Massachusetts Heating Oil FAQ's

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.
