How it works
Find the lowest heating oil price for your town in three steps
-
Find your town
Use your location, type a ZIP code, or search by town name. Your coordinates never reach our server.
-
Compare the dealers that deliver
Each dealer is shown at the price of its branch nearest your town, lowest first, with the day it was posted. Switch between oil and kerosene with one tap.
-
Call and order
Tap to call the dealer and confirm the price before you order. Every phone number is also written out, so you can dial from a landline.
Reported prices
See what your neighbors actually paid
An advertised price is what a dealer posts. People using the app can also report what they paid: the price per gallon, any delivery fees, how many gallons, and the delivery date. Others confirm or dispute each report, so you can tell which ones hold up.
- Shown apart from advertised prices, never averaged together
- No names or email addresses on any report
- Reports from towns of under 1,000 people are never shown to others
- Reading reports needs no account; reporting and voting do

Our sources
Where the prices come from
Advertised prices
The prices dealers post publicly, each shown with the day it was posted.
Delivery areas
Which dealers deliver to a town comes from the dealers’ own websites, their branch locations and neighbors’ reports, so confirm when you call.
Reported prices
Come from people using the app. The two are always shown separately and never averaged together.
Coverage is thin north and east of Bangor, where few dealers post their prices.
We are not a dealer and are not affiliated with any dealer — confirm the price with the dealer before you order.
Questions
Heating oil questions, answered
How much is heating oil in Maine right now?
It depends on the dealer and on your town. Each dealer sets its own price, and a dealer’s branches can post different ones. The app shows the latest advertised price from each dealer that delivers to your town, with the day it was posted.
Is kerosene more expensive than heating oil?
Usually, per gallon. Kerosene stays liquid at lower temperatures, so it’s used for outdoor tanks, many mobile homes and direct-vent heaters. The app lists oil and kerosene prices separately.
Why do prices differ from town to town?
Dealers deliver from branches, and each branch can post its own price. The app shows each dealer at the price of its branch nearest your town, so you compare prices posted near where you live.
Do I need an account?
No. Prices, towns, favorites and other people’s reports all work without signing in. You sign in to report a price, to confirm, dispute or flag a report, to block someone, or to add a dealer.
