Chester Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Chester households heating with heating oil, choosing which of the 18 heating oil companies that serve Chester 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 6 “full-service” oil companies that serve Chester. Full service companies such as Royal Petroleum Inc or Wister Coal & Fuel Oil Co offer homeowners annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and heating system repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The household 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 customers who are looking to save money. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the heating oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low. A few of the 2 Chester cash heating oil companies serving Chester include Mauger & Company Inc Inc and Brandywine Fuel.
