For Nelson households heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Nelson is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 3 “full-service” oil companies that serve Nelson. Full service companies such as Reds of Jaffrey or AW Peters Inc offer clients 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.
