Price Protection Plans are closed for the upcoming winter. We will once again be offering price protection in the spring.
Prebuy Heating Oil Plan
Members can lock in their fuel price for the year by pre-purchasing their fuel. Pre-buy plans are good for people who want the security of knowing their price is fixed and will not change throughout the year. This is a great option for people who want to pay for their gallons up front and not have a recurring monthly fuel bill.
- Your heating oil price is fixed from July 1st until May 31st of the following year or until the gallons you prepurchased are used up, whichever comes first.
- If the market goes up or down, your price remains the same.
Last year many members were able to lock in a fixed price of $2.74 and saved over $1.20 per gallon.
Capped Price Plan
Unfortunately, volatility in the wholesale fuel markets have made it impossible to offer our Capped Price plan this year. We were unable to lock in a reasonable rate to pass on to our members for the Capped Price plan. If you have used the Capped Price plan in the past, please review the Pre-Buy and Budget Payment plans to see if either of these programs may work for you.
