Marlborough Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Marlborough households heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 67 heating oil companies that serve Marlborough plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who can afford a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 33 “full-service” oil companies that serve Marlborough. Full service companies such as Knight Fuel Co or Al's Oil Service offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic 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: 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 return for better prices, you monitor the 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 Marlborough cash heating oil companies serving Marlborough include Five M Heating Co and Leominster Ice & Oil Company Inc.
