New Jersey Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For New Jersey homes heating with number two heating oil, selecting which of the 54 heating oil companies that serve New Jersey makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 6 “full-service” oil companies that serve New Jersey. Full service companies such as Lawes Home Comfort or Globe Petroleum offer customers annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The family does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for families who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the 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 New Jersey cash heating oil companies serving New Jersey include Jacquar Fuel Oil and Globe Discount.
