Chester Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Chester homes heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 9 heating oil companies that serve Chester plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick 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 number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The homeowner 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 families who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Some of the 2 Chester cash heating oil companies serving Chester include Hackettstown Corporation and Affordable Oil.
