Stamford Home Oil

Proudly serving your local area of Stamford, Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan and Norwalk.

The story of Stamford Home Oil starts in the early 1960s

On snow days, 10-year-old Danny Possidento drove around with his father Dominick, who delivered home heating oil for Peoples Oil, running meter tickets to the mailbox.  In 1979, at the age of 18, Danny joined his father going to work for Petro Oil as a driver and soon decided that this was the business he wanted to be in. Four years later, after also getting his heating & cooling license, he started his own company.  “I always liked the interaction with people, and the ability to build long-lasting relationships with my customers. They could count on me, and in turn I could count on them. Its a win-win.” says Danny.  Over the next four decades, Danny got married, started a family, and continued to grow his business by expanding into commercial and industrial oil delivery. Today, Connecticut Bulk Transport trailers are a common sight throughout Connecticut and New York, delivering petroleum products to businesses, industries, and depots.  However, residential heating oil delivery remains his passion, and its truly a family business. Dannys wife Pam is the bookkeeper (and also keeps everyone in line). Danns oldest son Joe manages the commercial transport, and his middle son Vinny oversees residential service delivery. Not surprisingly, work boots, gloves and industrial workwear are at the top of everyones holiday list.

A Staple in the Fairfield, Connecticut area

Today Stamford Home Oil is a staple in the local marketplace and stays true to its commitment to exceptional customer service and fair pricing. While many companies try to convince homeowners to lock in to long-term fixed rate contracts, Stamfords prices follow the market so customers can enjoy savings when prices are down, rather than pay a premium every day in anticipation of a future increase. On the other end of the spectrum, they do not try to compete penny for penny with “discounted” Internet oil delivery companies. “Sure, at any given time you may save a few cents if you have that time to call around, but try to get those companies to do a timely delivery when winter is at its worst”, Danny comments.   As for the future, Danny, Pam and family continue to build Stamford Home Oil one good customer relationship at a time'. Danny adds “Most of our growth comes through referrals to family, friends and new neighbors. Its very flattering to have our customers feel that comfortable, and it reminds us that, even when things are going crazy, we must be doing something right.”

Why Choose Stamford Home Oil

• Unlike large, multi-service 'energy' companies who claim to be experts in everything from heating and air conditioning to generators, pool heaters and clogged drains, Stamford Home Oil is completely focused on heating oil and service. Without so many diversions of trying to be a jack-of-all-trades, Stamford Home Oil focuses on the things that matter most in a fuel company: keeping your family warm and providing you with the personal attention and peace of mind you deserve as a customer.
• Stamford Home Oil proudly serves your local area of Stamford, Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan and Norwalk so that we can deliver prompt, outstanding service to our friends and neighbors while keeping prices fair by controlling the cost of delivery.

Stamford Home Oil aspires to be that friend and neighbor you can always count on to be there when you need us.

Automatic Delivery – our Most Popular Option

In order to provide our customers with the best service, convenience, and peace of mind, Stamford Home Oils most popular delivery option is to have your heating oil delivered automatically and charged to your account. We use a computerized degree-day system based on the outside temperature and your past usage to accurately predict when you need fuel to keep your home heated without interruption. With this highly-efficient system, you never have to worry about running out of heating oil, monitoring your oil tank gauge, or having to make extra phone calls to schedule deliveries.  Of course, should you choose to phone in your oil delivery requests with per-delivery billing (cash or check upon delivery), we would be happy to accommodate you, but please be aware that these deliveries require 48-hours notice, and same day deliveries are subject to a surcharge.

Fixed Price? 

Many oil-heat dealers press their customers to purchase a fixed-price contract, usually for a year, with your commitment to purchase your heating oil only from them during that time. Breaking that contract typically incurs a termination fee which can be in the hundreds of dollars. Rates in these contracts anticipate future rises in price, so you are actually paying all along for price increases that may not actually occur.  At Stamford Home Oil, we dont believe in fixed-price contracts because you shouldnt have to speculate on future oil prices and miss out on savings when prices are low. So our pricing follows the market, is quotable daily and always fair, and comes with the same commitment to service and satisfaction that is our enduring reputation.
