More About Us
Each spring, the MHFBC negotiates discounted prices for fuel oil, propane, kerosene, and also service contracts for the upcoming season. Registered users must reapply for annual membership each summer, in order to qualify for the MHFBC pricing. Registered users will pay the annual non-refundable membership fee when the signup period opens. They then separately enter into a contract directly with the supplier for fuel and other products and services. For 2025-26, the annual non-refundable membership fee is $15 per supplier.
The MHFBC is administered by a small group of unpaid volunteers, who have no connection to the industry, nor to any heating fuel company. A paid part-time contractor(s) responds to emails and telephone inquiries, and performs other administrative tasks. Members are invited to volunteer for these administrative tasks, which are necessary to keep the Buyers Community running.
Online registration is available at any time through this website. Creating an account ensures you will be sent ongoing information about the signup periods, and for the pricing offered each year. Once the new season’s prices and application period have been negotiated, they are posted on our site’s Prices page.
The MHFBC has a Facebook group, which is open to all. We encourage comments and posts related to heating and energy conservation issues. Please also read our Q&A page before joining the MHFBC, or asking questions of our volunteers.
