Chelsea Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Chelsea households heating with heating oil, choosing which of the 153 heating oil companies that serve Chelsea 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 75 “full-service” oil companies that serve Chelsea. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer families 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 heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The client 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 homeowners who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Some of the 2 Chelsea cash heating oil companies serving Chelsea include Hingham Oil and Ranco Enterpises.
