Portland Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Portland Southern Maine homes heating with fuel oil, picking which of the 42 heating oil companies that serve Portland Southern Maine is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 8 “full-service” oil companies that serve Portland Southern Maine. Full service companies such as Arrow Oil Company or Cash Energy offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two 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: Often called “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for customers who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Examples of 2 Portland Southern Maine cash heating oil companies serving Portland Southern Maine include Lampron Energy and AJ's Discount Oil Company.
