I use Arlex Oil to deliver my heating oil because the woman I bought the house from used them. They've done a good job at delivering the oil on a regular basis, and working with me when I don't need it so regularly. They've also inspected and cleaned my boiler a number of times and always do a good job at that.

They've been there for me for many years and I'll continue to be a customer with service like that!
Description of Work: I moved into my house in 1973 and began using their furnace service and fuel oil fillings. They inspect my furnace as needed and I can count on them. Their prices have always been reasonable. When I have ever had problems with my furnace they provide prompt and courteous service.

We spent $2500 on that service because we needed to replace the hot water tank. That service went very well overall. They were very punctual and when we called with a problem they had somebody out the same day. When they determined that there was a leak they were able to get a replacement tank and somebody to install it within just a few days. The workman and dispatch man was intelligent, thoughtful, and competent people. They tend to be a little bit pricey, but it is worth it.
Description of Work: Arlex Oil Corporation sold and installed a new hot water heater for us on Monday the 6th of June. They also do the maintenance on our heating system.

Everything was done professionally and the work went smoothly.
Description of Work: Arlex removed our old (1950's) boiler, which involved an asbestos removal company that they contracted with. They then furnished and installed a new boiler. They also have been our heating oil supplier since 2008.

I called them that morning, they were over that afternoon to review the situation, and they came by the next day to complete the job.
Description of Work: I was in need of more oil (I had moved in a few months ago) and the heating system need to be primed and restarted. The Arlex staff were professional, efficient, and helpful. They offered extensive advice on work to be done, what to shop for to upgrade my system and how to save money.

John from Arlex responded very quickly and was extremely flexible about arranging a time to access the equipment. This was service at its best. We've signed up with Arlex to provide our oil service now that we're in the house. I would certainly recommend them.

The budget plan is excellent. Arlex does not force you to accept a set price for the season. Instead they estimate your expected costs for the season and work out a payment to that will cover the expected costs. In January, they adjust the budget to match increases or decreases in the projected cost. Any excess balance left in your account at the end of the season is carried into the next season. They are responsive to phone calls and generally very friendly.
Description of Work: We use Arlex as our oil supplier. They set us up on a budget plan and deliver our oil regularly. They also maintain our boiler.

Went well. They were responsive and came out quickly. Unfortunately the part wasn't covered by our service plan. They had the part on the truck and everything was up and running in under 30 minutes.
Description of Work: We use Arlex for our regular oil service and have a maintenance plan with them. We've used them in our home and in a house we rented for over two years. Our furnace stopped working one morning. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it.

Bob was very helpful: he explained how to use and maintain a steam boiler, which I'd never used before. He was very personable, talkative, and helpful. He also brought to our attention the fact that our 50-year-old oil tank was oozing from the underneath, and needed to be replaced. In his words, "I'm not trying to scare you, but I kind-of am," meaning he felt that he wasn't trying to scare us into unnecessary replacement, but he was trying to make us aware of what he considered to be a situation requiring urgent attention. Only you can judge what to make of that, but it made sense to me.
Description of Work: Clean and service an old (70+ year-old) steam/oil boiler. Show me how to use and maintain it.

Arlex Oil has been great. They are timely and always responsive. The price varies on how much oil I get at that time, so I am not sure of the price I pay. They are excellent for me and I do know they are reasonable.
Description of Work: Arlex Oil delivers the oil for my furnace as I need it. I also use them for the annual check up of my furnace. My house is 3200 square feet.

I am satisfied with their service. I did have some problems with the burner and the oil tank had a leak, but they did finally find them and fix the problems. They do respond quickly to my calls and make sure everything is working properly.

I like this company. They're straightforward and seem very honest. They have two types of oil contracts (a locked in price of $2.84 per gallon this year), or a fluctuating price which depends on the oil market. They deliver in a timely but not excessive way.

MY OPINION IS THAT WE GOT A GOOD VALUE AND GOOD SERVICE. THEIR PRICE WAS 5200 DOLLARS. I THINK IT WAS A GOOD PRICE. THAT IS AS BEST AS I CAN TELL. THE QUALITY IS GOOD FOR THE PRICE. WE GOT ONE COMPETITIVE QUOTE. ALREX WAS 1500 DOLLARS LOWER.
Description of Work: THEY REMOVED AN EXISTING BOILER AND INSTALLED A NEW BOILER FOR HOME HEATING PURPOSES. THEY RECONNECTED THE BOILER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM.

HAD THEM OUT TWICE, ONCE FOR A GENERAL CHECK OF MY SYSTEM. THEY CAME PROMPTLY AS PROMISED AND DID A VERY THOROUGH SYSTEM CHECK FOR ME. NEXT I CALLED THEM FOR NO HEAT AND THEY ARRIVED WITHIN 20 MINUTES. A WIRE HAD COME OUT OF A WIRE NUT AFTER THEIR FIRST VISIT. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE PROBLEM AND THEN CHECKED EVERY CONNECTION TO MAKE SURE NO MORE WERE LOOSE. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE MAN'S KNOWLEDGE AND THOROUGHNESS. NO CHARGE FOR EITHER VISIT UNDER SERVICE CONTRACT, WHICH STARTS FREE FOR NEW CUSTOMERS.
Description of Work: CHOSE THEM FOR OIL DELIVERY & SERVICE.
