That customer said they paid hundreds of dollars for a service contract, yet after the initial check of their system no one ever came to clean or check it — they got automatic deliveries, and that was all. The same customer wrote that two invoices arrived in one week with two different delivery dates and amounts, only one delivery slip matched, and instead of anyone noticing, they were called at work, emailed incessantly and threatened with collections. A 2026 Google reviewer who had been a client for almost 7 years was pleased with the service and praised the friendly staff, quick delivery and good pricing. The company's website says it has been in business 42 years, offers 24/7 emergency service, and gives customers who meet its requirements either a discount in oil or a cleaning. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade, and Google shows 4 stars from 105 ratings. In a 2025 r/RhodeIsland post, a commenter said Wesco, which had installed their system, was "absolutely useless" and was saying it could not get a tech out until maybe Monday. **Strengths:** - Quick delivery — a 2026 client of almost 7 years praised it - Friendly staff — a 2026 client of almost 7 years praised them **Concerns:** - An unserviced contract — a recent customer said no one came to clean or check - Conflicting invoices — a recent customer got two bills in one week - A collections threat — a recent customer said they were threatened with collections - A delayed tech visit — a 2025 Reddit commenter said maybe Monday at best ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent Google reviewer said they paid hundreds of dollars for a service contract, but after the initial check no one came to clean or check the system _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25kaVUxbHZZVE5pUVd0NVRGSnpXVTVqTkZOVllWRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xb322e44c0b6a3ac9!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOndiU1lvYTNiQWt5TFJzWU5jNFNVYVE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “1★ Be careful doing business with this company.
