Chelmsford Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Chelmsford homes heating with oil, choosing which of the 66 heating oil companies that serve Chelmsford plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 41 “full-service” oil companies that serve Chelmsford. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and heating system 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 client 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 homeowners who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the 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 Chelmsford cash heating oil companies serving Chelmsford include Five M Heating Co and Dunn Oil Co Inc.
