Cash on Delivery (COD)

- Service and maintenance are charged separately, which costs you more over time
*Skaggs-Walsh specializes in 24/7 heating oil service plans
Our 24/7 service plan offers the most value. While the fuel delivery costs are marginally more expensive than the other two options, they include repair and maintenance coverage to ensure that your home stays warm. Since most homes with heating oil have older boilers, this service provides enough cash value that a full-service plan like this usually ends up making your oil heating system cheaper in the long run.

How To Save Money on Heating Oil
Here are a few things you can do to save money on heating oil:
Skaggs-Walsh explains how you can save money on Heating Oil
Use a Smart Thermostat
Upgrade/Maintain Your Heating System- Make Energy-Efficient Changes at Home
- Choose a Bioheat Fuel Vendor*
Smart thermostats can also qualify households for credits, and they reduce costs through smart technology that keeps your home at a comfortable but efficient temperature.
Upgrading your heating system to a more modern and efficient one can allow your oil to go further. Or, if you can’t afford to upgrade, getting a 24/7 service plan can ensure that your current system is operating as efficiently as possible.
Homeowners can reduce heating costs by closing curtains at night, setting their thermostat one or two degrees cooler, and avoiding heating rooms that they’re not using.
If your heating oil vendor uses cleaner biofuels, you can qualify for NY State credits that will help pay for some of your heating expenses.
