Cleanliness is an important oil heat improvement. Todays’ oil heat is 95 percent cleaner than it was in 1970. When properly adjusted and maintained, new oil heat systems create absolutely no soot, dirt, or odors in the home. Heating oil delivered by Acme Fuel is an Ultra-Low Sulfur (15 ppm) product. This reduces the sulfur emissions as much as 99 percent from traditional heating oil. This cleaner burning fuel gives us all a chance to breathe easier.
We use a few methods. Most customers are on a degree day schedule. Degree days are a measure of how cold the weather is. Our computer computes your K factor, which is like miles per gallon on a car; it is the rate at which you burn fuel for heat, which is correlated to the weather. Then we determine whether or not you have non-heat related appliances like water heaters, and we build in a gallon/day formula for that. The computer system takes all these factors and generates a ticket accordingly. We try to make a delivery when your tank is 2/3 empty. While this may sound confusing, and is by no means perfect, it has been around for a very long time and is quite accurate.
The other method is called a Julian method; with this method, we deliver to you every certain number of days. This works well if you have a large mix of non-heat related appliances, or a swimming pool heater. More information can be found by Googling degree day schedules.

Acme Fuel is a local, 3rd generation, family owned business that’s committed to providing its customers the best products and services, while also being good stewards of our community and the environment.
Other companies may try to sell you “teaser rates”. Teaser rates are when they offer their “set” price only to later raise it with surprise charges and fees. Even worse, they artificially lower their rates during the summer months when you need propane the least then immediately raise them again in the winter when you need your propane the most. Acme does NOT believe in dishonest pricing. Our prices only change when our wholesale prices change. Take a look at our current heating oil and propane prices, you won’t be disappointed.

Here at Acme Fuel, we do not believe in adding arbitrary fees to our deliveries. The surprise fees given by other companies is only a way to raise their price after they have already quoted you.

This way our customers can always count on our consistent prices.

Effective April 1, 2022, all credit/debit card payments for Fast Fuel invoices will incur a 3% surcharge to cover the costs of the credit/debit card fees charged to us.
We have resisted doing this, but with the increasing fees and the increasing price of fuel, we cannot absorb the costs any longer.
We encourage you to sign up for email statements and ACH billing. Not only do you avoid the fee, but we will give you an additional 5 cent per gallon DISCOUNT on fuel purchases made at our stations.
