How our Group Buying Works!!

OTEA combines its members fuel requirements, and then negotiates a volume buy with a number of fuel dealers covering New Hampshire, most of Maine and Vermont and much of Massachusetts. (See map for detailed coverage ).

We then notify the members who have signed up for that round of bidding. You choose to accept the fuel company and prices or reject it. If you accept it, you then work with the fuel dealer as you would normally. You request a service contract if desired and pay the dealer directly for fuel, not OTEA. 

We have several bids annually. Usually the first bid is the cheapest and prices get higher as we get towards the heating season. If you miss the first deadline, it's not too late to join but prices may be higher.

The only DIFFERENCE is the price you pay!!

Add your fuel needs to our 7,700,000 gallons; Help us get even better prices for you and your neighbors!!

Some people think our program is “Too Good to Be True”. Check out our testimonials from existing members, some repeat members since 1999 good enough to provide their thoughts and email addresses to us and the public.

See our Territory Map

OTEA serves almost all of NH, most of Vermont, most of Maine and all of eastern Massachusetts (propane) and most of northern Massachusetts (Oil & Propane). Kerosene and/or blend is usually delivered wherever oil is delivered. Later this season we will provide a more precise map of areas served. (See map for detailed coverage ).

Our Dealers:

We have used Eastern Propane & Oil & Lavallee Oil since 2000, Irving Oil & Propane and Carroll County Oil since 2005. We have used other dealers as well in the past. We reserve the right to  add or subtract fuel dealers during the year depending on the price they bid though the chances are high we will at least use the dealers mentioned above.
