Booma Oil Inc

Booma Oil is a Lynn-area heating oil company, and one 2025 Google customer wrote that when they called for help balancing their steam radiators to warm one of their children's rooms, the company came by that day and balanced them. That 2025 customer had expected to need a space heater for the baby's room. On its BBB profile, the company describes itself as delivering home fuel oil, installing domestic home heating equipment and systems, and offering year-round, 24-hour burner service; it says it was established in 1932, incorporated in Massachusetts in 1933, and employs 26 people. Its own website lists 24/7 emergency service and a service area of Boston, Lynn, Swampscott, Saugus, Lynnfield and Marblehead. On Google it holds 3.9 stars from 15 ratings. A 2025 reviewer said they had been a customer for over forty years and called the company promptly responsive. In a 2023 review, a customer of nearly 20 years wrote that Paul was there for them whenever their boiler had an issue. A 2024 reviewer said the company got right out and did what it said it would. In 2022, an r/homeowners commenter named Booma among several companies to try. A 2024 one-star reviewer said the company left them without heat on the coldest, wettest days, said they got very ill having no heat, and warned about Paul C., whom they called a con artist. In 2023, a one-star reviewer said the company used to be called Down Oil and that after it was sold it charged for everything, would not take 100-gallon requests, overcharged and mistreated clients; that 2023 reviewer called the buyer extremely unprofessional. And in a 2026 one-star review, a motorist said a company tanker truck went through a red light at Western Ave and Chatham St at 6 am with no attempt to stop.
