I need to find us a new heating oil company. As I've mentioned before, Petro screwed us royally a few months ago. Now it's time for a new contract, and I won't go with them again. Petro sucks

Our furnace is new and guaranteed for life - our life, that is. Does Sears deliver heating oil? I'd rather not do business with them if I can help it. Sears has screwed me over several times in the past (car repairs, credit card, etc.), so I kind of hate them. They almost killed me, no lie! :D
Huh??? We've had nothing but great service from them. My dad and I use to work for them, and we still shop there and buy their Kenmore and Craftsman lines.
Sears screwed us royally on our credit card. They were charging us 24% or 29%.
As for nearly killing me, it's a long story. I brought my car in for brake work. They left air in the system, so on my way home I discovered that I had virtually NO brakes.
Rather than offering me a tow so I could come back safely to have the air purged, they told me to drive back in a day or two later. When I picked up my car in the parking lot, supposedly fixed, the muffler had been detatched and was literally lying on the ground. I told them that I certainly hadn't brought the car IN that way, and they accused me of trying to "steal" a free repair. They wired the muffler to the undercarriage without connecting it.
Try Carter Brothers Oil out of Burriville. My friend's boyfriend is one of the Carter boys, and they are pretty good price wise and all.
Petro can still do your maintenance if you want them to. Just because you don't have a contract with them shouldn't be a problem since you have the warranty.
THANK YOU! That helps a lot. I'll look over the terms and see what I can figure out.
I just want a company that has a decent price, a budget plan so we don't get killed in winter when oil prices go up, and that won't screw us over the way that Petro did.
Teri wants to stick with Petro because it's less of a hassle, but I just don't trust them any more. Secretly taking us off the budget plan and then hitting us with a $1000-plus bill was absolutely unforgivable!
