Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For U.S. residences heating with fuel oil, choosing which of the 2291 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 pick one of the 859 “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 number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic fuel 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 looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Some of the 2 U.S. cash heating oil companies serving U.S. include Aldin Associates LP Inc and Alliance Energy LLC.
