What Are Budget and Price Protection Plans?
Heating oil prices can be unpredictable, but your home heating budget doesn’t have to be.
Rinaldi Energy offers Price Protection Plans to help customers plan ahead, protect against market changes, and choose a payment option that works best for their household. Whether you prefer predictable monthly payments, locking in gallons ahead of time, or having protection if prices rise, we have options designed to give you peace of mind throughout the heating season.

Types of Price Protection
There are two types of Price Protection:
1: Capped Price (Most Popular)
A capped price per gallon (or max price) means this is the most you would ever be billed for a delivery during your enrollment, regardless if market prices are higher. Capped price plans also come with downside protection, which means if market prices go below your capped price, you get the lower rate!
2: Fixed Price
A fixed price is exactly what it sounds like, a fixed or set rate for the heating season that never fluctuates. Think of this as just paying your average price per gallon for the season.
Types of Payment Options
There are two flexible payment options:
1: Monthly Budget Plan
Split up your annual heating costs into smaller monthly payments. This helps you plan and budget accordingly and avoid high heating bills back to back in the winter months.
2: Pre-Buy Options
Pre-buy your heating fuel upfront. We offer the ability to split this into 1, 2, or 3 payments and receive a lower price per gallon.
