Gloucester Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Gloucester homeowners heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 31 heating oil companies that serve Gloucester makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 11 “full-service” oil companies that serve Gloucester. Full service companies such as Absolute Oil or Scott Energy Co Inc offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic 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: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for households who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Some of the 2 Gloucester cash heating oil companies serving Gloucester include Maria's Oil and Stadium Oil Heat.
