Essex Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Essex residences heating with heating oil, selecting which of the 46 heating oil companies that serve Essex 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 select one of the 17 “full-service” oil companies that serve Essex. Full service companies such as Absolute Oil or Scott Energy Co Inc offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The client 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 on a budget. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. A few of the 2 Essex cash heating oil companies serving Essex include Maria's Oil and North Shore Heating Supply Co.
