Douglas Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Douglas residences heating with oil, selecting which of the 30 heating oil companies that serve Douglas plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 10 “full-service” oil companies that serve Douglas. Full service companies such as Al's Oil Service or RiteWay Heating Cooling & Plumbing Inc offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s heating 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for households who are on a budget. 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 the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. A few of the 2 Douglas cash heating oil companies serving Douglas include Red Star Oil Co and Superior Oil Co Inc.
