Our Pricing and Payment Plans

We’re all about options to fit your needs.

Just as all of our customers have different home heating needs, you each have different payment and budget needs as well. Wilcox Energy offers a range of price protection and payment plans to help fit your home heating costs into your family’s financial plans.

Budget Plans

Capped Price Budget Plan

With our Capped Price Budget Plan you can rest assured knowing the amount you will pay each month. We take an estimate of your annual usage based on the size of your house or your delivery history and divide it into equal monthly payments. Plus, it protects you against rising prices but will adjust down if the market price drops. What’s more, you’ll even receive 3% annual interest for any credit balance you carry.

Highlights:

  • 12-month program.
  • Begins July 1st.
  • Pay the same amount each month.
  • Your service contract payments may be included in your budget payments.
  • Enjoy automatic delivery all year long.
  • Earn 3% annual interest for credit balances
  • Required a non-refundable hedging fee

*Payments are due by the tenth of each month. Customers must be on automatic delivery to be eligible for this program.

What is a hedging fee?

When we offer our customers the protection of a capped price, we also charge what is known as a hedging fee.  Many of you have asked, “What is a hedging fee, and why do I have to pay it?”

To offer you a capped price, we have to pay a premium, much like insurance, in order to protect you if the market rises or if the market drops, allowing your price to never go above the capped price, but to go lower if the market does.  The hedging fee is our cost to ensure the future maximum price while retaining the opportunity to pay a lower price should the market price drop.  We get that protection through a combination of Futures and Options Contracts, bought on the commodities market. Unfortunately, there is a cost for this service, and our hedging fees are applied to these charges.  The hedging fee we require for the capped price program passes only a portion of these costs to you.

Budget Retail Plan
