Maine Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Maine households heating with fuel oil, selecting which of the 132 heating oil companies that serve Maine can drastically impact the cost of home heating.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 19 “full-service” oil companies that serve Maine. Full service companies such as Alfred Oil or MA Haskell Fuel Company LLC offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and furnace repair. With an automatic oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The family 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 households who are on a budget. 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. Some of the 2 Maine cash heating oil companies serving Maine include EMERY MILLS ENERGY INC and Integrity Oil.
