Nightlife Oil Burner Service is a one-man Ashland heating company; owner Chris Granger says he started the business in 2006 after 25 years in the oil service industry and has lived in the Ashland area more than 40 years. The company describes itself as installing furnaces, boilers, oil tanks and water heaters, upgrading oil lines to code, and taking calls around the clock without requiring a service contract, serving Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Natick, Wayland and a dozen more nearby towns. The reviews on file back that up with specifics. A December 2025 review described a technician spending a long time tracking down scarce furnace parts — eventually calling a Lenox factory that agreed to stay open so an assistant could pick them up through rush-hour traffic — and restoring heat that same evening. A June 2026 review described an annual tune-up that also caught and explained a hot water supply issue, and a February 2026 review said the owner and his son provided fast service for a batch of heating problems. In a 2016 Reddit comment, one homeowner said they'd just paid around $7,000 for a job and called the service and communication great. For oil heat installs, tune-ups and emergency no-heat calls in the MetroWest towns it serves, the specific, hands-on write-ups here are a good sign for a small, one-person operation.

“Just did mine today with nightlife oil for about 7k. Great service and communication.”
Zach and Derek showed up on time, did an extremely thorough job with the annual tune up. Went above and beyond explaining and troubleshooting an issue with the hot water supply. Well worth the once a year expense by true professionals, who actually care about their customers and their own reputation. Don't get caught in a trap to save a few dollars with the larger companies' gimmicks, who don't care whether you come or go. Your piece of mind is well worth it!
Chris and his son are great, had a few issues with my heat and they provided fast and exceptional service. I highly recommend this company
What a great service. Thank you Zach. He spent a long time trying to find the parts for my furnace so I could have heat again. No matter where he called no one had the parts. He called the Lenox factory in Wilmington and they were willing to stay open till his assistant got there through rush hour traffic. They got to my house at 6:30 pm and we had heat by 7:15. Thank you Zach
These guys are awesome. They came right over. Very friendly. Got the job done right. I would recommend nightlife to any home owner in the area.
