Pricing Plans

Cap Protection Pricing Plans are ideal for those who prioritize stability and wish to avoid the uncertainty of rising costs.

With this plan, the price per gallon of heating oil is locked for the duration of the agreement, regardless of market fluctuations. It’s our most popular option, as energy prices can be highly volatile, often experiencing unpredictable spikes and drops. To eliminate the stress of unexpected heating bills during winter, Eastern Fuel estimates your total annual heating cost and divides it into 12 manageable monthly payments.

This plan provides true price protection from market volatility. Your oil delivery price will not exceed the Price Cap during the 12 months of the program—even if prices increase in winter. If retail prices drop below the cap, your heating oil price will decrease accordingly.

Advantages:

Predictability: Know your costs upfront, making budgeting easier.
Protection: Safeguarded against price increases caused by market fluctuations.

Variable Pricing Plans are ideal for individuals comfortable with market fluctuations who want the opportunity to benefit from potential price decreases. With this plan, the price per gallon of heating oil changes based on current market rates, offering flexibility and the potential for savings if prices drop. Customers who opt for automatic delivery but choose not to participate in the price protection budget plan can also take advantage of a prompt payment discount. If payment is mailed within seven days of delivery, the delivery price may be reduced by the discount advertised on the delivery ticket.

While this plan allows for savings and flexibility, it comes with certain disadvantages. Price unpredictability can make budgeting more challenging, and there is a risk of exposure to market spikes, particularly during colder months when demand is high.
