Columbia Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Columbia households heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 11 heating oil companies that serve Columbia makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 4 “full-service” oil companies that serve Columbia. Full service companies such as Aero Energy or Reitz Oil Company offer customers annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel 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 heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. A few of the 2 Columbia cash heating oil companies serving Columbia include Jerome H Rhoads Inc and Manor Fuels.
