Ayer Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Ayer homeowners heating with heating oil, choosing which of the 37 heating oil companies that serve Ayer makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 22 “full-service” oil companies that serve Ayer. Full service companies such as Knight Fuel Co or County Energy Products offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and HVAC 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 homeowner does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients 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 either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Some of the 2 Ayer cash heating oil companies serving Ayer include Fitchburg Economy Oil and Leominster Ice & Oil Company Inc.
