Keep reading this blog to learn more about fuel heating plans and their many benefits.
What Is a Fuel Budget Plan?
A fuel budget plan is a plan offered by your heating fuel provider that helps manage how you pay for your home’s heating fuel throughout the heating season. There are a variety of plans available, but they are designed to make heating your home more affordable and avoid big surprise bills in the winter.
The Benefits of Enrolling in a Fuel Heating Plan
Fuel heating plans are a smart way to take control of your home heating. Some of the most popular perks include:
- Protection from rising fuel costs
- More manageable payments
- Flexible options to fit your household needs
- Reduced risk of paying more during peak heating months
Brothers Oil Fuel Heating Plans
Brothers Oil wants you to get the most out of your heating oil every year and offers two types of fuel payment and pricing plans: a budget payment plan and a price protection program.
Our budget payment plan helps spread out your heating bill payments throughout the year. We will calculate your estimated fuel cost based on your usage history and the predicted fuel prices for the upcoming heating season and divide that estimate into 11 equal monthly payments.
We offer three price protection programs: Prepaid in Full, 8 Monthly Payments, and Price Cap with Downside Protection. All three require a minimum order of 500 gallons.
The Prepaid in Full and 8 Monthly Payments programs let you lock in a low fixed rate for your yearly heating fuel. With Prepaid in Full, you pay upfront and get the lowest available rate. With 8 Monthly Payments, you spread your costs over time at a slightly higher fixed rate.
Our Price Cap with Downside Protection allows you to lock in a capped price per gallon for the season. You will never pay more than your capped price, but if the daily rate drops below your cap, you will always pay the lower price. This plan can be combined with either Prepaid in Full or the 8 Monthly Payments program to make the most of your savings.
