the Cost of Heating Oil Refills

The price paid was for the delivery and transportation of one hundred twenty five gallons of heating oil and for the heating oil itself to fill the in-ground tank. The service included drive up to the house, filling of the tank with the oil, the oil itself, and a basic inspection and check of our tank to ensure it was up to code and could hold the oil for the long term with no leaks or other problems.

The oil company that we have been dealing with since getting the house is the same company that has serviced the house since the 1970's or further back. The oil company therefore knows the best ways to go about pulling into our very awkwardly sloped yard and parking their truck so that the oil tank is reachable by their truck mounted equipment. The service workers for the company were very knowledgeable and answered a few questions that I had specifically about the oil delivery, and as a result made the process of getting the tank in order and maintaining the tank much easier for me.

For anyone looking to select a provider for their oil service, your best options are to find the best price or the best service. Often, the difference in service is negligible between most oil services. However, if you have a service you've used for a long time, stick with them. Also, if buying a home where one company has been servicing the house for a period of time, stick with their service as well, as their familiarity with the service at the home may lead to better service overall.
