Arlington Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Arlington residences heating with heating oil, selecting which of the 165 heating oil companies that serve Arlington is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 82 “full-service” oil companies that serve Arlington. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and heating system 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: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for families who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower 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.
