Last 6 months: 37 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read Montanari Fuel describes itself on its website as a family-owned fuel delivery company in Ridgefield, CT, Fairfield County and nearby areas, and says it has been in business 80 years. A customer who has used Montanari for over 20 years says it delivers their oil and services their HVAC system, and that they have bought a furnace, an oil heater and an air conditioning unit from it over the years. A customer whose hot water/boiler system had an issue says the team showed up within a couple of hours, diagnosed the problem and resolved it the same day, covered under their maintenance plan. A customer who had an oil burner cleaned says the service man found a needed repair and took care of it at the same visit. A customer says a pipe repair was quick and the service men left everything clean. A customer who left Village Oil after it was bought out says Montanari has friendly staff and quick deliveries. A 2025 customer said fuel oil deliveries on their automatic delivery plan were made in a timely fashion. A 2025 customer said the company figured out problems with their fuel fill intake and burner exhaust that other fuel companies had not solved. A 2022 customer said Montanari had installed a new Buderus furnace, a new basement oil tank and two Daikin mini split air conditioning units. A 2022 customer said the company found a lifetime guaranty on a hot water heater, filed the claim and got them a new one for free. A customer says the company did not see that a boiler fitting was leaking oil. Connecticut lists its ST1 heating licence, HTG.0307877-ST1, held by Andrew J Montanari, as expired. **Strengths:** - Same-day boiler repair — a customer says it was resolved the same day - Oil and HVAC together — a 20-year customer uses them for both - Fill and exhaust fix — a 2025 customer said they solved years-old problems **Concerns:** - A missed oil leak — a customer says a leaking boiler fitting went unseen ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company's website describes it as a fuel delivery provider in Ridgefield, CT, Fairfield County and nearby areas. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://montanarifuel.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Montanari Fuel Inc. is a leading provider of fuel delivery services in Ridgefield, CT, Fairfield County, an…” - A customer of over 20 years says Montanari delivers their oil and services their HVAC system. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2sxa1RYQmxRMlp6VlRkYWFFSnhabFpVYTNSTWRuYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x8d9f4ce719a21ae!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOk1kTXBlQ2ZzVTdaaEJxZlZUa3RMdnc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I have used Montanari for over 20 years.
