Excellent. I would have no hesitation recommending Service Oil Company. Friendly staff, propane reasonably priced; no extra delivery or installation charges; local company. No 'minimum' annual charges or rental fees for low volume propane users. Prior propane home delivery company charged annual rental and minimum usage fees that averaged out to over $19 per gal!! Service Oil has no installation or delivery charges - customer pays only for actual propane delivery at a reasonable market price.

We have been using Service Oil for over a year for residential propane tank refills. We have filled our propane tank during that time roughly 5 times. Since we own our tank, we can "shop" propane prices. For each refill, Service Oil has come in as the best price. They also did a free inspection on our tank when we purchased our house. And every time I have called they have been able to come either same day, or the very next day. I will continue to use them, and I highly recommend them (I will also continue to compare prices, but I have a feeling they will continue to come in at the lowest price).

We are very pleased with this company so far. They brought the first propane when they said they would and we have 30 days to pay the bill. The two employees who brought the tanks to be installed were very friendly and helpful. They worked very efficiently.
Description of Work: They installed 2 100 gallon propane tanks on our property. We must buy our propane fuel from them, but we can cancel service at any time without penalty.

I had a difficult time with them. They had an annual service plan for the furnace. I found another place that I could pre-purchase my heating oil for 50 cents less per gallon so their prices were high. They always were very reliable in delivering the oil. They did auto delivery and they never notified us prior to delivery. The customer service individual that we dealt with was difficult. He complained about his job and there were a few times that his language was a little crude. He wasn't exactly pleasant to deal with. That with the competition of prices is why I left.
Description of Work: I used Service Oil for residential heating oil and annual furnace service.

Service Oil Company are the best. They're honest and do excellent work. They don't do work on your car you don't need, like some other companies try to do. They're not cheap, but they do good work and they're honest. They're definitely professional.

I had the underground bulk tank installed by another company in 2011 and had been purchasing my propane from that company. The first year the price was under $2.00/ gallon. The second year the price was just under $3.00 / gallon. This past November (2013) when I called, the price was almost $4.00/gallon. I started calling around to other dealers for prices. Service Oil quoted me a price straight up with no haggling that was less than I paid the other company for the initial fill in 2011. I couldn't believe that the other company was ripping off its loyal customers that badly. Service Oil never knew that I had competitive bids. When the inspector came to the house to do the inspection (required by the State and the insurance companies), I told him I got a really good price per gallon and asked him if that was a promotional offer to get a new customer. He told me that would be the price they are charging everyone. I explained what had happened with the other company and told him that I always thought customer loyalty stood for something. He said at Service Oil it does. I told him I would be staying with them as long as they continue to give me a fair shake on propane pricing. They didn't not charge for the inspection either although the inspector told me that some of the other companies do.
Description of Work: Inspected our propane heating system in November 2013 prior to a tank fill as a new propane customer. After the system checked out, Service Oil delivered approximately 800 gallons of propane within several days.

They did a great job for us. They did this a year ago. A lot of natural gases was coming through our area so people were converting their oil furnaces to gas. It was time to do it. It cost about six or seven thousand in comparison to other quotes I was getting for twelve thousand. They provided a professional service all the way through. A team came through to put it together. It worked with no problems. Everything went down they way they said it would go down.
Description of Work: I used Service Oil Co. They installed a hot water boiler for my residence. I found the boiler I wanted to use. It was a special brand and they were able to customize it for me at the best price I could fine. They got it done very well.

They have always been very reliable and very good. They respond very quickly and they are very knowledgeable. They are clean as they work in your house; they are very cognizant of giving you the service that you want. We have used them quite a few times. It costs $75 just to come out to the house. I absolutely would use them in the future.

We had a service contract on our furnace. They came out for the cleaning and found a defective oil gun, stopped the cleaning and then would not replace the oil gun under the contract. The furnace stopped running and we called up for service; the service man said that they should cover the problem but he couldn't do it. Another serviceman was sent and he said the problem was not covered under our contract. I called the company president 3 times, spoke to him at least twice and he was supposed to get back to me with some information. He never did. I called the service department for something else and they never returned my call. THE MOST DISHONEST COMPANY I'VE EVER DEALT WITH! If you go with them, you better hope that you don't have any problems!
Description of Work: THey were supposed to clean furnace , i had a contract they would fix problems , i had a problem and they didn't and wouldn't fix it and then would not complete the cleaning of the furnace,. which was part of the contract.
