First-Time Buyer’s Guide to Heating Oil Delivery

Account setup

We’ll gather address, tank size/location, preferred contact, and payment method. Tell us if the tank is indoor vs outdoor, and share any driveway notes for the truck.

Minimums & scheduling heating oil delivery

Most heating oil deliveries have a minimum gallon amount. Choose automatic (we schedule using degree‑days) or will‑call (you order as needed). New movers often start with will‑call, then switch.

Heating oil delivery safety basics

A functioning vent whistle is required. Clear access, keep pets secure, and make sure the fill and vent caps are visible. If you’ve ever smelled fuel, tell us before we fill.

Payment options

We accept cards and offer budget plans once we see a usage pattern. Auto‑pay speeds up routing and prevents delivery delays.

What happens on heating oil delivery day

Our driver verifies the setup, listens for the whistle during fill, and records meter readings. If you were empty, we can prime and restart the burner on request.

After your first fill

Track your gauge for a week to learn your burn rate. If you’re using oil faster than expected, call—insulation or thermostat tweaks can help a lot.
