that serve U.S. plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose 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 homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The client 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 homeowners who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Some of the 2 U.S. cash heating oil companies serving U.S. include Aldin Associates LP and Alliance Energy LLC.

Heating Oil Prices FAQs
What if oil prices change after I order, but before delivery?
Your price will lock, when you place order.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
Credit card orders: You don’t need to be home.
How much oil should I order?
95% of homes have 275 gallons oil tanks, and if you have around 1/4th tank, we recommend ordering 150 gallons to take advantage of bulk discounts, which typically kick in at 150 gallons.
What is a “cash/check deal” and why is it cheaper than a regular credit card deal?
Many oil companies offer a discount for cash or check payment because this avoids credit card fees. If you grab a cash/check deal, the provider contacts you prior to delivery to arrange payment.
