Winthrop Fuel Company

Winthrop Fuel Company delivers heating oil and propane out of Winthrop and installs and repairs the heating equipment that burns it. Its website pitches premium heating oil or propane along with equipment installation and prompt repairs, and the company says it has been in business for 90 years. On Google it holds 4.6 stars from 179 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer had a new propane heating system installed and said Scott, Skylar and Tony answered every question, cleaned up everything and explained the new system afterward. A recent customer who needed a propane heater installed said the office sent a service technician the next day and the install was completed within a day. A 2026 customer whose furnace stopped on a Sunday afternoon said a technician was at the house about an hour after a Monday morning call and had replaced the control module an hour later. A 2026 customer who bought a house with the tank about dry said no other place would deliver oil, and this company delivered that very day. A 2026 customer said remote monitoring of their seasonal property keeps them from running out of fuel. A 2025 customer, with the company since 2002, said it handled the sales, service and installation of a new on-demand hot water system. A 2026 customer who called for oil at a new house was told the company delivers to that area once a week and the window had been missed. A 2026 customer said an oil prebuy price they were quoted was raised at payment because they had never bought oil from the company before, and that a later propane delivery did not fill the tank. A 2025 customer praised the technician but said the person who answered the phone about a propane leak after a delivery was rude and dismissive. A 2024 customer said a technician did not turn the furnace back on and it was 57 in the house the next morning.
