Salem Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Salem homeowners heating with fuel oil, picking which of the 100 heating oil companies that serve Salem makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value 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 heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two 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: also referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for homeowners who are budget-conscious. 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 Salem cash heating oil companies serving Salem include Ranco Enterpises and Maria's Oil.
