Pennsylvania Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Pennsylvania homeowners heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 199 heating oil companies that serve Pennsylvania makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 33 “full-service” oil companies that serve Pennsylvania. Full service companies such as IT Landes or InterCounty Oil Services Inc offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for households who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Examples of 2 Pennsylvania cash heating oil companies serving Pennsylvania include Ace Fueling Llc and Blaze Oil Corporation.
