Oil Heat Prices are Killing us... What are you paying? (Washington: new house, water heater) - New Jersey (NJ) - City-Data Forum

Can anyone tell me what rate they are paying for oil heat and with what company. We're with Super Oil and the price is like $3.70/gallon. We are expected to use like 200 gallons every 3 weeks in the winter.
Is that correct or average?
Our old place was gas heat, so I'm not familiar with this. Our new house is about 1800sq.ft. Any advice is appreciated.

Are you on automatic delivery with them>> you pay through the nose for that service

Latest prices from place I use... $3.14 for 200 gallons..I check my furnance and call when getting low:

I finally filled up this past Monday for $3.229/gallon. Norton Discount Oil, Washington, NJ

Should note that this is a cash only price with a 150 gallon minimum.

That sounds like alot of oil usage for an 1800 SF house unless you either keep it at 75, have an extremely inefficient boiler, or have no insulation in the walls.

Natural gas PSE&G, high efficiency unit, bill for Sept was $150. Granted it was a cooler month without the AC.

I agree..our 275 gallon tank was just filled late Sept and normally that will take us to at least the 1st of the new year, longer if not really cold.. Our water is heated through the boiler as well

I agree also. My house is between 1700-1800 sf and last winter I used an average of 90 gallons of oil per month. I should add that my hot water heater is electric and I have forced hot air not a boiler.

I am in Central Jersey and was just told about a company in Sandy Hook. Has anyone heard of it? COD Service and they go by 3 names. I searched it online and can't find a phone number or any info. Sandy Hook Discount something.

Also, have you used them?

Thanks!
