Fuels - FAQ
- Regular “Off the Truck”
- This is the cost of the product directly from the driver, no discounts.
- Budget Pay
- Regular Fill customers can choose to go on a payment plan which locks in pricing for a certain amount of Fuel Oil for the winter season at a set price. Budget Pay establishes a set monthly payment for 12 months from September to August. This option is not for farm ag/commercial fuel uses, only for Home Heat.
- Direct Pay
- Customers with Direct Pay can sign up to have an electronic payment pulled from their banking account after they’ve had a delivery. This eliminates the need to worry about sending in payments manually or being late sending in a check.
- Online Pay
- Our Customer Portal has a convenient option to pay online! Just use your most recent statement or sales ticket as reference, or pay any amount you prefer. You can pay with VISA, MasterCard or Discover.
- Prepay
- Funds may be put on a customer’s account to use towards deliveries as prepayment.
We recommend that you regularly check your tank(s) and once the level is down to ¼ you should contact us to get on the delivery schedule.
Our minimum fuel delivery is 150 gallons.
Yes, absolutely!
The best is to call either your local Energy Specialist or call our office at 563-583-7386. You can also place orders online on our Customer Portal
- Regular Fill
- Qualifying customers can elect to keep accounts on a Regular Fill status. This allows our drivers to fill tanks regularly while they drive their routes. It greatly reduces the risk of running out of fuel when it is needed most.
- Will Call
- A customer can choose to be a Call-In customer. Call-In customers will purchase fuel at market-price at the time it is ordered. Customers using this plan must keep in mind the price of fuels fluctuate daily similarly to how gasoline pricing fluctuates at the gas pump. This plan requires the customer to self-monitor their tank level(s) and call in giving our drivers enough time to fill the tank to avoid delays or additional fees.
- Contracts

Conservation is easy with home heating oil products. First and foremost, a well-tuned, well-maintained system uses less oil. Also, turn down your thermostat. Each 1 degree lower equals approximately a 3% annual savings, and an additional 1% if you lower it again overnight. Consider a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat can save energy by automatically adjusting heating. Reduce the setting whenever everyone is asleep or away from the home.
