Nelson Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For Nelson families heating with heating oil, picking which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Nelson can drastically impact the cost of home heating.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 3 “full-service” oil companies that serve Nelson. Full service companies such as Reds of Jaffrey or AW Peters Inc offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for customers who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Examples of 2 Nelson cash heating oil companies serving Nelson include Patten Energy and Davis Oil Company.
