Arlington Fuel Oil Co. Inc. is a heating oil company whose website lists a service area running from Arlington and Lexington to Cambridge, Somerville and Waltham. A 2026 customer who had just bought a house said they ran out of heat during a snow storm. That 2026 customer said Matt called right back, and two hours later his guy had already refilled the tank, with the process and pricing explained over the phone. On its BBB page the company describes itself as installing and servicing oil burners, delivering oil and doing light plumbing work. In a 2022 review, a customer said a home inspector found burner issues a previous provider had missed, so they switched to Arlington Fuel. That 2022 customer said the technician fixed the issue the inspector identified and resolved another problem that could have been a serious safety issue. A couple of months later, the same 2022 reviewer wrote, a component failed and Arlington Fuel was in the basement working on it in fifteen minutes. A Lexington customer of more than 20 years, writing recently as they leave the area, said Matt was always a phone call away, responded promptly and provided service at a fair price. A 2026 customer of more than 10 years said they had to call in the middle of the night multiple times and the company came out promptly. A 2025 customer wrote that their questions had always been answered quickly and issues addressed thoroughly. A Somerville-based plumber on r/CambridgeMA wrote in 2025 that they usually recommend Arlington Fuel Oil. On r/arlingtonma, a February 2023 poster said a neighbor recommended Matt Campbell at Arlington Fuel Oil and that he had been great in the first few months; in December 2024 one poster said the company auto-fills about monthly and another called it solid and said they reorder by phone. A 2014 nj1015.com item names Mike Walsh of Arlington Fuel Oil Co., Inc. making a delivery of home heating oil. Its Massachusetts HVAC license 9706-SM-J1, in Paul J Campbell's name, is active on the state registry. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+, and it holds 4.3 stars from 16 Google ratings. A 2024 Google reviewer wrote that its delivery drivers were bad at driving and had road rage.
“Somerville based plumber here, we usually recommend Arlington Fuel Oil.”
“Another vote for Arlington Fuel Oil. They have serviced our place for 10+ years. Great service. Steady annual maintenance. Had an issue with thermostat/furnace once and they responded ASAP during a weekend snow storm. Highly recommend them.”
“We’re on Arlington Oil too, they just come and auto fill ~month so I never need to worry about going dry.”
“We have Arlington Oil. They’re solid. I always reorder by phone so not sure if they have an online option.”
“My neighbor recommended Matt Campbell at Arlington Fuel Oil Inc, and he’s been great in the first few months. Admittedly I didn’t really shop around, but he keeps things topped up without me needing to call every time it gets low.”

We're very happy with Arlington Fuel. They have been reliable and communication has been great throughout the process.
Can't recommend Arlington Fuel more highly. Matt and his team are the best. We've been customers for 20+ years. Throughout that time, things happen to your heating system. Matt was always a phone call away, always responded promptly, and always provided outstanding service at a fair price. We're older now and are leaving the area. Thanks, Matt and team, for all the advice and support over the years. You easily surpassed our expectations and will be missed. JN, Lexington, Ma.
Just bought a house and we ran out of heat during snow storm. Spoke to the receptionist and she said she would have Matt call me. Matt called me right back. Said he would get me refilled and back up and running by tomorrow. Two hours later his guy had already refilled my tank. He took the time to explain the process and pricing over the phone. Call them if you want fast and fair service!
Been using Arlington Fuel for 10+ years and have always had great service! Had to call in the middle of the night multiple times and they have come out promptly! Everyone is extremely friendly and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Matt and team are excellent! They are consistent, reliable, honest, and have become a trusted resource. Our questions have always been answered quickly and issues addressed thoroughly. Grateful to get to work with this great local business.
