BioHeat Price Protection Plans
Prepare for the heating season by enrolling in one of our several price protection programs. Let us guide you to a program tailored to you and your family.
Our Cap, Float, Pre-Buy or Fixed programs - with or without a budget plan - secure the fairest prices, coupled with the best service for heating your home.
**Please Note: When you commit to this program, Gault simultaneously purchases that Bioheat Heating Oil for you from our supplies - we are not able to break this agreement. This means that if the market conditions decrease, you do not get a lower price.
