Salem Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Salem homes heating with fuel oil, choosing which of the 100 heating oil companies that serve Salem is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 51 “full-service” oil companies that serve Salem. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The household does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for customers who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Some of the 2 Salem cash heating oil companies serving Salem include Ranco Enterpises and Maria's Oil.
