Wilmington Homeowner’s Guide to Selecting an Oil Company
For Wilmington households heating with oil, choosing which of the 131 heating oil companies that serve Wilmington can drastically impact the cost of home heating.
Full Service Oil Companies: Homeowners who are willing to pay a premium for a “set-it-and-forget-it” heating system pick one of the 62 “full-service” oil companies that serve Wilmington. Full service companies such as Keohan Fuels & Transportation Inc or Absolute Oil 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 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 household 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 homeowners who are looking to save money. 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 the oil gauge dips below a quarter tank. Some of the 2 Wilmington cash heating oil companies serving Wilmington include Ranco Enterpises Inc and Maria's Oil.
