Will-Call vs. Automatic Heating Oil Delivery

Two common approaches to heating oil ordering are customer-initiated orders and supplier-managed recurring delivery arrangements. Availability and terms vary by provider.

Will-call ordering

With will-call ordering, the customer monitors inventory and requests fuel when needed. This offers direct control over the request but requires consistent tank-level tracking and sufficient planning time.

Automatic delivery arrangements

Some suppliers offer arrangements based on usage history or estimated consumption. Customers should ask how deliveries are triggered, how changes in usage are handled, and what contractual or payment terms apply. N & L Fuel Corp. has not confirmed an automatic delivery program on this website.

Choosing an approach

Compare the building's staffing, tank monitoring, usage variability, purchasing controls, and contingency plan. For multifamily properties, clearly assign responsibility for checking inventory and authorizing orders.

Frequently asked questions

PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE

Choose an ordering approach that fits your property

Will-call means the customer requests replenishment when needed. Automatic delivery generally involves a separately agreed monitoring or replenishment arrangement. Ask which services are actually available rather than assuming enrollment is offered.

01

Will-call: customer-led ordering

  • Assign responsibility for checking inventory and contacting the supplier
  • Set a reminder to review usage more frequently during cold periods
  • Allow for supplier availability and lead times before fuel becomes critically low
02

Automatic: confirm the arrangement in writing

  • Ask whether the company offers automatic delivery for your property
  • Clarify how usage is estimated or monitored and who verifies tank details
  • Review pricing, minimums, notification, access and cancellation terms
03

Make the choice by operational need

  • Consider whether an owner, superintendent or manager can monitor fuel levels
  • Review the number of properties and their individual storage requirements
  • Keep an independent contingency plan regardless of ordering model
Keep in mind

Automatic delivery is not guaranteed or offered by default on this website. A customer must confirm any available arrangement directly with N & L Fuel Corp.
