Home heating oil price

[iamskippy]

Great link James. Question about home heating fuel. As with gas and diesel grade do manufacturers make a difference in quality. Diesel fuel, off road and home heating oil are the same with just a chemical die added so they can tax it differently.

So the question is does buying from these mom and pop guys make a difference when burning it. Does it clog easier? Require more maintenance? Not burn as hot?

Skip, I have been buying from a Mom and Pop for 10 years since I dropped Petro the crook. No issues with furnace nor anything associated with it.
They clean and service it every may for $89.00, Check my central air and just do a great job. Cash only, no cc.

$2.33 yesterday.

All depends whether you are on a service contract or not. I am on an annual service contract, I am not home all the time. So 24 hour service if needed and with the contract they pay for all the small part failures....solenoid valves, circ pumps, sensors, hydro tank replacement....they pick all that up.

But you are paying 2.33 (automatic delivery) vice 2.19 from a mom and pop call service.
