Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 211 “full-service” oil companies that serve Massachusetts. Full service companies such as Ruggiero Bros Inc or A Hohmann & Co Inc offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and boiler 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 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 exchange for lower prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low.
