## The honest read

On its BBB page, 603 Oil Co. describes itself as a family-owned oil delivery company serving many towns in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, and its website lists Meredith, Sandwich, Wolfeboro and Tamworth in its service area. A local news site has quoted Richard Annaian, the owner of 603 Oil Co. in Moultonborough, N.H., on consumers finding it difficult to pay for fuel.

A 2025 customer said the oil truck could not get up their icy driveway, Amy called to explain, and the truck came back the same day after they shoveled and sanded. A 2025 customer said a delivery came two hours after calling. A 2026 customer thanked the driver for an oil delivery at 7 pm during a cold snap.

The work goes past the oil truck. A 2025 customer said a 500-gallon propane tank was installed and filled quickly and neatly. A 2025 customer said 603 replaced their furnace quickly after finding the old one was unsafe. A 2025 customer who came home to no heat said someone was over in an hour, and more people came out when the problem turned out to be more complicated. A 2026 customer said 603 had someone out within an hour for a propane issue, and the issue was resolved. A 2024 customer with a Buderus boiler problem said the company came out again on Christmas Eve, and they were back up and running.

The phone is where things go wrong. A recent customer said that after calling to confirm an appointment, they were told it could not happen without an emergency fee, and they were screamed at after being put on hold. A recent caller checking propane prices said they were rude and dismissive on the phone. A 2025 customer said a delivery requested for Monday or Tuesday did not come Monday, and Amy told them they had said they would call back with a date. A 2024 customer said oil promised for a Friday never showed up, and when they called they were told to find a new oil company.

**Strengths:**
- A two-hour delivery — a 2025 customer got oil two hours after calling
- Icy-driveway return — a 2025 customer said the truck came back the same day
- Propane tank install — a 2025 customer said it was quick and neat
- A no-heat call — a 2025 customer said someone was over in an hour

**Concerns:**
- Phone manner — a recent caller said they were rude and dismissive
- An emergency fee — a recent customer was told one was required for an appointment
- A missed delivery — a 2025 customer said a requested delivery did not come Monday
- A no-show delivery — a 2024 customer said promised oil never showed up
