Rhode Island Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Rhode Island residences heating with oil, selecting which of the 51 heating oil companies that serve Rhode Island is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 14 “full-service” oil companies that serve Rhode Island. Full service companies such as Dudek Oil or Wildcat Oil Co offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s 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 looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank.
