Fawcett Energy is a heating oil company that says it has been in business 132 years. Its website names service areas from the Blackstone Valley and Northern RI to Boston, the South Shore, Worcester and Central MA, the South Coast and Cape Cod. On Google it holds 2.3 stars from 8 ratings. A 2023 customer of at least 12 years said they had a contract for auto delivery of the oil and a service plan for annual cleaning and tune up of their heating system, and that they had never had any problems in those 12 years. A 2021 customer whose central A/C would not come on said next-day service by Mark was efficient and that he explained every part of the work. A 2026 customer said an oil delivery never showed up; the company told them to put diesel in the tank to keep the heat going and kept giving different delivery days. A 2026 Reddit commenter said their latest bill from Fawcett was "WAY higher than the others that I'm seeing." A 2022 reviewer wrote that after getting "the yellow card about the guaranteed price," the oil price was raised four times without telling the customer. A 2025 Reddit commenter described Fawcett Energy as "the company that just filled a Medford home basement with heating oil the other day."
“I have a service contract that costs a couple hundred dollars and provides for a free tune up”
“I'm not locked into the price, but it feels wildly more expensive than anything I'm seeing on that New England Oil site”
“I have Fawcett and my latest bill (from just today) was $4.8990 per gallon, which is WAY higher than the others that I'm seeing”
“I think he’s more concerned fawcett is going to go under based on the comment on cost.”
“Fawcett's insurance will pay for the clean up, the costs related to alternate housing, and damages.”
“Officials said they’re investigating how a Fawcett Energy delivery driver could make such a costly and dangerous mistake.”
“The oil company, Fawcett Energy, was supposed to make the delivery at a home on Linwood Street in Malden, Mass., but instead showed up at a home on Linwood Street in Medford, Mass., roughly 10 miles away, CBS News reported.”
“Ferrante says Fawcett Energy, the company responsible for the mix-up, is well-known in the industry.”
“The oil company is Fawcett Energy. Not only was the truck at the wrong house, it was in the wrong city.”
Made an oil delivery they didn't show up. I called and asked when the delivery was going to come. They told me to put diesel in the tank to keep the heat going. They never showed up after continuing to tell me different delivery days. Left my family in the cold. Shame on you
We have been served by the oil company Fawsett Energy for at least 12 years. We have a contract for auto delivery of the oil, a service plan for annual cleaning and tune up of our heating system, and a plan for replacing the oil tank in case it leaks (ours is very old). In these 12 years we have NEVER had any problems or issues. We never think or worry about the oil because it is delivered automatically and only when it is needed. Oil prices are flexible, but it is what it is. It depends on many factors. Yes, sometimes we pay more, but sometimes very little. I think they offer a fixed rate plan, but we're happy with how things are going so far. Their technicians are excellent and always take good care of us. This is a good business and I highly recommend them! Also, having read a couple of other reviews here, I can attest that they have never treated us unfairly or spammed us. We are their long-term and loyal customers for good reason.
