Plainsboro Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For Plainsboro families heating with number two heating oil, selecting which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Plainsboro can drastically impact the cost of home heating.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 2 “full-service” oil companies that serve Plainsboro. Full service companies such as Skylands Energy Service or PFO Heating & Air Conditioning offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s 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 households who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Examples of 2 Plainsboro cash heating oil companies serving Plainsboro include Jacquar Fuel Oil and K W Rastall Inc.
