Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 3 negative. ## The honest read Tuxis-Ohr's describes itself on its website as a heating oil, biodiesel and energy services company for homes and businesses across Connecticut, and lists a service area that includes Berlin, Bristol, Cheshire, Branford, Essex and Guilford. An nbcconnecticut.com report says it delivers and supplies gas, heating oil and diesel for people around the state, and local news has quoted Kate Childs, its vice president and owner, on fuel prices. Its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer who has used it for years for oil said they are on the prepay program and automatic delivery, and that it cleans their furnace yearly. That customer said mini-split units it installed in 2021 have stopped working three times, that they always wait days for the tech, and recommends it for oil delivery but not for mini splits. A recent customer of several years said its technicians have maintained their HVAC and heating systems alongside regular oil deliveries, and described an evaluation and a fast quote for a new AC system. A 2026 customer who came home to no heat said Eddie called back, arrived around 5:35 and knew right away what the problem was. A recent customer who came over when it bought Moroni Fuel in Old Saybrook said a technician sent for AC service looked into the attic, said it looked good and serviced nothing there, and they were charged full price. A recent reviewer wrote that "communication is terrible and cost is very high." A 2025 customer said they were charged for a burner startup that was never done and for an oil delivery they never received. A 2025 reviewer who was not a customer said it delivered oil to their house by mistake and then sent them a bill for it. A 2025 customer of thirty years said a technician's visit about shower hot water left both showers unbearably cold, and that the office billed them for three visits when they cancelled. A 2023 customer said it filled their tank within four days after they asked it to wait a few weeks, then came back with about 25 gallons and billed them again. A 2024 reviewer accused a branch office manager of using a racial slur. **Strengths:** - Automatic oil delivery — a recent customer praised its prepay and automatic delivery - No-heat call — a 2026 customer said Eddie found the problem right away - HVAC maintenance — a recent customer said its technicians kept their systems up **Concerns:** - Mini-split repairs — a recent customer said units stopped working three times - AC service charge — a recent customer paid full price, attic left unserviced - Unrequested oil bill — a 2025 non-customer was billed for a mistaken delivery - Office communication — a recent reviewer called communication terrible and cost high **Where sources disagree:** - Its website says both that it has served customers for over 80 years and that it has 47 years in business. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says it provides heating oil, biodiesel and energy services to homes and businesses across Connecticut _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.tuxisfuel.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): For over 80 years, Tuxis-Ohr’s has provided reliable heating oil, biodiesel, and energy services to homes a…” - BBB grade A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/meriden/profile/fuel-oil/tuxis-ohrs-fuel-inc-0111-46000585) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A recent customer praised its prepay program and automatic oil delivery and yearly furnace cleaning _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21vNVJIVjRlbm8yTjBOVWExQkxVMUJoUTJoZlNXYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x3b3e6ee85ecebaf5!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmo5RHV4eno2N0NUa1BLU1BhQ2hfSWc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “4★ Have been using Tuxis-Ohr for years for our oil.
