So many things are unpredictable these days. The weather. The news. The price of heating oil. Fuel prices can go up and down from year to year, season to season, and even day to day. No one needs that kind of uncertainty these days.
Part of our commitment to great service is to make life easier for you. That’s why our pricing and payment programs are designed to take the worry out of heating season by making your bills more predictable and manageable.
We offer a range of plans because we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone. Here’s a quick summary of the different options available.
Our Budget Plan is always our most popular, even when fuel costs are low. That’s because it can potentially cut winter bills nearly in half. We use an average based on your past heating oil use to spread your costs evenly over 12 months. That means you get predictable, level bills all year, so it’s easier for you to budget your expenses. You’ll avoid those high winter invoices no matter how cold it gets or how much fuel you use.
If we have a particularly harsh winter and you use more heating oil than usual, or prices spike enough to affect your average, we’ll adjust your payments so you don’t get hit with a large balance in the summer. Likewise, if it’s a mild winter, we can adjust and reduce your payments. The point is to help you save while avoiding big fluctuations.
With our PreBuy program, you buy all your heating oil in the summer. We’ll work with you to determine how much fuel you’ll need based on your past usage. This lets you take advantage of lower off-season pricing, and you won’t have to pay any fuel bills all winter.
Our Fixed Price option for heating oil is exactly what it sounds like: The price you pay for fuel all winter is fixed ahead of the heating season, and you’re locked in at that price. No matter what happens with fuel prices, your price won’t go over the fixed amount.
With our Price Cap plan, you lock in a maximum price per gallon for heating oil. No matter what happens with the cost of fuel, your price won’t go over your cap. Even better, if fuel prices are below your cap price on delivery day, you pay the lower price.
No matter what happens with prices next winter, our price protection plans are designed to help you keep costs manageable. We offer similar plans for propane, too. You may wonder what’s in it for us? When you sign up for one of these payment plans, we can plan our fuel buying better while taking advantage of lower summer heating oil prices. We can pass those savings on to you without having to cut corners on service to deliver great value.
But summer is the time to enroll in these plans. Contact us for more information today.
