 + -1 moreDon’t waste your time and money with this company. Their emergencies services did absolutely nothing for 15 hours so I had to pay out of pocket to a more reputable company. It’s pathetic that even with our annual service agreement they attempt to charge us for their shortcomings. Avoid this company’s oil service and their boiler service at all cost! They will not perform diligent work and go out their way to be responsible for their short comings. Very unethical. They also have some of the worst service techs in town.

 + 0 moreUsed one season and so far so good - had no problems past winter ( though wasn't the worst winter). Had prompt service; automated schedule that they figured out; they addressed phone questions promptly and professionally. Not the cheapest - but definitely have learned you get what you pay for (for example - I recommend avoiding Thrifty!)

 + 0 moreHave been a Corbin Fuel customer for over 30+ years and they continue to impress with their customer service and product offerings. Recently just had our HVAC upgraded and the staff at Corbin Fuel walked us through the entire process and never once pressured us into anything and gave us honest information when we were choosing a system. Highly recommend for all your heating and cooling needs. A locally operated family owned business that treats their customers right.

Description of Work: Oil Delivery. Absolutely no urgency to deliver oil despite that fact that I was close to empty when the March 13-15 snowstorm hit. In mid Feb, I was due an auto oil delivery. Received phone call to alert me. Said if they had to make special trip to service me, that I could wait another week. Said would see me following week. I did not notice till March 12th (Sunday) that never received oil. Called early morning March 13th (Monday around 8 am). Despite informing them of their negligence and pleading, told it may be several days before getting oil. Call me Thursday (March 16th) to tell me would not make oil delivery due to my driveway not being plowed or driven upon. It wasn't plowed because there was only 2-1/2" of snow cover. There was a coat of ice on top, but my driveway is fairly level, at least the section where they could have used their 150' hose to reach my fill cap if they wanted to. I called on Friday (March 17th) to see if they would attempt another delivery over the weekend (temps were to warm up significantly), and was told they "may make another attempt" on Monday! I am just about on fumes, by now! During this conversation, I asked what the current price of oil was. As it seemed high to me, I called Carroll, just for price comparison purposes. Carroll's normal price that day was 25 cents less per gallon than Corbin, plus they offered 1st time fill up "new" customers another 30 cents off per gallon. Carroll was even nice enough to caution me to see if I was going to be penalized by Corbin for breaking the cap (set upper limit on oil price). I called back Corbin and talked to Austin. I went over my situation, to which he responded with one excuse after another... when you come off auto delivery, the manual delivery can get lost (for 3+/- weeks?), they had a lot of customers call them that Monday (March 13th)- like my situation did not take precedence, my driveway was not plowed and was ice, to it was costing them money every time they come out to "attempt" delivery. I then told him about Carroll's pricing to which he started bashing Carroll for using the "sucker" prices to entice customers in and make it up in succeeding years... which they all do. This was not news to me, and i was going to stay with Corbin, until the man-child said that Corbin had bent over backwards to please me... yeah, by letting me run out of oil! I then asked how much money would be refunded to me on my Annual Burner Policy, if I left Corbin. My policy renewed at in November 2016, and since that time, absolutely no work (not even the annual check-up and cleaning) had been performed. At first, I was told nothing would be refunded. Then in response to asking who I could talk to about it, was placed on hold, and then told $35. When I responded in amazement, I was told that Corbin did me a huge favor by giving me a $70 break on there otherwise $299.00 price for the policy. I paid $229 (in advance!!!). I then asked Austin, who came up with the $35. He said Mark. When I asked for Mark's title, he responded that Corbin was a small family owned company, that they have no titles. I then asked him for Mark's last name. Once again I was told that Corbin is a small family owned company, they have no last names. I decided at this time it was a waste of time dealing with him and wished him a good day. He then asked me if I wanted to close my account... to which I said NO! I waited 5 minutes and called Corbin back on another number. A young lady answered. I briefly explained the situation to her, to which she informed me that she could not help me because Mark unilaterally closed my account. When I asked to speak to the President (whom I found out was Mark), I was informed that he wasn't in (yet he was there for Austin?). I asked if she would have Mark call me back. to which she told me she "might" see him next week. Today is March 30, 2017 and I have still not heard back from the company. Meanwhile, Carroll delivered oil to my house THE NEXT DAY (Saturday)!!! Two years ago I thought they were the best... but like Austin said this was a "sucker" move to entice me in. This company does not deserve to be in business!!!

 + -1 moreIn a matter of a few days, I was embraced as a new customer, and needed propane was delivered. Attempts to obtain service from another discount provider proved futile, with 16 days lapsing from my fill request and never showed. Corbin was very professional, supportive, local and fast. Competitive prices too. I think I've found my long-term provider.

 + 1 moreThese guys are great. After another local oil company let our tank run dry for the third time, I called Corbin and they responded immediately. John Hawkins did a good job of laying our service plan options and got an oil delivery scheduled immediately. When the burner wouldn't start, they dispatched a well qualified technician (with 24 years of experience at Corbin) who located an corrected an intermittent relay problem. All of this happened on Christmas Eve. I have used other companies in the area over the past 30 years and none have come close to what we saw in the first 24 hours of our business relationship with Corbin.

 + -1 moreI purchased a fuel delivery plan, and an annual service contract with Corbin. For the fuel delivery, they have a very accurate way of estimating oil levels, and have never let my level even hit 1/4 of the tank. For service, they have come to my house twice, most recently tonight, to perform repairs to my 30 yr old furnace. Being able (and willing) to service a unit this old is remarkable. The cost of the service plan pays for itself with the semi-annual cleanings alone, not to mention the quick service as needed. I called today at 7pm with a concern over noises that the furnace was making. There was someone here by 8pm, a Sunday night, and he fixed the problem. He was patient, and did not leave until things were in working order. I am very happy with their fast, effective and friendly service. They have my business.

 + -1 moreThe main water valve for the furnace failed resulting in a gushing stream of water. I am on a well and was able to turn the water off; but was left without water. The technician arrived in a timely manner and replaced the valve. What I really appreciated was that the technician politely answered my many questions about the operation and care of my furnace. I have used other oil services in the past; but Corbin Fuel has provided the most efficient, professional, and best value in service I have seen. I have recommended this company to several of my friends.

 + 0 moreMy late father used Corbin for many years and had an annual maintenance contract with them. When I was preparing the house for sale, they offered me a one time cleaning /service visit, and made sure to send the person who had been taking care of the system for years. Ed not only did the cleaning and service, but walked my brother through the house and patiently explained the various thermostats and the rooms they controlled (it gets complicated with 4- zone heating/cooling). It is wonderful to have service performed by someone who is familiar with a house's system. I would recommend Corbin as an excellent provider of fuel and HVAC system service.

 + -1 moreI scheduled an annual tune-up with Corbin for the morning of October 22nd, 2010. This appointment was made approximately 3-weeks in advance and I spoke with an employee named Brian who took all of my information. After they did not show up at the scheduled time I called to check on the status and they had no record of my appointment and said they did not perform tune-ups for customers that did not have an account with them. I explained that I was not told this when I made the appointment and they were relatively unapologetic about inconveniencing me. I am a new homeowner and had been seriously considering Corbin to be my oil provider since they were local to my area. However, I found them to be completely unprofessional and I will be happily employing one of their competitors to meet by heating needs.
