Budget Plan Details.

Glider Oil helps customers manage their heating oil and propane expenses with a budget plan. We estimate your fuel expenses for the year ahead based on the number of gallons you used the previous year and the new cap price and then divide the total into 12 monthly payments. We also provide cap pricing to ensure your per-gallon price will never exceed our price cap.

If you wind up overpaying, you can apply the balance to next year’s budget plan or take your balance as a refund. If your payment amount is too low, we will notify you in February or March and increase your monthly payment amount. Payments begin in July and end in June of the following year.
