Metro Energy - M & T Oil Co.

Metro Energy - M & T Oil Co. runs heating-oil delivery and furnace work out of South Boston, and the standout number is 97 Google ratings averaging 4.9 stars. People call them for routine oil deliveries, oil-burner and furnace installations, and furnace tune-ups and repairs — the kind of heating emergency that can't wait. Several longtime customers describe relationships that go back decades: one, in a November 2024 review, said M & T had been their oil provider for 28 years, and another, in a February 2025 review, put it at over 40. Sixty-nine reviews span 2022 to 2026 across four platforms, and the specific installs keep repeating the same shape: fair, professional quotes on full furnace swaps. In an October 2024 review, a customer said Tom and his team gave a fair and affordable quote to replace a 120-year-old oil furnace; a 2023 review described Tom's crew installing two new furnaces at a two-family home within a few months, professional from arrival to finish. The company also shows up when supply runs critical — in a January 2025 review, Metro delivered fuel the next day after a customer's usual provider couldn't for two weeks, and in an August 2024 review, a same-day repair got a customer's sister's heat running again the day it went out. One limit worth asking about: in a January 2026 review, a longtime customer said it took three calls before anyone told them Metro had stopped serving their area, by which point their oil supply had run out. A separate February 2025 review disputed the company's 24-hour-availability claim outright, calling it false. And a March 2024 review flagged oil prices as a little on the high side, though the same customer said the service made up for it. For an oil-heat household near South Boston — a routine delivery, an aging burner, or a full furnace swap — the reviews point to a company that shows up and installs cleanly; just confirm they still cover your street, and ask what the 24-hour claim actually means before you sign on.
