Somerville Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Somerville households heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 166 heating oil companies that serve Somerville is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 82 “full-service” oil companies that serve Somerville. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer customers annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and HVAC 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 families who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Some of the 2 Somerville cash heating oil companies serving Somerville include Hingham Oil and Ranco Enterpises.
