Securing a reliable supply of heating oil is important to any homeowner who relies on their oil burner to stay warm. With heating oil being one of the biggest energy expenses that homeowners have to pay throughout the year, knowing more about all the available options can help homeowners to better meet their needs and save money. 

One of the options homeowners have is to sign a heating oil contract. While Chester County Fuel Oil does not require customers to sign a contract to start scheduling deliveries, homeowners who choose to sign one get a lot more than just heating oil. 

Homeowners will be able to take advantage of additional benefits, including potential discounts, price protection, and a convenient selection of payment and delivery options. These advantages make signing a heating oil contract a great option for heating oil consumers.

Not all heating oil contracts are the same, and only one will be best suited to your specific needs. If you are thinking about signing a new contract, here are all of Chester County Fuel Oil’s most popular options.

Chester County Fuel Oil’s Heating Oil Contracts

Chester County Fuel Oil offers a variety of different heating oil contract options designed to meet the varying needs of their customers. These contracts come in two varieties, including market price contracts and price protection contracts.

No matter which type of contract you choose, you will be able to take advantage of a variety of benefits, including your choice of convenient delivery options and flexible payment plans.

Market Price Contract

Chester County Fuel Oil’s Market Price Contract is pretty straightforward. When you sign, you will pay the current market price for your heating oil when it is delivered. While this contract does not include any price protections, it does offer further opportunities for cost savings, including senior citizen discounts. 

Customers who choose the Market Price Contract have the option to decide between two payment plans, the first of which is the budget plan. With this plan, you will be able to split your payments into 12 equal monthly installments to spread your heating oil expenses throughout the year. 

Market Price Contract customers may also choose the 10-Day Pay-As-You-Go Plan, which offers customers an additional discount as long as they pay within 10 days of receiving their delivery. 

This contract also allows customers to choose between two convenient delivery options. Will Call Delivery allows you to schedule deliveries whenever you would like, while automatic deliveries allow homeowners to take a more hands off approach to meeting their heating oil needs.

Price Protection Contracts

Price Protection Contracts are the most popular options among Chester County Fuel Oil’s customers. Not only do these contracts allow you to lock in the price-per-gallon early, but they also come with the same freedoms of choice when it comes to picking a delivery and payment plan. 

In addition to the Budget and 10-Day Pay-As-You-Go Plan, Price Protection Contracts also have an available Pre-Pay Plan, which allows customers to pay for their entire season’s worth of heating oil upfront at a significant discount. 

The added flexibility that comes with signing a Price Protection Contract does not end there. These contracts come in two different varieties that can help customers save even more money on their heating oil bill.

Fixed Pricing Plan

The Fixed Price Plan is the standard when it comes to Chester County Fuel Oil’s Price Protection Contracts. This plan lets customers lock in their oil price early, ensuring that they will never be left footing the extra bill, even if the market price for heating oil goes up.

CAP Pricing Plan

The CAP Pricing Plan comes at an additional cost; however, it provides another big opportunity to save on your energy bill. Not only does the CAP Pricing Plan allow customers to lock in their price early, but the price they lock is not always what they will have to pay.

The agreed upon price is only a cap. While you will never have to worry about paying more if prices go up, if the market price falls below your cap rate, you will get to take advantage of the new lower market price too.
