Vermont Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Vermont homeowners heating with heating oil, selecting which of the 41 heating oil companies that serve Vermont plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 4 “full-service” oil companies that serve Vermont. Full service companies such as or offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The household does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for families who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Examples of 2 Vermont cash heating oil companies serving Vermont include BART Energy Llc and Jam Fuel Llc.
