Description of Work: We were Cubby oil customers for the first few years that we owned our home in Melrose. I'm not quite sure how we found them in the first place- at the time we were new to oil and had just moved here and were being overwhelmed by oil companies reaching out to us. Cubby was reliable. We were on auto delivery which worked really well for us, especially during some very brutal winters. Charlie, the owner, was very responsive to our questions. However, the price of oil was incredibly high - much higher than most other providers in the area. When we asked Charlie about this he would always say that it was because of the other services that they provide. However, we have since switched providers and we have auto delivery, the same maintenance services that we had with Cubby, and we pay $.40 average less per gallon- which really adds up given how much oil we use.

Response from Cubby Oil & Energy
Cubby Oil employs a team of full-time licensed and insured service professionals that work on a non-commission basis for our customers. Our price per gallon represents the level of service we provide and is comparable to other, larger full service companies. I believe and the number of customers we service supports the view that we deliver value in a number of ways - both easily recognized and somewhat more difficult to see. Our technicians only install the necessary parts to repair a system problem and provide advice based on the best interest of the customer. This fact can be lost since every broken system is running after a service visit, but our customers see better service pricing when compared to the lower cost oil companies. We will continue to hire the best employees possible and pay them accordingly as I think it is the right way to move forward. Thanks, Charles J. Uglietto President and Owner

Description of Work: I had used Cubby for oil services since the early 80's and they have always treated me well. I only had one issue with them, their oil prices seemed to be always higher than the competition, anywhere from 40 - 90 cents more per gallon. I refuse to go with rock bottom dealers and I don't mind paying a little more for quality service and dependability. But when the price went up over $4 ($4.39 to be exact) neighbors mentioned they paid $1 less. I called them up to cancel and they offered a discount right there (10 - 15%), why wasn't I given that the last 10 years? Also I have two burners and oil hot water serviced annually - don't they also make a good profit on that, in addition to keeping staff busy. Use them, they are very good, just watch prices very carefully, there are websites that track oil prices for your immediate area in addition to averages in the area

Description of Work: They provided the oil for our house all winter long! It was great and we never had any problem with running out of oil. Oil was delivered on time, and they never needed our help or bothered us. Plus, we like their eco-friendly oil which burns cleaner.

Description of Work: Obtained an estimate for a new heating system. Prompt, professional, gave great advice. I ended up going a different direction based on price in the end; 5 post-install fixes later, I think I should have gone with Cubby.
