Linwood Fuel Inc is a third-generation family-owned heating and fuel-oil company based in Hyde Park. The company says John G. Techiera started it in the 1930s, and it now provides fuel delivery, oil-burner installation, heating repairs and maintenance, central-air services, water-heater work, and oil-tank protection. The customer history is mixed. Google shows 11 ratings averaging 4.5, with several homeowners praising quick responses, next-morning furnace repairs, emergency help, oil delivery, and long relationships. One January 2026 reviewer, however, alleged that John took $900 for a promised fill, refused to return, and yelled on the phone; that is the most recent and most serious account to discuss before hiring. The company advertises 24/7 emergency service and says it serves a 30-mile radius spanning Suffolk, Norfolk, and Plymouth counties. BBB lists an A+ grade but says the business is not accredited; its profile lists 48 years in business and John M Techiera as owner. Linwood Fuel is a fit for homeowners seeking fuel delivery or heating-system service, especially when an urgent no-heat problem needs attention.

The guy John is a crook he took $900 from me today and refused to come back. Yelled and screamed at me over the phone swearing saying there’s nothing I can do about it after he agreed to fill it this morning. I’m calling the police and the AGs office. These guys are crooks.
Excellent service and very quick to respond. Highly reccomend!
