Metro Energy - M & T Oil Co.

Metro Energy - M & T Oil Co. has delivered heating oil in South Boston since 1929, when Manoug Markarian started out with a truck delivering ice and coal; the company says his sons built it into a full oil-heat business after World War II, and today it's a third-generation operation run by Brenda, Thomas, and Edward alongside their staff. From their base on E Broadway, they deliver oil and install and maintain furnaces and boilers across the Greater Boston area. On Google, 97 ratings average 4.9 stars, and the pattern holds through 2026: reviewers keep describing the same thing — a real person answers the phone, a driver shows up when promised, an issue gets a callback instead of silence. They say they carry a Better Business Bureau A+ rating and service mainstream furnace and boiler brands like Beckett, Weil-McLain, Burnham, Williamson, Roth, and Granby. One January 2026 review is worth reading before you sign up: a long-time customer says it took three calls to learn Metro Energy no longer served their address, and by the time they found out, their tank had already run dry, forcing an emergency scramble for oil elsewhere. It's the rare complaint in an otherwise steady stretch of reviews, but it's reason enough to confirm your street is still on their route before you count on them for your next delivery. For an established Boston-area household that wants an oil supplier with decades on the books, this is a reasonable bet — just get that address confirmation in writing first.
