Oilheat provides home owners with the ability to do business with their fuel supplier of choice.

The competitive environment assures personal attention and service from a local Oilheat dealer, because meeting customer needs one-by-one is what adds up to a full-service Oilheat company.

Natural gas and electric utilities are government-regulated monopolies which are guaranteed a return on investment. Because they are substantially larger in size and service area than most Oilheat companies, utilities tend to be more bureaucratic and impersonal. Each Oilheat dealer is an independent businessperson who knows the heating patterns and identity of customers on a person-to-person basis. Only Oilheat lets you make the personal choice for fuel supply and heating comfort.

Perhaps the Energy Information Administration, the U.S. government's reporting arm for fuel data, said it best: "Heating oil competes with gas primarily in New England and the Middle Atlantic States. In these areas, customers continue to choose oil for it's competitive price, for the personal service they get from fuel oil vendors, and the overall heating comfort and ready hot water oil provides during their cold winters." 

Oilheat enables home owners to have a supply of fuel oil stored safely on your property.

No need to worry about the weather, because the oil in the tank is yours to use for heat and hot water whenever you want.  By comparison, in extremely cold weather, natural gas customers can be subject to pressure drops in the pipelines. A severe pressure drop can result in total loss of heat.
