New York Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For New York homes heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 698 heating oil companies that serve New York makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 296 “full-service” oil companies that serve New York. Full service companies such as Sunshine Oil & Fuels Inc or Erichsen's Fuel Service Inc Dependable Energy Services offer clients 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 heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The homeowner 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 on a budget. 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.
