East Boston Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For East Boston homes heating with heating oil, picking which of the 156 heating oil companies that serve East Boston makes a big difference.
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 74 “full-service” oil companies that serve East Boston. 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 fuel oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for families who are looking to save money. 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.
