Verified record
Anderson Fuel has been delivering heating oil on Scituate's South Shore since just after World War II. A 2021 wickedlocal.com article recounts how Arthur Anderson and his brother James, back from service in the Pacific, converted their father's wood-and-coal business on Gannett Road into a heating-oil delivery and installation company — consistent with the Better Business Bureau's own record of the company starting on January 1, 1946. On Nextdoor, a Hull resident wrote in a January 2026 post that Anderson Oil installed their heating system a few years earlier and that they still use the company for oil delivery and service, calling the experience positive. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ rating, though it is not BBB-accredited. Its Massachusetts HVAC license, #18877-SM-A, held by Gary Anderson, is active on the state registry. This is a solid pick for oil delivery and heating-system service on the South Shore; confirm current pricing and service-plan terms directly before signing up.
