South Shore Massachusetts Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For South Shore Massachusetts households heating with fuel oil, picking which of the 264 heating oil companies that serve South Shore Massachusetts plays a big role in determining how much money is spent on heating each winter.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who prefer a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system select one of the 130 “full-service” oil companies that serve South Shore Massachusetts. Full service companies such as Ruggiero Bros Inc or A Hohmann & Co Inc offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic oil delivery and furnace 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 family 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 homeowners who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in exchange for lower prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Some of the 2 South Shore Massachusetts cash heating oil companies serving South Shore Massachusetts include Hingham Oil and Hughes Oil.
