We were with Webber Oil of Bangor until they sold out to Dead River of Bangor. Since the merger we've noticed that Dead River seems to be dropping the ball on services. I had to call for an oil delivery when my tank fell to lower than normal levels. When I made the call, the woman I spoke with at first ignored my request for an early delivery and then lapsed into repeating over and over again when my next delivery would take place. Recently, we noticed that they did not contact us to schedule a furnace cleaning. We will be shopping our oil and furnace contract when it is up in May.

We appreciate Dead River's promptness and friendly drivers, but one of the main reasons we like this compasny is because our furnace kicked the bucket about 10 years ago in the middle of the winter. They financed a new furnace and installed it within days.
