Western Mass Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Western Mass residences heating with oil, selecting which of the 88 heating oil companies that serve Western Mass makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 39 “full-service” oil companies that serve Western Mass. Full service companies such as Richard's Fuel & Heating Inc or HOP Energy offer customers annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel 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: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients who are budget-conscious. 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. Some of the 2 Western Mass cash heating oil companies serving Western Mass include Patterson Fuel Co and Anytime Oil.
