Essex Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Essex families heating with fuel oil, choosing which of the 45 heating oil companies that serve Essex makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 17 “full-service” oil companies that serve Essex. Full service companies such as Absolute Oil or Scott Energy Co Inc offer customers annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and boiler 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 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 customers who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Examples of 2 Essex cash heating oil companies serving Essex include Maria's Oil and North Shore Heating Supply Co.
