Scott Williams is a heating oil delivery company and HVAC contractor in Quincy. A 2026 Google reviewer said that when their temporary office location ran out of oil, the company came out the same day. The company says it was founded in 1937 by Lawrence Williams and is family-owned, run by company president Ken Williams, the founder's grandson. Its website names a service area that includes West Roxbury, Dorchester, Milton, Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth and Canton. A 2025 customer said the company repaired their AC on one of the hottest days of the year and named Andy as the technician. In a 2025 review, a customer described technicians coming out to move baseboard heating around their basement and singled out a tech named Greg, who explained the installation process and took care to protect their floors and walls. A 2021 customer said the company did a full boiler and water heater rip-out and installation, and that Greg made sure they were up to speed on the new system before leaving. A 2024 reviewer wrote that the technician Greg was "a wealth of information" and that their oil burner was running like new. A 2024 r/massachusetts commenter who had used the company for a number of years said it replaced two expansion tanks and some other minor things with never an added charge. A 2024 Google reviewer in Hingham said they had been customers for twenty years and got a discount on oil and the maintenance contract as members of a regional energy alliance. A 2024 reviewer wrote that Carolyn and the team were very helpful on the phone when there was an issue. A 2020 pissedconsumer.com post from a 30-year customer said the company installed a new boiler and that a plumber said it was done well. A 2026 Google reviewer said a woman hung up on them twice, before they could finish speaking, when they called about an issue with their bill. In a 2025 review, a customer said a very rude woman answered the phone and hung up before they finished talking. A 2023 reviewer called the personnel rude and inept, the billing system the worst they had experienced and the drivers clueless. A 2023 reviewer said their aunt, over 72, had an appointment between 8:00 and 9:00 am, and that door-camera footage showed the man arrive at 8:10 and leave three seconds later with no knock, no doorbell and no phone call, because the woman at the front desk had dialed the wrong number. That 2023 reviewer said the company was not willing to help the aunt afterward, and that Kenny, the manager, did not believe anybody but his workers.

“Find an oil co that will estimate how much they think you’ll use over the winter and let you pay in equal installments At least then you can budget for it. I don’t know where you are in Boston but if you’re in Dorchester or Southie or south shore try Scott Williams in Quincy.”
“He was the owner and chairman of the board of Scott-Williams, Inc, an oil heating company in Quincy, MA.”
“I've been a 30-year customer. They offer competitive oil prices. They installed a new boiler; plumber said it was done well.”
This is an absolutely terrible service. I just called to inquire about an issue with my bill, and before I could even finish speaking, a woman abruptly hung up on me. I called back immediately, but once again—before I could finish what I was saying—she hung up on me again. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this company; their customer service is truly the worst.
We had the best experience with Scott Williams company today! We ran out of oil at our temporary office location and they came out same day! Incredible customer service! I would highly recommend. Thanks Again!!
Today (12/23/2025 I call and a very rude woman anwers the phone and before i finish talking she hang up., they're lucky that the account is in my wife name because otherwise i don't tolarated ignorant people.
I cannot say enough great things about Scott Williams. We have used many oil companies in the past and the service we receive from the Scott Williams team is unmatched. From my initial call with the owner to any service call I've had, everyone at the company has been knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Thank you!
A BIG thank you to Scott Williams for their speedy yet thorough service! They repaired my AC on one of the hottest days of the year. Andy the technician couldn’t have been nicer or more informative.
