Verified record
The Service Corp is a Peabody oil-burner service that's been around a long time — BBB lists it at 34 years in business with an A+ rating, though it isn't a BBB-accredited member. Only two written reviews are on file, and they tell different stories. One customer, a self-described 20-plus-year client, described being treated well in the past — a technician arriving late on a no-heat night but still showing up — but the same 2023 review goes on to describe a more recent Saturday call where the company was slow to respond, and the customer suspected a change in ownership had hurt service quality. The other review, from mid-2023, describes a technician named Nate who came out for a boiler issue, was professional, and explained the problem and the fix clearly. With so little written record to go on, it's worth calling ahead and asking about current response times before counting on same-day emergency service.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from The Service Corp.. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$5,000 – $11,400

I have used The Service Corp. has been my oil burner person for more than 20 years. I first used them on a cold winter morning with no heat. The Service Corp. said we will be out today guaranteed but it might be late. They showed up at 9:00 pm and I was thrilled. I called the Service Corp today (Saturday) and said I have no heat. The response I got was rude “ you have an old system and maybe I can get someone to come Monday afternoon”. I explained I was with them for a long time and I needed their help. Deaf ears. Their must have been a change in ownership because this company used to be great not now.
I was having some issues with my boiler and decided to give the Service Corp a call. They were very cooperating and understanding of my current situation, and sent someone out to take a look. The service was outstanding and I liked the customer service as Nate was very professional and even went the extra length to explain to me what is wrong and how he would be fixing it. Overall I definitely recommend the Service Corp. Fantastic service.
