Question 1

How does The Heat Fleet heating oil delivery marketplace work?

Accepted Answer

We research the heating oil market in your county to find most reliable discount oil companies with the best prices, and invite them to join The Heat Fleet. They post deals their best deals to the marketplace. (We also provide a list of non-member oil companies, just in case you want to double-check to make sure our deals are the best!) When you place an order with Heat Fleet, we instantly transmit it to your selected provider’s dispatcher, who schedules delivery on or before your specified delivery date. After delivery, we’ll send you a confirmation e-mail!

Question 2

What if oil prices change after I order, but before delivery?

Accepted Answer

Your price is locked in when you place the order.

Question 3

How much oil should I order?

Accepted Answer

95% of homes have 275 gallon oil tanks, and if you have around ¼ tank, we recommend ordering 150 gallons to take advantage of our members’ bulk discounts, which typically kick in at 150 gallons.

Question 4

Do I need to be home for the delivery?

Accepted Answer

Credit card orders: You don’t need to be home.

Question 5

What is a “cash/check deal” and why is it cheaper than a regular credit card deal?

Accepted Answer

Many members offer a discount for cash or check payment because this avoids credit card fees. If you grab a cash/check deal, the provider contacts you prior to delivery to arrange payment.

Question 6

How do you calculate average heating oil prices for towns, price estimate ranges for non-member companies, and savings estimates?

Accepted Answer

We estimate these values based on a number of factors, including: prices that our users input for non-member companies, the wholesale oil prices that heating oil companies pay, and the price of heating oil futures on the US commodities exchanges. All estimated price, price ranges, and savings values are only directional estimates, and should only be relied on for informational purposes. Please call non-member oil companies directly for price information before making any purchase decisions.
