I went well, see above. Haven't gotten the bill for the annual cleansing so I can't comment on that.
Description of Work: Started new oil delivery contract. Oil was delivered within days of asking to top off tank. technician came to check out furnace/heating equipment as a new customer. //While there he did the annual service on my burner. He even requested that his boss let him stay after normal work hours to finish the job. He found and lubricated bearings on my fan motor that hadn't been lubricated for years. All in all, a good job, done at a time I picked, stayed late to finish. and was very pleasant and knowledgeable to talk to.

Excellent - on time, very professional, reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Replaced leaking valve between the furnace and the hot water tank. Explained that the piping originally installed when the house was built allows air bubbles to form which causes one of the pumps to overheat and fail.

I called and made an appt. for a representative to come out and give us an estimate on converting our home system from oil to natural gas. The representative came out, did what he had to do and left saying he would get back to us with the quote. A week went by and I emailed them requesting the quotation. I received no response. A week later I called and spoke with the person who was here and he said he would get it to me the following day. That was a few weeks ago. I never received anything. How good can they be if they're unresponsive to prospective customers?
Description of Work: No service was performed.

I called Macfarland Energy around 7:30 am on 3/11/13 hoping to have someone service my gas furnace. We woke up around 5:30 am that morning and the furnace wouldn't fire up and we smelled gas. I contacted the local gas company to report the gas leak. They responded and informed me that I needed an ignition switch for the furnace. The first company I called wouldn't be able to respond until the next day and stated a labor rate of $165 for the 1st hour and $145 each additional hour plus parts. They suggested I try to find someone who might be available sooner and to call back if I couldn't find anyone who could respond sooner. I called MacFarland and explained my situation. They had a serviceman available who could respond between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm on 3/11/13. They quoted a service rate of $125 per hour plus the cost of parts. They respnded by 2:00 pm as promised, checked my furnace and replaced the ignitor switch. The house now had heat and I was very happy I was able to get the furnace repaired that day. I did some research on Angie's list and decided to try a couple of the reccomended companies; MacFarland was available, prompt, reasonably priced and resolved the problem. I've been looking for a compamny to service the furnace on a regualr basis, now I have one.
Description of Work: They installed a new silicone nitride glow stick ignitor.

They are a not notch, completely honest company; which was not true with many oil companies. They post their price per gallon on their website at all times. I can now go to a government website in Massachusetts to compare prices and know they are giving us a very fair price. We have only had good things come from them. In the spring they will come to service our furnace. Right now we are very happy with their service.
Description of Work: We switched oil companies. We’re a New England family with heat by oil. We had been dissatisfied with our former oil distributer and oil company. I used Angie’s List to find MacFarland Energy and then did some networking. As a result of talking with other people from Angie’s List I felt very comfortable switching to MacFarland Energy.

Their customer service has been very good. They are very responsive to request and ad hoc needs. They came right away when I needed them. I did use them with my previous house. I had a situation where my air conditioner went off and needed a part that was missing. They came right away. Some of the people have been very good. I had one time when an employee came who wasn’t so good, so they aren’t always 100%.
Description of Work: They deliver oil and clean my burner. They also repaired a part in a broken air conditioning unit. This last time they refilled two large oil tanks.

great experience - very impressed with their customer service and technician.
Description of Work: So I accidentally let my oil tank run dry and my account with another well-known oil company lapsed. Instead of calling them back (they were good at first then their prices and service went south thereafter) I logged onto Angies List and found MacFarlane and gave them a call. They immediately sent me an account application via e-mail and within 5 minutes my account was set up. They said I needed an inspection of my furnace and tank and there was a technician at my house in 1 hour. The tech also put 10 gallons of oil in my tank to get us back up and running because the house was getting cold. He said they'd be back to fill the tank within 24 hours. That was 1 hour ago and their oil truck just pulled up in front of our house and is filling it up. Talk about a great way to make a first impression with a brand new customer!

They finally installed gas on my street. We were already customers of MacFarlane Energy and decided to hire them to do the conversion. It did take a while to receive the initial quote. The crew arrived promptly every day and were professional and courteous. Jimmy (the foreman) explained things clearly and answered all questions I had. The crew did an excellent installation and cleaned the site pretty well on the last day. Our install was straight forward so no major problems were encountered. Everything looks neat and organized. It was a job well done and we are enjoying our gas heat. So far so great!

The folks at MacFarlane couldn't have been more professional and helpful with my furnace replacement. Their price was competitive, their install guys were fabulous, and they were very accommodating and helpful with applying for rebates and the MassSave Heat Loan Program. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for furnace work and/or oil deliveries
Description of Work: They diagnosed a cracked heat exchanger and recommended and then installed a replacement, including adding duct work and fixing shoddy workmanship from a previous company.

We have had Mac Farlane for over 40 years handling all of our oil heating needs including excellent 24/7 service 365 days of the year. When our a/c supplier was unreachable we were in a quandary as to who to call. When we realized that MacFarlane also sells and services A/C we were delighted. Now it is just one stop shopping for all of our heating/AC needs. They sent a wonderful service person who was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions much better than the original AC provider.
