Arlington Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Arlington residences heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 165 heating oil companies that serve Arlington plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
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 82 “full-service” oil companies that serve Arlington. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The household 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 homeowners 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 either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Some of the 2 Arlington cash heating oil companies serving Arlington include Ranco Enterpises and Maria's Oil.
