New Jersey Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For New Jersey families heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 57 heating oil companies that serve New Jersey is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 7 “full-service” oil companies that serve New Jersey. Full service companies such as Lawes Home Comfort or Globe Petroleum offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two 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: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients 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. Some of the 2 New Jersey cash heating oil companies serving New Jersey include Jacquar Fuel Oil and Globe Discount.
