Lincoln Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Lincoln households heating with oil, choosing which of the 133 heating oil companies that serve Lincoln is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 76 “full-service” oil companies that serve Lincoln. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer households 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 family does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for homeowners who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Some of the 2 Lincoln cash heating oil companies serving Lincoln include Ranco Enterpises and Hughes Oil.
