Wakefield Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Wakefield families heating with number two heating oil, selecting which of the 144 heating oil companies that serve Wakefield is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who value a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 68 “full-service” oil companies that serve Wakefield. 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 fuel oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The customer 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 customers who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the fuel 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 Wakefield cash heating oil companies serving Wakefield include Ranco Enterpises and Maria's Oil.
