At Blanchard Oil, we
recognize that some of our customers prefer a
more “hands-on” approach to controlling their
winter heating costs. To help you do this, we
offer a trio of payment plans: our
Pre-buy
Plan,
our Cap
Plan,
and our Budget
Plan. By
offering these options, we hope to provide
you with choices which work best for your
particular budgetary needs.
Pre-Buy Plan
This plan allows you to purchase your heating fuel in advance for the coming season. The prices for each product are listed on our contract form. (You can receive a copy of our current contract by clicking here or calling our office). The advantage of this plan is that you will know your heating costs for the season in advance, and you are locked in at a set price should market prices rise. The disadvantage of this program is that you will have already purchased the product at a set price, and retail prices could fall below the price you have already paid. We begin offering this plan in mid-to-late June, and the Pre-buy plan is in effect from the time you sign-up through June 30th of the following year. Payment in full is due at the time of sign up.Cap Plan
This plan is a guarantee that you will not pay more than a set price for your heating product. If retail prices fall below the cap price, you will pay the lesser price; if they go above the cap price, you will only pay the cap price. You decide how many gallons you wish to purchase price protection for. You then pay a one-time payment to purchase this price protection, based on the number of gallons you chose to protect. The Cap plan starts once your payment is received and ends on June 30th of the following year.Supplies are limited for both the Pre-buy and Cap plans, so if interested contact us soon by either clicking here to have a contract sent to you, or call our office at (802) 754-2389.
