Carey's Discount Oil is a Whitman, Massachusetts fuel-oil supplier serving residential and commercial customers across South Shore and Metro South communities. Its website describes #2 fuel-oil delivery, multiple payment options, emergency delivery, and referrals to local burner and boiler service providers. The recent written record is mixed. A March 2026 customer with 15 years of experience praised prompt deliveries and communication with Tom; a November 2024 customer described affordable pricing, on-time delivery, simple ordering, and courteous service. Three other reviews from December 2025 and December 2024 reported refused or delayed deliveries, running out of oil, and a system that could not be restarted after delivery. Before ordering, confirm minimum delivery quantities, delivery timing, emergency arrangements, and what happens if the burner or boiler needs service after delivery. BBB lists an A+ rating and no accreditation, while Google reports a 3.6-star average from 52 ratings.
“Carey’s Discount Oil”
I have been a customer of Carey for 15 years. Their deliveries are always prompt and the communication with Tom the owner is great. Highly recommend!
Apparently 100 gallons two miles down the road isn't enough money for this greedy oil company. Leaving veterans in the cold. Unacceptable business practice. Don't support this company at all if you support America and the people that keep us free.
Refused oil delivery to a friend of mine for not buying enough. He is a veteran on a strict budget. Carey's discount oil is a disgrace to not only the members of the community they claim to serve, but a disgrace to themselves for discounting our service men.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!! Today was the 3rd time they didn’t deliver on time and we ran out of oil, again. Called at 8a, “we’ll send a truck right over.” It’s now 1:15p, the guy filled the tank, attempted to prime and restart, but couldn’t do it. “You’ll have to get a technician to come out and get it started.” So, I need to pay for a technician to get my system to work, when it worked perfectly fine prior to their failure to deliver. To say this company sucks is an understatement!!
I started using Carey's a couple years ago when I realized they are consistently one of the most affordable home heating oil providers in our area. They have always delivered on time, the process is simple, and everyone I have dealt with has been courteous.
