This site was born out of frustration with the home heating oil buying process in Massachusetts. There is no shortage of companies from which to buy heating oil for your home. As a result, it's hard to keep up with each company's price-per-gallon.

In the Fall of 2018 one company in Middlesex County was charging over $3 per gallon, while another was charging $2.69. A $.30/gallon difference may seem small, but when you're filling a 275 gallon tank that difference amounts to roughly $80 at each fill-up. New England winters run 6-7 months on average, and a 2800sqft home usually means a refill every month: at that rate you're saving roughly $500 every winter just by paying attention to the least expensive supplier.

Now, paying attention to your home's oil consumption sucks. Heading to the basement to check the gauge every week sucks. But saving $500 a year doesn't suck. Tossing $500 in a savings account each year can turn into $3k-$4k in as little as 5 years. And the effort required is small: (a) choose a bank (b) make that annoying trip to the basement periodically (c) visit this site periodically to find the lowest home heating oil price.
