Gunpowder Heating Oil Prices FAQs
What if oil prices change after I order, but before delivery?
Your price will lock, when you place order.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
Credit card orders: You don’t need to be home.
How much oil should I order?
95% of homes have 275 gallons oil tanks, and if you have around 1/4th tank, we recommend ordering 150 gallons to take advantage of bulk discounts, which typically kick in at 150 gallons.
What is a “cash/check deal” and why is it cheaper than a regular credit card deal?
Many oil companies offer a discount for cash or check payment because this avoids credit card fees. If you grab a cash/check deal, the provider contacts you prior to delivery to arrange payment.
