Arlmont Fuel Corporation sells heating oil and services heating and cooling equipment. Its website lists automatic delivery, heating equipment and installation, and air conditioning and heat pumps, with a stated service area that runs from Arlington and Belmont to Lexington, Cambridge and Boston. On Google it holds 3.1 stars from 34 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A 2025 customer who needed a new oil tank said Brenton was at the house later that day and the new tank was installed that week. A 2025 reviewer wrote that Brendon did their yearly oil burner cleaning and maintenance and replaced an oil tank. A 2022 customer said Brendan was able to diagnose and fix a problem immediately. A 2026 customer wrote of receiving deliveries and service from Roberto Fuel/Arlmont Fuel several times over the years. A recent customer who asked for a deep cleaning of a mini-split said the A/C maintenance charge was not in line with the work performed, and that owner Ryan became argumentative when the customer raised concerns. A recent customer said that after two months of runaround, the technician refused to do the HVAC service, claiming he could not park his truck next to the building, and drove off. A 2025 customer said the company missed an automatic delivery and the tank ran out. A 2025 customer who wanted central air put in said the company gave a quote, then sent an email saying "they have better jobs and they're dropping us." A 2024 customer of 22 years said a technician worked on a stopped oil burner for two hours, the fix lasted about five hours, and a different tech fixed the problem in 20 minutes the next morning. That 2024 customer said owner R. insisted the first visit be paid for as well, and the customer discontinued the service.

One of this company’s drivers nearly caused a collision today during a lane merge. We were already ahead and established in the merging lane when the van continued forward into our space, forcing us to swerve into the breakdown lane to avoid being struck. I hope the company identifies the driver and addresses this before someone is injured.
After many years as a customer, I was disappointed by my recent experience. I requested a deep cleaning of my four-year-old mini-split system. The technicians were professional and told me a deep cleaning was not necessary. On the indoor units, they only washed the reusable blue filters, something I routinely do myself in minutes. I was charged $450 for A/C maintenance, including $75 for each additional head. I felt the amount charged was not in line with the work performed and was unfair. When I raised my concerns, owner Ryan became argumentative and treated the situation as though I should have known what I agreed to and that it was my problem. Get the exact scope and price in writing beforehand. Use caution.
These guys really know what they’re doing . They probably been mechanics their whole lives. Super friendly and good prices too. I bring all of my vehicles here to get serviced and inspection stickers. Anything that the trucks need I always bring it here.
After getting the runaround for 2 months, they finally show up to service my HVAC system. Upon arrival, the technician then refuses to do the work claiming he can't park his truck next to the building. Despite protestations by myself and our property manager that its fine to park there, he refuses and drives off in a huff. Clearly they did not want to do the work. Very unprofessional so I would be wary to employ them in any fashion, be careful
I have received deliveries and service from Roberto Fuel/Arlmont Fuel several times over the years and they have been very attentive and helpful. They have gone out of their way to accommodate my needs. Great team of people and leasdership. I would highly recommend them for heating fuel delivery and heating system repairs.
