Mel And Sons Oil delivers heating oil and services heating systems, and its website lists a service area starting in Wakefield and running through Andover, Burlington, Lynnfield, Malden, Medford and Melrose. A 2026 customer who found the oil tank gauge close to empty during a cold stretch called for a delivery. That 2026 customer said Howie returned the call and was at the house filling the tank within the hour. The company says on its website that it has served local families for three generations and has been in business 37 years. On its BBB page it describes itself as offering fuel oil and oil burner services, including automatic fuel oil delivery. A 2024 reviewer who had lived in Wakefield for over 35 years said the company replaced their burner years ago and that they had the heater serviced regularly. In a 2023 review, a customer said Mel and Sons had repaired their furnace on weekends and late evenings. A 2023 reviewer who wrote as new homeowners said the company helped them learn about oil and maintenance of their furnace. A 2022 customer wrote that the company was fast on emergency service calls. A 2025 r/massachusetts commenter suggested Mel and Sons or Broco. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+, and it holds 5 stars from 10 Google ratings. A 2025 Google reviewer asked that the company not fill tanks before 7am unless the oil is an emergency need, writing that the trucks were so loud.
“Mel and Sons or Broco”
Mel and Sons oil great. OWNER and WORKER'S are fantastic. I referred them to all my friends and people needs oil and take care of their boiler.
10/10 — My family & I have used them for years and they’ve always been reliable. Great service, great people, and quality you can trust. If you need an oil company for your home or business, go with Mel and Sons Oil. Highly Recommended!!!
I happened to check the gauge on my oil tank and it seemed to be very close to empty. It didn’t surprise me because I had been setting the heat higher than usual because of the crazy cold weather of late. I called and asked for a delivery. As it turns out I was on the schedule to get a delivery in the next couple of days. Howie returned my call and was at my house filling the tank within the hour. Such a wonderful company to work with! Thank you for such great customer service!
It would be nice if they stated filling tanks at least after 7am If it’s not an emergency need for oil. The trucks are so loud.
For over 35 years living in Wakefield Mel and Sons have truly provided the best service to keep us comfortable throughout the year. To a person, employed with Mel and Sons Oil, my wife and I have had only good experiences. Years ago they replaced our burner and we received only the best products. We have the heater serviced regularly and Mel and Sons have provided great satisfaction for over 30 years working with them. A. Wright, Architect.
