Cambridge Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Cambridge residences heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 176 heating oil companies that serve Cambridge is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 87 “full-service” oil companies that serve Cambridge. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic number two heating 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 homeowners 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. A few of the 2 Cambridge cash heating oil companies serving Cambridge include Hingham Oil and Ranco Enterpises.
