How Payment & Pricing Plans Fight Fuel Cost Spikes
A price-capped budget plan is a smart idea this year!
The price of heating oil and other fuels has increased in recent months, and we know that type of unpredictability can wreak havoc on a budget. That’s why we offer options to protect our budget-conscious customers. Read on to learn more about how we can help keep fuel costs manageable.
EZ Pay takes the guesswork away
Heating oil prices may sometimes be unpredictable, but our monthly payment plan takes the guesswork out of your heating oil bills. You can spread out your winter fuel payments by enrolling in our budget plan, which we call EZ Pay. Enrolling in EZ Pay, at absolutely no cost, helps make your heating oil payments more predictable!
Here’s how EZ Pay works: We review your fuel use over the past few winters and calculate a monthly payment amount. Then, from July through May, you have 11 equal, predictable payments, which means no unexpectedly high heating bills.
Price protection gives you price certainty
Tired of the price spikes in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, and New Jersey—including Newark, Bayonne, Jersey City, Rahway, Woodbridge, and Linden? Our Price Protection program looks out for you:
- Before the heating season starts, you agree to pay a set per-gallon price for your home heating oil, and you’ll never pay above that cap.
- You’re protected and don’t have to worry about paying more, even when the market price of oil is higher than your price cap.
- The great part of this is that if heating oil prices drop below the cap, your price will go down too! This is known as downside protection. In other words, you’ll be protected both from rising costs, as well as losing out on more optimal pricing if costs fall significantly.
The takeaway here is that with the Price Protection program, you’re protected from skyrocketing prices – without being stuck with a mediocre rate if prices end up falling. It’s the best of both worlds, and there’s no risk to you, so contact us today!
