Merrimack Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Merrimack homes heating with number two heating oil, selecting which of the 31 heating oil companies that serve Merrimack makes a big difference.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who want a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 4 “full-service” oil companies that serve Merrimack. Full service companies such as Palmer Gas Co Inc or B & H Oil Co offer clients annual contracts which consist of a combined package of both automatic number two heating oil delivery and heating system 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 homeowner does not need to monitor the level of the oil tank or place individual orders.
Discount Oil Companies: Also known by the names “COD Fuel” or “Cash Heating Oil” companies, discount oil companies are for clients who are on a budget. With discount oil companies, in return for better 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. A few of the 2 Merrimack cash heating oil companies serving Merrimack include Lemay Oil Services Inc and McLaughlin Oil.
