Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Bob's Cash Fuel brings heating fuel to homes around Madison, and a Belgrade customer who signed on almost six years ago says its customer service, prices and quality of service turned them into a loyal customer. The company says it has been in business 45 years and calls itself one of the few in Maine certified to recertify propane tanks up to 419 lbs. A 2026 Reddit commenter in r/Maine pointed people to "Bob's in Madison" and added "No prepay." A 2026 customer said a technician came out on one of the coldest nights when their furnace died, fixed it and explained what was going on as he worked. A 2026 propane customer said their 20-year-old furnace quit over the holidays, and the service manager sent over a heater so the pipes would not freeze while parts were ordered. A 2025 customer who had been quoted a month's wait by a larger Central Maine supplier said delivery from Bob's always came within a week. A 2024 customer wrote that oil was delivered even after they left a vehicle in the way. In a 2023 review, a propane customer said the owner drove a delivery up their driveway himself one evening after a torrential rainstorm because his drivers needed to be relieved. A 2026 customer who called for emergency fuel at 11pm on a weekend of -20 windchill said it took 18 hours and several phone calls to get it, after paying an emergency fee. A 2025 customer said a prepaid kerosene order never showed after they were told they were next, and no one called. A 2025 customer said they were billed higher rates than the fuel prices quoted to them. A 2024 customer objected to how payments were applied to accounts and said the company sued them after they left. In 2022, a customer who had bought a furnace and oil tank from the company a year earlier said they were told service might come the next week because they did not buy their oil there. **Strengths:** - Helpful phone staff — a Belgrade customer says every call has been easy - A night furnace repair — a 2026 customer said the tech fixed and explained it - Delivery within a week — a 2025 customer said orders always arrived within a week **Concerns:** - Emergency fuel wait — a 2026 customer waited 18 hours after paying a fee - Missed kerosene delivery — a 2025 prepaid order never showed and no one called - Billed above quote — a 2025 customer said rates exceeded the quoted prices ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Heating fuel dealer in Madison, Maine _(confidence: high)_ - [reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maine/comments/1wbrews/heating_oil/p8wy6pb/) — “r/Maine — Bob's in Madison.
