Buffalo Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Buffalo families heating with number two heating oil, choosing which of the 7 heating oil companies that serve Buffalo plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
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 households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic fuel 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 looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low.
