After two years of rapid growth across Connecticut, FEWLR is proud to announce the expansion of its home heating oil delivery services to select areas of Rhode Island. Homeowners searching for heating oil prices in communities including Albion, Barrington, Cumberland, Lincoln and Woonsocket, along with surrounding areas, can now access FEWLR’s live auction platform to get the best price on home heating oil fast and without the hassle. And with more communities coming soon, FEWLR’s footprint across the region continues to grow.
It all started in Tolland, CT, where our family-owned company launched in late 2023. What began as a local solution to a frustratingly outdated process quickly spread across Connecticut as homeowners discovered a better, more affordable way to order home heating oil at a lower price. Now, we’re bringing that same experience to our neighbors in Rhode Island.
Current FEWLR users may have already explained the benefits of this app to their friends and family members in RI. If you are new to FEWLR as a homeowner or an oil supplier, keep reading for a quick overview of what to expect.
What is FEWLR?
FEWLR is a free app that is available on the App Store and Google Play. Currently, FEWLR is the only major live auction platform for home heating oil in Connecticut and Rhode Island (with more expansion in the future). Rather than spending time researching heating oil prices online or calling around to different oil companies, FEWLR handles it for you with a simple reverse auction experience built right into the app. Once you press the button to submit your oil delivery request, local oil suppliers compete for your order in real time. You watch the price drop, and your tank gets filled that week.
How do I get oil using FEWLR?
Whether you know that it’s time for a refill or want to set up FEWLR in preparation for future oil deliveries, you won’t believe how easy it is to get oil using our app! Simply download the app, open it up and create your account. After submitting some basic information like your name, address and oil tank size, just press the “Get Fewl’d” button on the FEWLR app to order the next oil delivery for your Connecticut or Rhode Island home.
How do homeowners and oil suppliers benefit from using FEWLR?
As discussed in our recent interview with Renee Dinino on Hello Connecticut, we developed the FEWLR app to alleviate challenges with oil shopping and delivery. The app also increases transparency into oil deliveries and provides a streamlined process for homeowners and oil suppliers. In short, we saw common issues faced by both parties and wanted to develop a better solution for everyone.
