On November 18, 1972, John & Sonja Babb opened the doors to the first J&S Oil Service Station. John Babb was at the pumps waiting when the first customer pulled in. He greeted his first customer with a big smile, asked how the customer was and how he could help him. As the tank was filling, he washed the windows and checked the oil. When he was finished, he sincerely thanked the customer for his business and asked him to please come back again. John knew that good customer service is the key to a successful business. His traditions continue today. Pull into any J&S Oil Xpress Stop Service Station & Convenience Store and see why people say that J&S Oil put the SERVICE back into service station. TODAY... Today, the next generation of the Babb family runs J&S Oil. John Babb Jr. and sister, Cassie Babb, are keeping to the high standards of service the company was founded on. J&S Oil has expanded to include eight Xpress Stop Service Stations & Convenience Stores, two Express Lube locations (with Auto Detailing), three Ultra Clean Car Washes, a Wholesale Fuels Division, which delivers quality fuels statewide, two Home Heating Delivery & Service Offices, specializing in oil heat, propane, air conditioning and plumbing, serving most of central Maine, from offices in Manchester and Winslow, and a two Self-Serve Pet Washes! The company is now family and employee owned. Whenever you walk into one of our retail locations, see one of our drivers on the road or speak to any of our people on the phone, you are dealing with one of the owners. It makes a big difference in the way we do business.

To buy heating oil for your house, contact local heating oil companies to compare prices and place an order once you decide on a supplier. The company will have to deliver your heating oil in a truck designed to carry and dispense heating oil safely. Call and order your heating oil early enough to have your oil delivered before you need to start using it for home heating.
On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.
You save money on heating oil in a few ways:
Make sure your home is well insulated and sealed against drafts and heat leakage.
Use a thermostat that’s working properly and calibrated accurately.
Increase energy efficiency by insulating your basement and attic.
Turn down your thermostat a few degrees.
Program your thermostat to lower the heat when you’re not home.
Order heating oil during the off-season when prices are likely to be lower.
Summer months tend to be when heating oil prices are lowest because of decreased demand. Buying heating oil during the off-season also prepares you for when the weather gets cold, and you need to start using the oil to heat your home. Although heating oil prices will fluctuate, it’s best to avoid purchasing between September and April, as that's the peak season for heating oil demand.
Overall, heating your home with an oil furnace tends to be less expensive than heating your home with an electric heating system. Oil heating systems stay warm for longer periods of time without drawing a constant electrical current to maintain a temperature. Plus, heating oil systems typically have a longer lifespan and lower price tag than their electrical counterparts, resulting in short- and long-term savings.
