The Cost of Home Heating Oil!

With the cost of a barrel of crude looking like it will reach $100 the price of home heating oil has also been markedly increasing.

Back in October of 2010 I came across a home heating service on the internet, (CODFuel.com), which has provided our family with substantial savings regarding the ordering and timely delivery of COD home heating fuel.

The service is totally free. Simply register with the service with your home address and email address and, when you want to order oil,  you simply type in your zip code and the service provides you with a listing of multiple reputable suppliers who service our area.

Each suppplier provides a listing of discount prices (credit card or Cash/COD), which change daily, depending on the amount of fuel you wish to order, eg; 100-149 gallons; 150-200 gallons, etc., as well as their next available delivery dates for this area.

All you have to do is review all of the provided suppliers and choose the one who is offering the cheapest prices that particular day, indicate how you want to pay (creditcard or cash), and then place your order.
(Note  If you choose the COD or cash option, someone must be home in order to pay for and receive your delivery.)

As an example, yesterday I called an area supplier who I have used in the past because of their reasonable prices, and was told their price for 100 gallons or more as $3.24 per gallon or $3.19 if I chose to pay cash.

I then went on line with CODFuel.com and ordered from that same supplier and was quoted a price of $3.04 per gallon, .20 cents less than the price quote obtained by dealing directly with the supplier!  I ordered 125 gallons for a Thursday delivery and saved myself $25.00.

As I said, I have used this free service since October of last year and in additon to being quick and reliable, I have also saved a substantial amount of money.

Just thought I would pass this information on to all of you.  It can't hurt to check it out.  It's free and it can save you money!
