Vermont prices range from $3.19 to $3.95 per gallon. The Burlington metro area tends to be most competitive, while rural areas may see higher delivery costs.
How can I reduce my heating oil costs in Vermont?
Compare dealers on OilOutpost, pre-buy in summer, consider a budget plan that spreads payments over 12 months, and supplement with a wood or pellet stove if possible.
Does Vermont offer heating assistance?
Yes, Vermont's LIHEAP program and the Vermont Fuel Assistance Program help income-eligible households with heating costs. Contact your local community action agency for details.
