Gloucester Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Gloucester homeowners heating with oil, selecting which of the 31 heating oil companies that serve Gloucester plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want 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 clients 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 fuel 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 clients who are budget-conscious. 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. Examples of 2 Gloucester cash heating oil companies serving Gloucester include Maria's Oil and Stadium Oil Heat.
