If you buy a house in a cold area, you might find that you have oil heat. While there are multiple options for home heating fuel, oil heat remains a popular one. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 86% of the USA's oil sales in 2019 were to homes in the Northeast, which came to about 2.9 billion gallons of heating oil. If you're one of the many homeowners who rely on oil heat, you'll need to pick a provider. Here are some things to consider when choosing the best one for you.
Oil can get very expensive. Prices might vary widely between one home heating oil provider and another. So shop around and see what prices you can find. In addition, look into the ways they let you pay. You might be able to get a payment plan as well, making your costs more manageable.
While price is important, you might risk poor service with the cheapest option. Make sure that the home heating oil provider you choose has good customer service. They should have professional technicians and support staff who will work with you whenever you need help. If a company is slightly more expensive but has better service, it might be worth paying more to work with them.
Will the home heating oil company you're considering automatically deliver oil or do you need to call to set up an appointment? Many places will deliver it automatically, taking one thing off of your to-do list. If this is something you want, ask the company about it.
Will the company come out in a snowstorm or in the middle of the night if you have a heating emergency? Ask them what their policies are and decide whether or not it is worth the risk if it means paying a little less.
You'll want to work with a company where everybody knows what they are doing. Find out what kinds of qualifications the staff and technicians have at your chosen home heating oil provider. If they don't know what they're doing, they can cause damage to your home that will result in serious consequences. A company with well-trained staff will make things run smoothly and keep your home heat running.
Choosing a home heating oil provider can be stressful. With these things in mind, you can make the right decision for your home.
