Wakefield Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Wakefield homes heating with oil, choosing which of the 144 heating oil companies that serve Wakefield 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 pick one of the 68 “full-service” oil companies that serve Wakefield. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer families annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic heating oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s 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: also referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for customers who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the 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.
