The price of heating oil can be unpredictable – but that doesn’t mean your monthly heating bills have to be.

With a home heating program like SmartPay from Oehlert Brothers, you’ll be protected from unwanted surprises on your monthly bill – and from rising and falling oil prices.

Benefits of SmartPay from Oehlert Brothers include:

  • More predictable and manageable bills – With SmartPay, your total cost of fuel for the year is spread out over twelve equal monthly payments.
  • Price cap protection – A price cap puts a limit on how high your fuel price can rise in a given period. See “How a Price Cap Program Works” for more information.
  • Downside protection – If the daily market price drops below your cap price between May 1 and April 30, you’ll pay the lower price, guaranteed.

How a Price Cap Program Works

  • A price cap program sets a ceiling for the cost of your oil, which limits how much the price can rise – but not how far it can fall.
  • Like all heating oil suppliers, we charge a fee for this service. That’s because to offer a price cap, we have to buy insurance from our suppliers in case the market price drops.
  • The global oil market has been volatile in recent years, so the cost of this insurance has increased dramatically. To continue to offer a price cap option, we must pass along a “hedging fee” to cover the cost of insurance. We do not profit from this fee.
  • This hedging fee is invoiced to your account in May, but is paid for as part of your monthly bill for convenience.
