Chester Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Chester families heating with fuel oil, picking which of the 9 heating oil companies that serve Chester can drastically impact the cost of home heating.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 3 “full-service” oil companies that serve Chester. Full service companies such as Patriot Discount Oil or Skylands Energy Service offer clients 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 fuel 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the number two heating 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 Chester cash heating oil companies serving Chester include Hackettstown Corporation and Affordable Oil.
