I've used them for a long time. It would also include any service calls during the heating season. There have been occasionally very minor problems over the years and their price tends to be too high at times.
Description of Work: It was an annual checkup on the heating - a tuneup.

They come every year. They charge about $250 to $300 for the service plan. That covers service calls made the heating season. Occasionally I have had very minor problems over the years. Their price seems to be too high at times.
Description of Work: They were here for a tune up.

They are very competitively priced. I have used them for many years now. No plans to change. They're very good in pointing out if there's anything not quite right with the furnace. Even if it's working very well they do the service and they tell me that it's in great shape. They're very good. They've changed my thermostat. They're very responsive when I call them if I think there's something wrong or the heat is not coming on and they were there right away. Very reasonable.

These professionals worked efficiently and effectively, while protecting my property, basement. The furnace was installed within their estimated time in such a manner that it was hard to tell they had even entered my home. Most importantly, the on-site workers put down protective tarp in every area that they performed work to protect the lawn, floor, stairs and outside area. Anyone in need of a new furnace or just to have their furnace repaired, this company is one of the best in the business within the northern New Jersey area. I would highly recommend Dowling Fuel mainly because of their service and professionalism. I've been a very satisfied customer for the last five (5) years with their on-time fuel delivery. You never have to worry about 'We'll be their between some ridiculous hours' commitments.

Description of Work: Dowling was supposed to make an oil deliver of 200 gallons of home heating oil. Due to a cut in our oil line, we had to have an environmental company clean up the oil. When they came to do that, they discovered that there were only about 50 gallons of oil. Where was the rest of the oil we paid for? Probably still on the truck!! This company is not to be trusted in any way!!

Dowling Fuel Company has been very responsive and prompt with their service. I have an annual contract with them which covers service and small repairs. I like that they keep track of when I'm due for service and call first to set up a time. They have always showed up on time. The price is very reasonable.
Description of Work: They did a maintenance service on my oil furnace. They checked all of the parts and cleaned it all out. I have a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom home.

This company deserves five stars in my book. The work was great. They cleaned up. They were punctual and used time management to get the job done right. Now I found them to be affordable but I am estimating on the price I am quoting. I may have paid slightly more. Still, I paid a great price for services well done.
Description of Work: A boiler was installed in our 1600 square foot home by this company.

WE HAVE BEEN USING THIS COMPANY FOR THE PAST THIRTY YEARS. AFTER COMPARING PRICES THIS YEAR, DUE TO THE SOARING COSTS, I REALIZE THEY ARE HIGHER IN COST. I STAY WITH THEM THOUGH BECAUSE OF THE DEPENDABILITY, THE KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR OVERALL SERVICE.
Description of Work: I HAVE A SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THIS COMPANY TO INSPECT, CLEAN AND TUNE-UP OUR FURNACE. WE ALSO USE THEM FOR OUR HOME FUEL SOURCE.
