Arlington Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Arlington families heating with number two heating oil, picking which of the 163 heating oil companies that serve Arlington 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 80 “full-service” oil companies that serve Arlington. Full service companies such as Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc or Absolute Oil offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic fuel oil delivery and boiler repair. With an automatic fuel oil delivery contract, the company tracks your home’s number two heating oil consumption and makes deliveries when your tank is running low. The customer 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 clients who are budget-conscious. With discount oil companies, in return for better prices, you monitor the fuel oil level in your tank, and you place an oil order when you're running low.
