Nelson Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Nelson households heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Nelson can drastically impact the cost of home heating.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford 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 customers 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 clients who are budget-conscious. 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. A few of the 2 Nelson cash heating oil companies serving Nelson include Patten Energy and Davis Oil Company.
