Athens Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Athens families heating with 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 can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose 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 fuel oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s 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 households who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Some of the 2 Athens cash heating oil companies serving Athens include Collins & Son Inc and Lucky Petroleum Inc.
