Durham Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Durham homes heating with oil, picking which of the 107 heating oil companies that serve Durham makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 68 “full-service” oil companies that serve Durham. Full service companies such as Madison Oil Company or Aaa Oil Company offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and boiler 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 family does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: also referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Examples of 2 Durham cash heating oil companies serving Durham include Martin Heating Oil LLC and Mccormick & Bonner Transport LLC.
