Local news has reported that Superior Plus Propane bought out Cash Energy, and a newscentermaine.com report from Scarborough said customers voiced frustration after the company closed all of its Maine and New Hampshire offices to walk-in traffic. On Google it shows 4.5 stars from 254 ratings, and the BBB grades it A+. A 2026 customer of many years said they called for a delivery with 1/8 of a tank left, that their credit card was charged before the oil was delivered, and that a neighbor had to bring diesel fuel to keep their furnace running in the meantime. A 2026 customer of over 20 years said they ran low on fuel and were told to wait 7 to 10 days for a delivery, and on calling back was quoted a fee for an emergency delivery. A 2026 customer said water was delivered mixed in with the fuel, which stopped their heat and cost $475 in furnace damages, and that the manager ignored their calls for a month and then denied responsibility. A 2025 customer of over 15 years said they were on hold for 2 hours and 19 minutes and then told delivery would take 10 days, though that customer spoke well of the customer service rep and the delivery man. **Concerns:** - Delivery wait — a 2026 customer was told 7 to 10 days - Water in fuel — a 2026 customer reported $475 in furnace damages - Long phone hold — a 2025 customer waited 2 hours 19 minutes - Early card charge — a 2026 customer was charged before oil arrived ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself as a heating oil dealer that also provides burner service _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/me/scarborough/profile/fuel-oil/cash-energy-oil-company-0021-97882) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): Cash Energy is a heating oil dealer and also provides burner service.” - Local news reports Superior Plus Propane bought out Cash Energy _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/money/consumer/superior-plus-propane-downeast-energy-cash-energy-maine-offices-close/97-ff80b110-0c34-4fbc-a3c1-3bf5ab728b9b) — “newscentermaine.com — SCARBOROUGH, Maine — Some customers of Superior Plus Propane, which owns Downeast Energy and Cash Energy, are voicing …” - [Local News](https://wgme.com/news/local/superior-plus-propane-closes-all-local-offices-in-maine-nh-still-delivering-fuel-new-hampshire-downeast-energy) — “wgme.com — Superior Plus Propane has bought out Downeast Energy and Cash Energy.” - 4.5 stars from 254 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Cash%20Energy&query_place_id=ChIJqZ4ZWCSfskwRbAqgE6nh5u0) — “Google: 4.5★ from 254 ratings” - BBB grade of A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/me/scarborough/profile/fuel-oil/cash-energy-oil-company-0021-97882) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A 2026 customer said their card was charged before the oil was delivered and a neighbor had to bring diesel fuel for the furnace _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT214NWRWOVJPRzFhV1hCcE4wdDRORWxpV1hoTFpWRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xede6e1a913a00a6c!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmx5dV9ROG1aWXBpN0t4NEliWXhLZVE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “1★ I have used Cash Energy for many years and now totally dissatisfied with the company since they were purchased by Superior Propane.
