Alex R. Tech 229, was an amazing technician with superior skills. He told me what his expert opinion was and now I'm planning for a replacement. I did not feel pushed or rushed, he cleaned my furnace and vents perfectly and told me I had some years for replacement and he was committed to making sure petro could save us some money. Amazing service and petro has a loyal customer. Thank Alex!

Petro was overwhelmed with calls so responses were from one to three days. It required three attempts, then we fixed the problem ourselves. Many attempts were necessary to even get through to them on the phone. Petro does not put antifreeze in the oil they deliver nor do they suggest that it be done by the homeowner.

I have had a service contract with them for over 30 years. oil is alway delivered in a timely manner. They service the boiler and come out to fix problems that may arise. Sometimes they are there before the phone is hung up, other times it takes a while, but its always fixed. THey are a huge company, but, still seem to have a small family feel, which is what I like most. I can always reach them, and, the reps try their best to be helpful. Can not say they are not pricey but the extra pennies are worth it in the end.

great- from boiler cleanings to trying to find out why the heat in these 1921 steam radiators isen't reaching the bathroom. The oil is delivered in a timely manner and I get to negotiate my contract and have payments spread across the year. It's great. I like them
Description of Work: I have worked with the Petro people for 26 years or so. They have done all kinds of work for me including replacing oil burners twice. Early on, when it was smaller, I had conversations with the owner (and his mother!) on occasion. The prices have gone up but the quality of service has not changed. I have a service contract and they come out until it's fixed. I guess I woulden't have stayed with them this long if thought I could do better. I can still talk to the president , but it takes a little more effort. I have had my issues with them over the years but they have always been resolved to my satisfaction.

The technician was a real professional. He quickly diagnosed the problem and set about to correct the issue and get us back to full service. As it happens there is a small quirk with the particular furnace and he went through two pieces of equipment of different voltages. He reached out to his colleagues for consultation who suggested a remedy. It required him going to meet another technician for a specific part, but off he went and quickly returned, installed the part and had the furnace operable. We were and are in good hands with Petro. We have heat which we appreciate. Since we have an annual service contract there was no cost.
Description of Work: We returned to the house after being away for a few days and found that the furnace was not working and the indoor temperature was 40 degrees (the plants suffered greatly from the drop in temperature). We were unable to restart or reset the furnace. We called Petro and a service technician was scheduled for the afternoon who was promptly on time.

Everything went fine and works well. The only issue seemed that Petro's salesman overpromissed as to how and what could be accomplished in the space we had and the installers had a bit of trouble and creative thinking to actually install what Mike said could be installed.

I just had my chimney worked on and lined. I called Petro to see if they could come out to see what is going on with my furnace and they said they could not come out but if I got oil,, they would. There is a weird smell coming from the furnace and it keeps shutting off and on. I would never use them to get oil even when my furnace is in tip top shape. Such a turn off

The annual service is included in our contract and part of the budget plan which is convenient and cost effective. Technicians are always friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

Had an issue with needing an on site tank level measurement, which is not usually needed since most have a gauge. I received a follow up call during which I explained the issue, and Petro was highly responsive, set up the measurement, and delivered the first order all timely. Customer service is not about what goes well: it's about how a problem is handled. They did a great job.
