Essex Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For Essex households heating with heating oil, picking which of the 25 heating oil companies that serve Essex is an important decision.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 6 “full-service” oil companies that serve Essex. Full service companies such as JJ Adams Fuel Oil Co LLC or McComas Fuel Co offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The household 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 budget-conscious. 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 Essex cash heating oil companies serving Essex include H F Horney Inc and Alliance Fuel Company.
