Hawthorne Oil Inc

Hawthorne Oil has been delivering heating oil and servicing burners in Salem for decades — BBB puts it at 31 years, the company's own site says over 20 — and its reviews describe a business that shows up fast when something goes wrong. A February 2026 review described being helped 'in a pinch' with burner service and timely delivery, calling it an incredibly well-run operation. A December 2025 review credited Jeff with going above and beyond and called the business efficient and honest. The emergency stories are the most telling. In a December 2024 review, a new customer described an oil emergency the day before Christmas Eve — Hawthorne delivered within the hour and came back on Christmas Eve itself with a full tank. An older review from 2022 described an oil tank leak handled after 8pm the same night, with the crew back again the next day to finish the fix and help with cleanup. A Reddit mention backs up the pattern outside Google, describing good experiences with both routine maintenance and a larger oil tank replacement. There's no negative account on file to weigh against any of this, though with under a dozen written reviews total, it's still worth confirming current pricing directly.
