Budget Plans & Price Protection Programs

Wisser Oil offers service plans, budget plans/price protection programs and automatic fuel delivery.

Budget Plan

Many people find it convenient to pay for their heating costs throughout the year instead of in lump payments during the winter months. We offer a budget plan so that you won’t have to deal with large unpredictable payments during the heating season. To determine your payment amounts, we estimate your annual fuel consumption and apply industry forecasted oil prices, plus the cost of your service plan. Payments are evenly divided and sent out over several months, so there are no surprises. At the end of the year, a positive balance can be refunded or rolled over. The budget plan takes the guesswork out of paying your heating bills and allows you to create and maintain a household budget throughout the year.

Price Protection

The retail price of oil fluctuates greatly throughout the year. Changes in supply and demand, speculator interests, problems with refineries and pipelines, and global political events can all affect the cost of your home heating oil. With our fixed price contract, you can lock in a low rate per gallon for the entire heating season. Even if oil prices skyrocket, you still pay the same low rate, which usually falls considerably below the market price. This is a great option for families or businesses that need to know the exact totals of their energy bills in order to create and maintain a budget. Price protection guarantees that your family or business will be shielded from prohibitive oil prices throughout the season.

Automatic Delivery

Our company’s automatic delivery feature ensures that you never run out of fuel for your home. After two or three initial scheduled deliveries, during which time we will closely monitor your fuel intake, we can assess the factors that contribute to your unique consumption rate. These variable components, such as the size of your home, type of insulation, number of residents, appliance efficiency and personal routines, all contribute to your “K factor,” a consolidated figure that accounts for your individual usage tendencies. We also track your local weather forecasts and “degree days,” which refers to the industry standard approximation of daily temperatures in your area. By combining this highly specific weather and temperature information with your personal K factor, our computer program predicts your precise delivery schedule. You never have to watch your fuel gauge or wait around for a delivery. If for any unlikely reason you do run out of fuel, we will send a delivery truck to you immediately, and a technician will fill your tank and restart your system. Make sure to contact us with any expected changes in your fuel consumption – a long vacation or a new member of the household, for example – so we can adjust your schedule accordingly. Automatic delivery is a hassle-free, worry-free approach to your fuel refilling needs. We strongly recommend that you utilize this convenient and timesaving option.
