Salem Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Salem residences heating with heating oil, selecting which of the 22 heating oil companies that serve Salem is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 3 “full-service” oil companies that serve Salem. Full service companies such as Palmer Gas Co Inc or B & H Oil Co offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and boiler 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 customer 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 families who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Examples of 2 Salem cash heating oil companies serving Salem include McLaughlin Oil and Rochette's Oil Service Inc.
