Baltimore County Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For Baltimore homeowners heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 36 heating oil companies that serve Baltimore is an important decision.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 234 “full-service” oil companies that serve Baltimore. Full service companies such as JJ Adams Fuel Oil Co LLC or McComas Fuel Co offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and boiler 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 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 budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Some of the 2 Baltimore cash heating oil companies serving Baltimore include Alliance Fuel Company and Warthen Fuel Co Inc.
