What Else Should You Know About Heatable?

We're a heating oil delivery company with roots in Maine and New Hampshire. Our goal is to make the entire process of ordering and receiving discount heating oil as easy as three clicks on the Heatable website or two taps and a swipe on the Heatable app! We deliver discount heating oil to the Southern New Hampshire and Maine.

We were founded by a small group of New Englanders who have been in the heating oil biz for quite a while. We saw the smartphone reinventing just about every other industry, and we wanted to make buying discount heating oil just as easy as ordering dish detergent on Amazon. So, we set about reinventing the local heating oil company.

So here's what we offer. Our bedazzled website and smartphone app provide the convenience of managing your heating oil deliveries from the device of your choice wherever and whenever you want (our customers literally order at 3:30 am). The same technology makes it easy for you and it also lowers our costs, so we can offer a super low price for home heating oil (because who wants to pay more than they need to for heating oil). We also invested in our own fleet of bright orange heating oil delivery trucks, because we want to be responsible for making our own speedy heating oil deliveries. And most importantly, while we are really proud of our technology and heating oil delivery trucks, we are also a uniquely human company with a team of awesome people from Maine and New Hampshire who are psyched to be making it easier for home heating oil customers. So even if you choose to never talk to us, rest assured that we're behind the scenes making sure your heating oil gets to you when you need it. Call Heatable’s “World Headquarters” if ever want to chat (sometimes we get lonely with the App doing all the work). We're super excited about Heatable, and hope you will be too.
