John's Oil & Propane delivers heating oil and services heating systems out of Lynn. The company says it has been in business 52 years and calls itself "not a national chain," and its own site lists a service area that includes Beverly, Danvers, Malden, Everett and Gloucester. A recent customer who switched from another oil company said John's tuned up their furnace, found a lot of things that needed to be taken care of, and that it now runs like new again; that customer also signed up for automatic delivery and a service contract. A 2026 customer said that, with a winter storm coming, they called about an oil fill and were being filled an hour later. That customer also said the company had installed a new heating unit six months before the review. A 2025 customer of more than 40 years said the company had handled oil deliveries as well as a furnace or boiler that wouldn't start and an oil tank that needed replacing. A 2023 customer said John's quickly diagnosed a boiler that was constantly running and replaced the controller causing the problem. A 2025 customer said a technician named Steve repaired their oil burner. A 2026 customer of 15 years objected to a new minimum order requirement and said the family would find another company if it continued. A 2026 reviewer said a John's driver sped and swerved down a residential street in a school zone and that they were filing a police report. A 2023 customer said they paid to have the system primed with an oil delivery, nobody came to the door for that service, and when the radiators still did not come on the office said a return visit would cost extra. A 2022 customer said they were charged full price before the job started and did not get an adequate refund for labor that was not performed.
Best service!
Awesome company. Highly recommend!
I had an oil co. for years. I knew the owner's daughter from work. They were good. They sold out to a big company. I did not like the way they do business. So, I went to John's, man am I glad I did. They tuned up my furnace & found a lot of things that needed to be taken care of. They did great It runs like new again. I got auto delivery & the service contract from them. Makes life easy.
Rude people
Your driver speeds at 40+ miles per hour down our side street which is a residential 20mph SCHOOL ZONE. Your driver speeds and swerves for absolutely no reason. Snipping the recording from our camera today and filing a police report for reckless driving. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED DUE TO YOUR RECKLESSNESS
