Ayer Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Ayer families heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 34 heating oil companies that serve Ayer is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 20 “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 heating system repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s heating 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for customers 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. A few of the 2 Ayer cash heating oil companies serving Ayer include Fitchburg Economy Oil and Leominster Ice & Oil Company Inc.
