Columbia Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For Columbia households heating with fuel oil, choosing which of the 11 heating oil companies that serve Columbia is an important decision.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for 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 fuel oil delivery and heating system 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 homeowners who are looking to save money. 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.
