Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Conti Oil Inc is a Barre oil company, according to mynbc5.com. A 2023 customer on automatic refill said that after Chris called back the next morning about a tank inspection needed before delivery, an inspector came out, inspected the tank, and a fuel delivery arrived the same day. The company says it has been in business 63 years. A 2023 Reddit commenter said they had no complaints and that Conti had always delivered for them. A 2023 customer of almost 30 years said the company suspended all on-call delivery customers and imposed a "6-month order history" to remain a customer. A 2023 customer of 17 years said their account was called "inactive" after 14 months without a delivery and would not be reopened. A 2023 customer said that a month after sending a pre-buy contract, the company phoned to say it would not continue deliveries to them, and the customer said it was scaling back its delivery zone. A 2023 customer in Orange said they were told they were "too far away" to be serviced. A 2023 Reddit commenter wrote that Conti was not accepting new customers. A 2024 customer said the company refused to refund the money left in their father's pre-buy contract or deliver the remaining gallons after he went with another company. A 2023 customer said the company dropped their 83-year-old mother from its account without notice after almost two decades of pre-paid delivery. A 2023 customer said a stored credit card was charged without their approval. A 2022 customer on a payment plan said the company took the rest of a tank's cost from their bank account and refused to reimburse them for the mistake. A 2023 customer said the company let go of all its tech support that year, and a 2023 Reddit commenter wrote that Conti was no longer servicing furnaces. **Strengths:** - A same-day delivery — a 2023 customer said fuel arrived the day the tank was inspected **Concerns:** - Suspended on-call delivery — a 2023 customer said on-call customers were suspended - A refused pre-buy refund — a 2024 customer said leftover pre-buy money was not refunded - An unapproved card charge — a 2023 customer said a stored card was charged without approval - Stopped deliveries — a 2023 customer said deliveries to them would not continue ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A Barre oil company, according to mynbc5.com _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://www.mynbc5.com/article/the-affordable-heat-act-has-cleared-it-first-hurdle-but-not-without-concern/42961365) — “mynbc5.com — However, local oil companies, like Conti Oil in Barre, said they are worried about what the bill could mean for them.” - A 2023 customer said a tank inspection and a fuel delivery both happened the same day _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUMxZ01hNUhBEAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xde7c50e65fae2fc2!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIC1gMa5HA%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Amazing service!!!
