Buffalo Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Buffalo homeowners heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Buffalo makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 3 “full-service” oil companies that serve Buffalo. Full service companies such as Pautler Oil Service Inc or Drum Oil Inc offer customers annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and HVAC repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The household 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 the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Examples of 2 Buffalo cash heating oil companies serving Buffalo include Olear's Inc and Noco Energy Corp.
