Does Maritime have Price Protection Fuel Plans?
Yes, we have the most Comprehensive Price Protection Plans in the area. We offer our Preferred CAP & Budget CAP Plans which gives you price protection if the market should rise (cap price—most you’ll ever pay) and downside protection. If the market falls your price goes down too. So, you have protection both on the upside and downside. Our Pre-Buy Plan allows you to lock in at a fixed price. So, not matter what happens with the market you’ll know what you’ll be paying. Please see all the benefits listed under Plans.

We use a degree day delivery system to calculate when you are due for a delivery which takes into effect temperature and your usage (k-factor=rate of burn). A degree day is a unit of measure for how cold it has been over a 24 hour period.
What if the price of oil goes down?
On the Preferred CAP and Budget CAP Plans you pay the lower price, either the delivered cash price (2 cent discount off of cash) or the cap price.
