Fisher Churchill Co.

Fisher-Churchill says it has delivered heating oil and serviced furnaces and heat pumps around Dedham since 1854, describing itself as family-owned and run by people who live in the same towns they serve. The company's own history traces back further still, to a 19th-century business selling grain, hay, ice and coal to local farms before it moved into fuel oil. Customers who've called them describe a familiar cast of technicians rather than a rotating crew. In a 2022 review, one homeowner credited Cody with tracking down the cause of a failing furnace; another 2022 review praised Rob for catching a flue build-up before it caused bigger trouble. A 2023 review described Bill doing a thorough annual burner tune-up and being "a pleasure to talk to." One customer summed up a longer relationship in a 2022 post, citing more than 25 years of oil delivery and service from the company. Google shows a 4.8-star average across 66 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades the company A+, though it is not BBB-accredited. The one sour note on file is a February 2026 review describing a frustrating phone call — an argumentative receptionist and a long, unexplained hold over an oil refill — a complaint about the front office rather than the technicians who show up. Fisher-Churchill was also named, in a 2016 mention from a regional energy nonprofit, as one of a small group of installers offering discounted cold-climate heat pump installations — worth asking about directly, since most of what customers describe here is standard oil delivery, furnace repair and AC service rather than heat pump work. For homeowners in Dedham and nearby towns who want an established, locally-run outfit for oil delivery or routine heating and cooling service, this is a business people keep coming back to — just confirm pricing and scheduling details up front if the office, not a technician, is who picks up.
