If you recently placed an order for heating oil for your Eastern Pennsylvania home and feel like you paid a very different price than you did the last time you placed an order, you may not be imagining things. Fuel prices are, indeed, constantly fluctuating and changing due to a few reasons.
Like many of the goods and products that we purchase, the cost of heating oil is impacted by multiple factors and elements. Let’s take a look at a few of them:
By understanding the factors influencing heating oil prices, you can better prepare for price fluctuations and reduce heating costs.
While the price of heating oil changes, one thing remains pretty consistent – you don’t want to wait until the first day of winter to pick up the phone and place your fuel delivery.
In fact, here at Oehlert Bros. Inc. we recommend capitalizing on the off-peak months and ordering your heating oil sometime between May and September. This helps you save money since fuel prices may be lower and makes it easier (and more convenient) to get a delivery scheduled.
