What is COD (Cash On Delivery) Fuel?
Why purchase COD Heating Oil?
Purchasing COD (Cash On Delivery) heating oil provides homeowners with flexibility, control, and the ability to manage heating costs effectively. With COD, you can order heating oil as needed without being tied to a long-term contract, allowing you to purchase fuel based on your current needs and budget. This option also gives you control over delivery timing, so you can schedule oil deliveries when your tank is low or when prices are favorable, ensuring you never run out unexpectedly. COD purchases typically involve no hidden fees or extra charges, meaning you pay only for the amount of oil delivered, which makes budgeting simpler and more predictable.
When I purchase oil on a COD basis am I getting inferior quality oil?
How can I be sure that I received the proper amount of oil I ordered?
Every oil truck is equipped with a certified meter that prints the exact number of gallons delivered, ensuring accuracy and transparency. These meters are regularly inspected and sealed by the County Department of Weights & Measures and are resealed annually to guarantee reliability and prevent tampering. When your delivery is complete, you will receive a printed ticket showing the precise volume of oil delivered, which you should retain for your records. This documentation provides a clear audit trail and allows you to verify that you received the proper amount. If you ever have concerns, our team is ready to assist.
