What to Look for in a Heating Oil Company

What People Say They Want—and How We Deliver

Ask homeowners what they want from a heating oil company (beyond reliable heating oil delivery) and you’ll get answers like these:

• problems fixed right the first time
• service and installation done at scheduled time
• ease of getting an appointment
• courtesy/politeness of service technicians
• service technician leaves work area clean.

In other words, they’re looking for a full-service company who does much more than just drop fuel into their heating oil tank.

This is Westmore Fuel’s 85th year in the heating fuel and equipment service business, and over that time, we’ve consistently improved our capabilities and expanded our product line.

The Westmore Advantage

We have a dedicated staff of caring employees who are always ready to help you. They live in the communities they love to serve, and they understand the needs you have. Their knowledge and commitment help us to deliver not only B20 Bioheat® fuel but quality and value—all backed by many decades of heating oil experience. Here are five other ways we stand head and shoulders above the competition. We call it the Westmore Advantage.

• Guaranteed Fuel Supply — In 1982, Westmore Fuel put a plan in place to guarantee fuel supply to its customers — even under the most extreme conditions. Our 1.2-million-gallon marine storage terminal, along with strategic supplier alliances, takes away any worry about any supply shortages. Not every fuel oil company can make this guarantee!
• Environmentally friendly products — Westmore Fuel has been leading the way in providing B20 Bioheat fuel, which burns cleaner, emits less pollutants and produces more BTU’s per gallon than natural gas.
• Superior equipment service — All our service technicians are Westmore Fuel employees who have received the best training and certification. That means you can expect consistently expert, clean and courteous heating equipment service from our service department team.
• Reducing heating costs for customers — Westmore Fuel remains committed to helping its customers reduce the cost to heat their homes. Through higher-efficiency fuels and heating oil systems, Westmore Fuel does everything we can to help customers lower their energy consumption. We also offer multiple pricing and payment options to help manage costs.
• Delivering a remarkably safe heating fuel — B20 Bioheat fuel is not explosive — it won’t even burn if a lit match is dropped into it. An oil burner needs to heat fuel to 140 degrees and atomize it to make it ignite. A heating oil system also cannot generate dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the home without first emitting visible warning signs of a system malfunction.

B20 Bioheat® Fuel in NY and CT

One of the most important changes has been our transition to delivering only B20 Bioheat® fuel to all of our customers. We were one of the first heating fuel companies to enter the biofuels market, and it’s rewarding to see others in the industry just beginning to catch up to the benefits of delivering this clean-burning, renewable heating fuel. Plus, our New York customers reap an extra reward, thanks to a 20¢-per-gallon state tax credit for using Westmore’s B20 Bioheat fuel.
