Athol Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company

For Athol families heating with fuel oil, picking which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Athol plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.

Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 2 “full-service” oil companies that serve Athol. Full service companies such as Bankowski Oil & Heating Inc or Chair City Oil Co offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s 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 referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. Examples of 2 Athol cash heating oil companies serving Athol include Ron's Fuel Oil and Oppure Oil LLC.
