Our Fuel Delivery Services

Three ways to keep the tank full

Every SmithCo customer gets the same thing: a delivery driver who knows your street, a dispatcher who answers the phone, and a tank that never runs dry on a Sunday morning in January. Choose the delivery option that fits how you want to manage your fuel, or let us handle it for you with automatic delivery.

All three options come with the same fair pricing, the same fleet of fifteen trucks, and the same forty years of South County experience. No call centers. No surprise fees. No drivers who have never been to Wakefield before.

Why SmithCo

A delivery company you can call by name

The regional fuel chains run on dispatch software and call centers. We run on fifteen trucks driven by people who live in Wakefield, Narragansett, and South Kingstown. When you call SmithCo, the person on the other end has probably been on your street this week.

Stephen Smith started this company in 1985 with one used truck. Forty years later, we serve roughly three thousand homes across South County under RI Fuel Oil Dealer License #333. Family-owned then. Family-owned now.

“

For the past 27 years, I have used SmithCo Oil to deliver oil while also providing a service contract for the burner. I could not be more satisfied with the timeliness of their deliveries or the expertise of their maintenance technicians.

Common Questions

Heating oil delivery, answered

How does automatic oil delivery work?
We track your historical fuel usage and pair it with current weather data to calculate when your tank will hit roughly one-quarter full. A delivery is dispatched before that point, so the tank stays comfortably full all winter. You do not check a gauge, place an order, or worry about running out.
Can I switch to SmithCo if I already have a heating oil supplier?
Yes, and most of our new customers do exactly that. Switching takes one phone call. We do not require contracts, and there are no switching fees on our end. Many South County families have been with us for twenty or thirty years after one bad experience with a regional chain.
What if I run out of oil after hours?
Our 24/7 emergency line is answered by a real person, not a recording. If you are out of fuel or your heat has stopped, a truck and technician can be dispatched the same night. Service plan customers move to the front of the queue.
How much does heating oil cost in South County?
Heating oil prices change daily based on wholesale market conditions, so we publish current rates rather than quote a fixed number. Call (401) 789-2520 for today’s price per gallon, or ask about our budget payment plan if you want a predictable monthly bill instead of paying at delivery.
Do you deliver to homes new to oil heat?
Yes. Many of our newer customers recently moved to South County from natural gas regions and are heating with oil for the first time. We walk you through how delivery works, how to read your tank, and what to expect each season. No question is too basic.
