Budget Billing:                                                                                                                                                                                               Our budget plan lets you spread your heating oil cost over 10 months.  (May - Feb)  This budget plan also includes a lock in rate (When Available) with Automatic delivery. This program protects you from large unexpected bills and spikes in the fuel oil market. We will decide what your monthly budget payment will be by multiplying your yearly oil consumption by the predicted market price per gallon for the following heating season, and then divide it into 10 monthly payments. This may not be the lock in price for the heating season. You will decide what day of the month you would like the payment to be due by and it should be sent in by that day of every month. If your monthly payments are not made on time or missed, the lock-in price and automatic delivery can be canceled at any time. We will send you a contract explaining the budget plan to be signed and mailed back to use with your first months payment. When we receive that we will send out the 10 envelopes for each month that are due on the day of the month that you have chosen. At the end of the 10 month pay period you may have a credit or balance. The balance must be paid in full by April 30th. Will Call: Murphy's Fuel will deliver your oil on a COD basis only.
