SmartPay Plan: A Smart Idea this Year

You can rely on Needham when heating oil prices spike

Most of us are well aware that heating oil, gasoline, and many other products derived from crude oil are experiencing price spikes on the global market. Increased fuel prices are troublesome for everyone, but with Needham, you need not stress about potential fuel run-outs and delays. You may also be interested in our budget plan, which we call SmartPay, by spreading out your payments over 12 months to make sure you know what to expect.

Below, we’ll discuss how Needham Complete can help you further cope with unexpected market fluctuations. We’re all in this together!

What’s behind fuel price increases?

When Russia invaded Ukraine, crude oil prices began to soar to over $100 per barrel for the first time in nearly a decade. This global strife just compounds already-existing supply shortages and inflation – with heating oil providers and customers seeing a big impact on prices. These price spikes hurt us all since fuel providers actually end up losing out when customers make cutbacks. That’s why we want to make it easier for you to plan your budget – with no hidden costs.

The smart way to handle fuel payments

Tired of price spikes or big winter fuel payments? You can take advantage of our SmartPay Plan, which ensures that your payments will remain manageable throughout the year. Other benefits include:

• No surprises: With this plan, you’ll have one set payment each month —and there is no cost to enroll.
• Trusted, tried, and true: Many of our customers in Middlesex County and Norfolk County, MA have already enrolled in this program and find it very helpful when managing their budget.
• Efficient: You don’t use more heating oil with SmartPay.
• Straightforward: You don’t pay more per gallon. You only pay for the fuel you receive, and there’s no finance charge.
• Fair and flexible: If your actual fuel costs are a little higher or lower than we estimated, we will make adjustments as necessary during the course of the heating season.

At the end of the program year, we will settle your account. Any credit balances can be applied to the next SmartPay year—or you may request a refund. Any debit balances must be paid prior to beginning a new SmartPay season.

Easy autopay – never miss a payment

The easiest way for you to handle payment and avoid potential service disruption is to allow us to automatically charge a credit card account on file for your SmartPay budget amount. We accept Mastercard, Visa, and Discover.
