Everything You Need to Know About Codfuel.com, WiFi Oil Tank Gauges (below) and More

If you’re new to home heating oil, or you’re just not satisfied with your current provider, then you’re at just the right place. In this article, we’re going to tell you all about our company and how we’ve been one of the leading platforms connecting consumers and Heating Oil providers together for almost 20 years now. After that, we’ll also continue with a few benefits of working with us to explain exactly how we’re doing things differently as opposed to some of our competitors. Without further ado, let’s get right to it.

What Is Codfuel?

Codfuel is your one-stop for the most convenient and safest heating oil services available today. We’ve been in business since 2001. We continue to evolve with the rapidly changing digital world by always staying up to date on our cutting edge technology.

Using Codfuel is astonishingly simple. All you need to do is visit our website and enter your zip code to see instant oil prices from local oil companies in your area. These companies are competing for your business everyday by offering low oil prices along with more discounts and promotions.

Codfuel has pioneered the oil price comparison industry and remains the only platform where consumers can freely shop for price or a specific company to order from. There are no secrets or “hidden” gems on Codfuel.com; we are a WYSIWYG platform (What you see is what you get). ALL oil prices are out in the open and they are always current. Prices are changed daily and up to the minute as the market changes. Our primary focus from the beginning was to design a simple to use platform where consumers can easily shop for oil prices and place a credit card order safely without the worry of using their card online. With Codfuel.com, we NEVER see your credit card information, nor does any of our providers that deliver your oil. That’s a BIG deal these days where credit card fraud is increasing everywhere. When you use different oil companies per year and you call in an order or even order on their individual websites, you are putting your credit card information at risk. We also accept Cash heating oil orders too.

So, now that you know a little bit more about our business, let’s talk a little about how we’re different from some of the other providers out there.

Complete Transparency

Codfuel believes in total transparency and we ensure that nothing is kept from the customer. The folks working with us are always aware of the name and information of the company that is going to provide their services. You’re free to look up the company’s rating on Codfuel.com, Google or any other platform. Codfuel.com provides reviews for each provider. These reviews are ONLY from real customers that ordered from those particular companies. Each review is tied to a specific order, this eliminates “fake” reviews that you see on other websites. We’ve taken this initiative to help our clients put their trust in our business. And, at the end of the day, that is what we’re aimed to achieve.

Client Satisfaction

Codfuel’s number one priority has always been to ensure customer satisfaction and it has stuck to this work ethic for the past 18 years. We’ve always been heavily committed to improving the experience of our clients by providing them the utmost level of convenience possible. Codfuel has served tens of thousands of happy customers and we’re positive that we’re going to be adding to this list for decades to come.

Safety Precautions

Often times when companies are charging customers and making transactions to service providers consequently, they end up sharing your credit card information or writing your card numbers down in the office for other employees or drivers to see. This can cause an incredible security risk as your sensitive information could potentially be stolen by anyone that has access to them.  Most oil company owners are highly honest and do their best to protect your information, but they cannot control all situations or employees. However, here at Codfuel, we do things a bit differently. All of our transactions are made using SSL-Encryption, moreover, your private credit card data is NOT stored on our servers. We also have secure,  PCI compliant servers to ensure the utmost amount of security even for your address information.

Tested and Sealed Meters

Just because we’re primarily focused on matching up clients with service providers, doesn’t mean we’ll blindly go with any Home Heating Oil company in your area. The vendors we select are all licensed and insured by their local government and consumer affairs department. In simple words, this means that the meters on every single truck have been tested and sealed to ensure that they are completely accurate. Every one of our customers can rest assured that they’re getting the proper amount of gallons they paid for. We go to extreme lengths to guarantee that you’ll never be shorted in terms of the quantity of oil and will continue to do so for a long, long time.

Accurate Fuel Oil Meters

These days, you might be seeing a lot of companies advertising Wi-Fi Oil Tank Monitors or LTE oil tank monitors. Sure, they do look highly convenient and come with some sweet features like monitoring your oil levels through a mobile app. At the same time, your information is held in a “Cloud” where oil companies and the makers of these monitors can track your usage and potentially share your information with other oil companies to potentially sell you oil.

 Ultrasonic oil tank monitors have their place. They would be a great tool to help prevent consumers from running out of oil if they would remove the tracking and design one specifically for homeowner use only. BE CAREFUL, as of this article, there is a tank monitor being marketed to the public, but they have tracking bult in and they are gearing up to launch oil company listings later on this year. Once you set up their monitor, they will have your address, cell phone and email to send their marketing message too. 

Basically, these devices were designed specifially to increase oil company profits. They were NOT designed with good intentions to help homeowners. This is done by logistically setting up your oil delivery to their convenience. We sold them briefly until the truth came out why the manufacturers were designing them. Unfortuntately, the customers best interest was not in mind.
 

IMPORTANT: WiFi oil tank monitors are NOT 100% accurate. Some of the top brands reported up to 95% and some specify in their product documentation NOT to rely on their monitor as it is NOT intended to be reliable or even available 100% of the time. This is important to note because your oil tank monitor may differ from your oil trucks meter receipt at the time of delivery. I tested one model in my own home and ran out of oil while it still read ¾ of a tank. That may have beem a fluke, but it did show me that that there is no substitute for sticking your own tank or simply read your tank gauge and or WiFi monitor and order in advance to prevent running out of oil.
 

When it comes to Codfuel, ALL oil trucks have their meters tested and sealed annually. These meters are the only recognized and endorsed metering devices in the heating oil industry. A trucks meter can measure accurately up to the one-tenth of a gallon.

WiFi Oil Tank Monitor - Keep Your Privacy

We recommend checking your own oil gauge or sticking your tank to check your oil level. This is the only way to protect your privacy from electronic tank gauge companies tracking your oil usage or when and who you are ordering from.

Now that you know the facts, stick with CODFUEL.com. We have been your peace of mind heating oil source since 2001.
