Energy Co-op of Vermont Membership Benefits
Automatic Oil & Kerosene Deliveries
We use our computers to keep an eye on your oil tank so that you don't have to worry about running out of oil. We use factors like your home's size and insulation levels, and the weather, especially in winter, to schedule deliveries when your tank is about one third full. We ask members to call us when there are changes in their oil or kerosene use - they've built an addition, installed a pellet stove, are leaving the house empty, and so on - so that we can adjust their delivery schedule.
Premium Quality Wood Pellet Deliveries
We deliver more than 1,000 tons of Vermont Wood Pellets and LG Granules each year. Both are high-energy, low-ash pellets that are getting rave reviews from our members.
Energy Co-op of Vermont Price Protection and Monthly Payment Plans
We offer several price protection and monthly payment plans for heating oil, kerosene and wood pellets for our members from spring through fall each year.
Our "No Run-Out" Guarantee
If despite our best efforts you ever run out of oil or kerosene, we'll fill your tank as soon as we can - even if it's in the middle of the night. And we'll give you a $50 credit toward your bill. This applies to Co-op members who are on automatic delivery, who are up to date with their payments and who have told us about any changes that would increase their oil use.
24 Hour Emergency Service with the Energy Co-op of Vermont
Heating system emergencies are a serious matter. We respond to emergencies as soon as possible by dispatching an experienced service technician day or night.
The Co-op Guardian Plan
Our service plan is not only a smart way to secure your family's comfort, it's one of the best service plans in the industry. With the Co-op Guardian Plan, we keep your family warm and comfortable all winter long - and you save on heating equipment repairs and oil bills.
Better Energy Prices with the Energy Co-op of Vermont
Because we set our prices to achieve a modest margin (currently 50 cents/gallon) above our wholesale fuel costs, our prices are often lower than most of our competitors' prices. Total savings from September 2000 through May 2010 were more than $500,000 (comparison is with average Vermont prices as reported by the Vermont Department of Public Service).
Discounts & Special Offers
Co-op members receive discounts and special offers from several businesses and organizations. These are listed on the back of our fuel delivery tickets - which also serve as your proof of membership.
Rewards for Referrals
Many of our members recommend the Energy Co-op to their friends and neighbors. We really appreciate it. So, each time someone joins the Energy Co-op after being referred by a member, we post a $25 credit to the member's account. It's our way of saying thank you.
The Co-op Oil Bank - Members Helping Members
We work with several federal, state and private organizations to provide heating fuel and equipment service to low-income Vermonters. We also put $2 of every $12 membership into the Co-op Oil Bank to help pay for oil deliveries and service work for Co-op members facing tough times.
Unique Ownership Benefits
You are invited to our annual meeting where you have a voice and a vote in how the Co-op is managed, and you may also receive patronage refunds, payments we may make to our members when we have a surplus.
