BEWARE: Poor customer relations: Prepaid for oil for the entire winter, set up auto delivery, was told there would be no invoices sent since it was prepaid. Called in February to check on balance only to find they made no deliveries all winter and didn't think to make a call that something was wrong. Gave them another chance requesting delivery before tenant arrived, only to find out a week later, no delivery was made, no call made there was a delivery problem with their truck. Will NEVER use again if it can be helped.

They delivered promptly upon my request. They were able to get to my oil tank for delivery despite recent snow conditions. I was amazed by their promptness, professionalism, and dedication to their work.

They respond quickly, nice personnel and they've always fixed whatever they've come to fix. The prices are fine and they come when I ask them to. I get the oil from them so they service my tank. I know that they have some convenient stores.
Description of Work: I use RH Foster for my heating and a/c. They came and took a look at my furnace and started again.
