Heating Oil Price Protection Budget Plan

Save More with Lake Region Energy - Your Trusted Oil Delivery Service

As we are sure you have noticed, fuel prices can change quickly. Everyone, including us at Lke Region Energy, is unsure of what fuel prices will look like next winter.

However, we are excited to share our Price Protection Budget Plan. This plan is tailored to give you control over your fuel costs, despite price fluctuations, by splitting your costs into predictable, manageable payments.

Our Solution for You

Lake Region Energy offers this Price Protection Budget Plan to help you alleviate fuel costs and avoid market price spikes next winter.

This plan gives you the advantage of stable fuel costs with a price cap and guarantees that if the price drops below that cap, you will get the lower price on the day of delivery.

For even greater value, we have included our service plan as part of your monthly payment, which means you will never have to worry about unexpected service costs. Our new service plan goes above and beyond, covering every part of your heating system.
