Delivery & Payment Options
We deliver heating oil, kerosene and off road diesel straight to your home. We also offer several types of delivery scheduling options and payment plans, sure to fit any schedule and budget.
Heating Oil Delivery Options
- Automatic Delivery: This delivery feature ensures that you never run out of fuel for your home. After an initial scheduled delivery, we closely monitor your fuel intake and assess the factors that contribute to your unique consumption rate. These variable components, such as the size of your home and number of residents, all contribute to your “K factor,” a figure that reflects your usage tendencies. We also track local weather forecasts and “degree days,” an approximation of daily temperatures in your area. Our computer program predicts your delivery schedule using the weather and temperature information and your personal K factor. You never have to watch your fuel gauge or wait around for a delivery. Automatic delivery is a hassle-free, worry-free approach to your fuel refilling needs, and it is available at no extra cost.
- Will Call Delivery: With this plan, you call our office whenever you need a fuel refill and we will respond promptly with our radio dispatched fuel trucks. This is a good option for people who travel often or for second homes, in which fuel consumption is not consistent. The drawback of this plan is that you must keep track of weather conditions and other variables as well as your personal usage habits. Please keep in mind that the will call plan is not for individuals that have busy schedules, because you may forget to order fuel and run out at a crucial time. Also, you must be present to pay when the fuel is delivered. If you feel that you can best judge when you need fuel refills due to erratic consumption or budgeting/conservation efforts, this is the plan for you; otherwise, we recommend enrolling in Automatic Delivery.
- Prompt Payment Discount: We offer a discount for payments received within 10 days of your heating oil delivery. We appreciate your business, and your timely payments allow us to streamline our internal functions and serve you better! Call to inquire about the prompt payment discount.
Payment Plans
- Prepayment Plan: We offer a pre-payment program that allows you to pay for the season’s fuel in advance, eliminating the burden of waiting for a bill each winter month. You must also be enrolled in our automatic delivery program to be eligible for this option. At the end of the season, any remaining balance will be refunded or rolled over for the next year, and outstanding costs will be billed to you at the same fixed rate.
- Smart Pay Plan: We offer this budget plan so that you won’t have to deal with large unpredictable payments during the heating season. To determine your payment amounts, we estimate your annual fuel consumption and apply industry forecasted oil prices, plus the cost of your service plan. Payments are evenly divided and sent out over [10, 11, 12] months, so there are no surprises. At the end of the year, a positive balance can be refunded or rolled over. The smart pay plan takes the guesswork out of paying your heating bills and allows you to create and maintain a household budget throughout the year.
