Dorchester Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Dorchester homeowners heating with oil, picking which of the 166 heating oil companies that serve Dorchester 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 choose one of the 82 “full-service” oil companies that serve Dorchester. Full service companies such as Firemans Fuel or Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic fuel 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: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for families who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the number two heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Some of the 2 Dorchester cash heating oil companies serving Dorchester include Hingham Oil and Ranco Enterpises.
