Wilmington Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Wilmington households heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 132 heating oil companies that serve Wilmington makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 63 “full-service” oil companies that serve Wilmington. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic 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. The homeowner does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for families who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower 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. A few of the 2 Wilmington cash heating oil companies serving Wilmington include Ranco Enterpises and Maria's Oil.
