Price Protection Our Price Protection Programs protect your family budget from price fluctuations.  When you choose one of the following plans you lock in a guaranteed rate on a specified number of gallons for the coming season.  We will examine your fuel usage history to help you determine the amount of gallons you are likely to use.  No matter how high the price of fuel may go throughout the winter, you will receive your fuel at the locked in rate.  Automatic delivery is required with all of our price protection plans listed below.  These plans are effective from August 1st until April 30th.      Fixed Pre-Buy Plan This option allows you to pre-pay for next year's fuel at one guaranteed price. Lock in a great fixed rate, regardless of market price.  You can purchase your entire heating season gallons or as little as 400 gallons.  All of your deliveries will be at the fixed pre-buy contract price until all of your prepaid gallons are delivered or until the end of the contract, whichever comes first.   Fixed Budget Plans The same as the option above, but instead of pre-paying the entire amount in one lump sum, it is spread out into 10 manageable payments beginning in July.  The lock in prices will be slightly higher than the pre-pay prices, but a lot easier on the budget!  Download Price Protection Plan Forms
