Description of Work: I ran out of oil in February as we have auto fill, they came out and brought enough oil until the AM of the next day. We had to call them to remind them that we need oil. Also, they billed us and we had to call them to remind them it was their fault (credit the amount). Until the large merger they were great.

Description of Work: I've been a customer of SMO for over 30 years - I purchase oil on a scheduled delivery basis and have a furnace and air conditioning yearly inspection and maintenance contract with them. They have always been competitive on the oil price and I am always happy with the service on my HVAC system. I almost never purchase maintenance or additional warranty contracts, but the yearly inspection and the occasional repairs needed on my system have always outpaced the cost of the contracts - so in the case of SMO I have certainly received good value for the additional cost - I'm actually waiting for a AC repair technician as I write this and he is on the way after a morning call re my AC pushing hot air. Can't stress enough how having them quickly respond means to a family when it comes to heat and AC.

Description of Work: Installed a buried 500 gallon propane tank and connected it to both house infrastructure and a whole house generator. SMO was both cooperative and professional and I was willing to pay a bit more as they enjoy an excellent reputation in the community. My POC was Mike Hoffman and I would unhesitatingly recommend both he and SMO as a vendor.

Description of Work: SMO cleaned the AC blower (unscheduled); it was discharging soot when it obviously shouldn't have been doing that (it's summer, so the furnace wasn't running). The technician arrived precisely on time, spent more time than he expected to spend (which was good for us), and fixed the problem. The job was fully covered under the maintenance plan. Great job.
