Athens Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Athens homes heating with number two heating oil, selecting which of the 16 heating oil companies that serve Athens 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 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 oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The client 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 homeowners who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. A few of the 2 Athens cash heating oil companies serving Athens include Collins & Son Inc and Lucky Petroleum Inc.
