Pre-Payment Plans (Click here for additional PrePayment Information)
We offer pre-payment plans April-August that allow customers to pre-pay in the summer to offset the cost of fuel during the winter months. Fuel prices fluctuate everyday so we don't want to estimate you in at a higher set price per gallon but we can allow you to decide (or we can provide you with an estimate like $225/month) how much you want to pay ahead each month. Then we will credit your account like a savings account. Click here to print out the prepayment voucher. Please email us at smithandsonsfuel@gmail.com for vouchers that can be sent in with your payments.
Budget Plans/Capped/Fixed Pricing
At this time we do not offer budget plans, capped pricing or fixed pricing. We recommend that you create your own budget. Ask us for your last 2 years worth of account history, divide what you paid by 24, put that amount in a savings account monthly, move the money to your checking account when you are ready to order in the heating season. This way you earn interest and aren't stuck with additional finance fees. You could also put it on a credit card and get the bonus reward points each month. You could also mail a check to us for $200/month every month starting in May. If we are able to offer this in a way that would benefit our customers without costing them a lot extra we will, but so far what we've looked in to would be too costly to customers.
