You are responsible for clearing a safe path to your fill pipe. Please shovel snow and remove ice before the driver arrives. If the path is unsafe, our driver cannot deliver and a trip fee may apply. Driver safety is our priority—all deliveries are weather-dependent.
Yes, you can cancel before we charge your card with no penalty. If you cancel after we've charged but before dispatch, we'll refund you (minus any processing fees). Once the driver is dispatched, cancellations are not permitted and a trip fee applies.
We deliver heating oil with B10 (10% biodiesel) or B20 (20% biodiesel) blends, in compliance with Connecticut and federal regulations. Both blends meet ASTM standards and work in standard residential heating systems.

Common residential tank sizes are 275 gallons, 330 gallons, and 550 gallons (though sizes vary). Check for a label on your tank or measure it: a 275-gallon tank is typically about 60" long.

No problem. We charge you based on actual gallons delivered. If your tank held less than expected, we refund the difference. If it held more, we charge for the additional gallons. You're only charged for what you actually receive.
