Athens Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Athens households heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 16 heating oil companies that serve Athens can drastically impact the cost of home heating.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 9 “full-service” oil companies that serve Athens. Full service companies such as C A Albright & Sons LLC or Persico Oil Co Inc offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The customer 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 families who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower 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. A few of the 2 Athens cash heating oil companies serving Athens include Collins & Son Inc and Lucky Petroleum Inc.
