Como Oil & Propane is a provider of residential, commercial, and Industrial heating fuels. We have nine offices throughout NE Minnesota and NW Wisconsin, and we dleiver heating oil and propane to over 22,000 customers. We also sell furnaces, water heaters, AC and grills. Cook & Douglas counties available.

"My 94 yo mother has been a customer of Como Oil for decades. She even pre pays for every home fuel oil fill. On 6-27-23 Como greatly overfilled the tank which is in a finished basement Where we live. Grade 2 Fuel oil spilled outside of the home and onto the foundation, and then it flooded the basement. The fumes were so intense we became very sick. I spoke with the Hibbing MN manager, who could have cared less what my elderly Mom was going through with the fuel oil spill inside her home!!! He told me it wasn’t his problem since it was inside the house. Don’t EVER do business with this company. We had a credit of over $3000 dollars at Como and they said it would take 6-8 weeks to CUT a refund check. Come on? What a pathetic response. They caused the toxic spill, my 94 yo mother did not cause it. They took advantage of her. We want everyone to know how little they care about their long term customers, and how they placed us at a high health and safety risk. The gas hot water tank pilot light was only 3 feet away from the liquid spilled fuel oil. I did not want to give Como even a 1 Star rating, they deserve a ZERO."

"Yesterday, May 13, 2025 we were visited by Jeremy from A. G. O'Brien to restore the water pressure in out tub. He was not only on time but a bit early (Yay!). He called and texted before he got here. What a pleasant and professional man he was. He actually restored the water pressure (after 30 years of low pressure), he did it while letting me watch and learn. I am so impressed with your company for having him on your team. Thank you. M. Szymczak"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

A well-maintained hot water recirculating pump can last 5 to 15 years. Pumps that run continuously may have a shorter lifespan than demand-controlled models. Hard water can reduce longevity by causing mineral buildup in the pump and pipes. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing filters, can extend the pump’s lifespan.

You can and should vent the gas from your hot water heater to the outside of your home. Traditionally, these gases were vented back to other gas appliances, like stoves or furnaces, but many jurisdictions have outlawed this practice due to the risks it provides. 

Most water heaters today use atmospheric venting that exhausts the gas out of the home through a pipe.

You don’t have to replace expansion tanks at the same time as your hot water heater. You may be able to go six to 12 years or more before needing to replace your expansion tank. At $150 to $450, hot water heater expansion tanks are usually much more affordable than the cost of hot water tanks themselves, which average about $1,190.

In most municipalities, a license is not mandatory for water heater installation or replacement. However, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber or water heater installer to handle the work. Licensed installers are far less likely to make a mistake during the installation, which means paying for the experience decreases your risk of a leak and other issues. You can use our state licensing tool to find out if a contractor you’re considering in your area holds a plumber’s license.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
