Durham Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Durham homeowners heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 107 heating oil companies that serve Durham 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 68 “full-service” oil companies that serve Durham. Full service companies such as Madison Oil Company or Aaa Oil Company offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic heating 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 fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. A few of the 2 Durham cash heating oil companies serving Durham include Martin Heating Oil LLC and Mccormick & Bonner Transport LLC.
