Colonial Fuel Inc. is a Plymouth, Massachusetts heating-system-repair company that BBB lists as in business for 42 years and led by Paul Palingo. Reviews also describe oil delivery, a new oil tank, and furnace tune-up work. Customer history is mixed but specific: a December 2025 reviewer reported an oil-runout response within an hour, while another described decades of oil and burner help. Other reviews mention 12 years of use, a new oil tank, and furnace tuning. Two one-star reviews from 2025 report rude phone interactions around oil service requests. These are customer accounts, so ask about current intake policies, emergency response, availability for new customers, and the scope and price of any tank or furnace work.
