Salem Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Salem homeowners heating with oil, choosing which of the 22 heating oil companies that serve Salem is an important decision.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system choose one of the 3 “full-service” oil companies that serve Salem. Full service companies such as Palmer Gas Co Inc or B & H Oil Co offer households annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic number two heating oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s fuel oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The client does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: also referred to as “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for customers 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 either when the level runs low or just before a major snowstorm. Examples of 2 Salem cash heating oil companies serving Salem include McLaughlin Oil Inc and Rochette's Oil Service Inc.
