Yorktown Home Heating Oil Plan

1.    The Plan is open to residential customers only, and only applies to deliveries within the Town of Yorktown. Commercial customers may not participate in the Plan.

2.    It is the resident’s responsibility to contact participating Vendors directly for the purchase and delivery of oil, and any and all other services. Under no circumstances shall the Town assist any resident in scheduling, obtaining and/or purchasing home heating oil.

3.    Vendors agree to provide oil to residents at approximately 40 cents over the daily wholesale price. Vendors further agree to guarantee that the reduced cost shall be lower than the Vendors’ available daily retail rate. Due to daily fluctuations in the price of home heating oil, residents should contact all Vendors to determine their daily rate; and also verify with Vendors, prior to delivery, the cost per gallon to be paid on the date of delivery.

4.    Residents are encouraged to visit this page on the Town's website, which shall provide regularly updated Plan information, including an updated list of participating Vendors. The Town shall not provide the wholesale price to residents directly. Anyone who contacts the Town regarding the daily cost will be directed to contact participating Vendors. The Town shall not provide any pricing information regarding the Plan other than the information provided on the Town website.

5.    Calls for delivery and all arrangements for payment shall be the responsibility of the Vendor and resident. At no time shall the Town be responsible for or be held liable to any resident or Vendor regarding service and/or payment pursuant to the Plan. The Town will not appropriate any public funds for the payment of oil.

6.    There shall be a minimum delivery requirement of 150 gallons per delivery per residence. Resident agrees to pay a $25 surcharge for any delivery not totaling a minimum of 150 gallons. Residents must pay on a COD basis. Resident agrees to pay an additional fee for payment by credit card at the Vendor’s discretion, however, said rate shall not exceed 10 cents per gallon in addition to the daily rate. All deliveries must be paid in full by resident at the time of delivery.

7.    The Vendor shall use its best efforts to deliver oil to residents and/or render service to residents, when Vendor has agreed to provide service to a resident, within 24 hours of any call.

8.    While not required under the Plan, any Vendor which chooses to offer a Service Agreement, shall provide such services at a reduced rate, to be determined by the Vendor. Additionally, each Vendor shall (if such service is provided to Vendor’s other customers) provide residents simple energy audits or NYSERDA-sponsored energy audits, when requested, at a nominal fee.

* These companies offer both #2 fuel oil and bioheat products.
