Not all oil companies are created equal. Sometimes the cheapest option isn’t the best.  Routine jobs can usually be handled adequately by just about any oil company out there, but it takes a really good full-service oil company to take care of problems when the worst of winter weather is beating you down. Here’s a list of seven important qualities all good, quality, reliable oil companies should have:

1. Trained & certified technicians- You want someone coming to your home who knows what they are doing and who is able to solve problems correctly the first time, so you don’t have to go through the same old rigmarole over and over again.
2. 24-Hour Emergency Service- If you’ve got a problem with your furnace at 2 AM, you want to know someone from the oil company will be at your door promptly and have the problem fixed before the sun comes up.
3. Automatic deliveries- You shouldn’t ever have to worry about running out of oil in your tank.
4. Credit terms on fuel bills- Make sure you always know what you’re being charged for, and how often and how much you need to pay.
5. Flexible payment options- You deserve to have the option of monthly payments and other service plans that can protect you against having large, unexpected bills that must be paid all at once.
6. Sufficient liability insurance- You deserve to be covered in the event of property damage.
7. Fully stocked service vehicles- All parts should be on-board when they arrive, so problems can be fixed same day, on-the-spot.
