Order oilDirect from the company
Ashley Fuel's own site says it has provided delivery of #2 heating oil for over 20 years, alongside service and replacement work on boilers, oil burners, furnaces, oil tanks and water heaters. The company says it has been in business 32 years and lists a service area that includes Beverly, Danvers, Gloucester, Hamilton, Ipswich and Peabody. A recent customer called on a neighbor's recommendation to replace an old oil tank. Jack and Steve removed it and installed a new Granby double oil tank, and the customer was surprised by how clean they left the basement; the new tank got a quick delivery to fill it. A 2025 customer who needed a new furnace expected a quote from Paul Ashley and instead got a newly engineered steam boiler system proposal. That 2025 customer said Paul met them on a second visit, after a one-hour inspection, to explain the proposal and the problems in the old system. The 2025 customer said the job included rerouting the oil line off the floor onto the ceiling, replacing wet return pipes that had been in contact with concrete, and a new hot water tank, for less than the prior company's proposal. On install day, that 2025 customer said, they arrived and started work exactly when they said they would. A 2026 customer praised everyone from the phone call to the guys filling the tanks, and called them responsive and knowledgeable. A 2024 customer wrote that they had used Ashley Fuel since 2015 and described the service as prompt and friendly. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade and accreditation.
We called Ashley Fuel, based on a recommendation from our neighbor, to replace our old oil tank. We were very pleased and impressed from the point of our first contact to the install of our new oil tank and the quick delivery to fill the new tank. Everyone at Ashley was so very helpful in answering our many questions. There was always someone to answer your call in the office or return your call. Jack and Steve removed our old oil tank and installed a new Granby double oil tank. We thought this process would be so involved, time consuming and messy. But we were pleasantly surprised. Jack and Steve did a great job in the removal and install, so easy to talk to, answered all our questions, offered information and so very pleasant. The old tank was taken away and new one installed with no mess. it. We were very surprised and impressed on how clean they left the basement after all the work!! They did a great job, very professionally done. We are very happy we found Ashley Fuel. Great company and great people.
The whole team is amazing, from the phone call to the guys filling the tanks. Responsive when there’s a problem and knowledgeable! They readily and easily tell you what’s wrong and what they’re going to do to fix it. Thanks Ashley Fuel for keeping us warm and comfortable! There is no more personable business owner than Paul Ashley.
When I needed a new furnace I contacted my former oil company which I had been a customer for 32 years. I’ll leave their name out of it. They had been through 3 rolls ups (acquisitions) and the service level was barely tolerable. After receiving a quote, they didn’t respond to any of my questions of concerns. So I asked for a recommendation from a friend in the plumbing supply business and he recommended I speak with Paul Ashley of Ashley Fuel. I thought I was going to get a quote from Paul, but he really responded to me with a newly engineered steam boiler system proposal. I learned that the old system I had (which failed prematurely) wasn’t installed properly. For years and since they installed it in the mid 2000’s, I had wrestled with problems from the boiler which my old company (a major regional servicer) came and attempted to fix but never could. Yes I was billed for all those failed fixes. After a 1 hour thorough inspection of my set up, Paul met me in person on a 2nd visit to review the proposal and explain his analysis. He pointed to systemic problems in my prior system and taught me to understand why they failed. Paul also headed off major two major problems (safety related) that were inevitable to occur that my old company didn’t propose or even talk about. I eagerly accepted the Paul’s proposal. The scope of project proposal included ADDITIONAL attributes such as: Rerouting my oil line off the floor onto the ceiling. Replacing wet return pipes that had been in contact with concrete. Providing an entirely new hot water tank and operating system ALL FOR LESS COST than the lower quality work proposal from my prior company. When the install date came, I commented to Andrew that it was executed with military precision. There weren’t windows of time – they arrived and started work exactly when the said they would. They never used the words “we’ll try” it was only “I will”. Which they did. The company is family run and on the 2nd day of install I met Paul’s grandson Jack. The wife and daughter work in the office and answered my administrative calls (scheduling and billing). They use American made parts and have extreme pride in their product. My only regret is that I had not asked for the referral to them 20 years ago! Thank you Paul, Kim, Andrew, Gia and Jack – what an awesome business you operate and I am proud to be a “forever” client.
There are no words deep enough to explain this small company. Extremely genuine, efficient, knowledgeable and very kind. I can always count on them for their advice and reliability. Thank you so much, Ashley. You help me feel safe.
We’ve used Ashley Fuel since 2015 and they have been great! Always prompt and friendly service from the entire team.
