## The honest read

Irving Oil delivers heating oil; a 2025 Reddit commenter in r/vermont said Irving was willing to send emergency oil when they ran out a couple of years earlier, though there was a substantial extra fee. The company's website lists heating oil, propane, delivery areas and online ordering, and the company says it has been in business 102 years. A 2022 Google reviewer of this location wrote, "It's a gas station."

A 2026 Reddit commenter said they use Irving auto delivery and that the tank has a wireless device that lets Irving know when it is low. A 2022 commenter said they started getting an account with Irving and then were ghosted, and that Irving would not lock in a rate for anyone burning oil. Its BBB grade is B-, and the BBB lists four complaints.

**Strengths:**
- Emergency oil delivery — a 2025 commenter said Irving sent oil after they ran out
- Tank monitoring — a 2026 commenter described a wireless device on the tank

**Concerns:**
- Emergency fee — a 2025 commenter said emergency oil carried a substantial extra fee
- An unfinished account — a 2022 commenter said Irving ghosted them during signup
