Technician took care of servicing my heating system without a hitch. He showed up at the agreed time and there was no hassle about appointment times. The office monitors my usage and delivers to make sure that I don't run out of oil. There pricing is competitive with the lowest in the industry around my area. I wish I had found them earlier.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We know people are busy and we do try our best to keep to the appointment times scheduled. We also pride ourselves on our service and our automatic delivery that comes with our industry-unique Loyalty Plan. And we are so glad we found you and will work hard to nurture a happy and beneficial relationship! Always."

I was looking for a new oil company to deliver oil and service my furnace. The furnace was having an issue that needed attention. I hoped to find an honest, professional, and very knowledgeable company, if it existed. That is when I spoke with a neighbor who recommended Freedom Burner Service. I immediately called and spoke with Gwen, the owner’s wife, and I was able to schedule an appointment with ease. Gwen is very sweet and reassuring. Nelson, the serviceman, arrived on time (which never happened with the past companies). My furnace was thoroughly cleaned and after a thorough inspection the part having an issue was identified. The part was replaced shortly thereafter. Nelson is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything he was going to do. Never once did I feel anything was being rushed. I only wish I had found Freedom Burner Services much sooner. It is with a deep exhale, I now know I have found the company I can rely on.

Perfect! The job took a few days. They had to disconnect the old burner, and put together the new one, and get it up and running. We were never out of heat or hot water while it was being done. It was the cleanest job I have ever seen for such a complex replacement. These guys know what they are doing! On time and efficient.They are a family owned business and are easy to get in touch with. They always answer their phone! They are also the nicest people you would ever want to deal with. I have known them for over 10 years and would never go to any other company.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Thank you so much for the accolades! Wow! The pictures are great too. An awesome way to show how things have changed for the better for a heating system. Thank you as well, for the good words regarding our long history together. We deal with all of our customers the same way, as respected, vital and valued additions to our family. I do have to say though, that we do try to answer our phones but if all our lines are busy a customer might get the answering service where they would only need to leave a message. Similarly, if a person is calling outside our business hours, they will get the answering service and if they are a part of our industry unique loyalty plan or have a contract with us, will get an immediate callback. As we do not have emergency service for those who do not have a contract or are a part of our loyalty plan, those folks will get a call back the next day. You have been a blessing in all our lives here and we are so thankful for you and your family!!"

"Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We've been blessed to have you and your family as customers for a long time - when you first moved into that house! Remember the state of the boiler when you moved in?!! With some rehab and TLC she's been running and working for you all this time! Getting a great review from a new customer is awesome, getting one from a long time customer is a solid testament to not only the way we do business but the loyalty we get from those folks who've taken this ride with us for the long haul. And boy oh boy, are there a lot of those. Thanks so much for being among them!!"

When you work with a smaller company you get the privilege of having the owner come to your house. Glen was extremely knowledgeable, professional, clean and prompt. His prices are competitive and he is on site to make sure the job is done correctly. He and his wife are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Freedom Oil.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Thank you so much. I'm all for warm and fuzzy and that's the feeling we get when we work with our customers. It's good to hear that they get the same in return. And why shouldn't a business relationship be that way, where both entities come away feeling good about their association? Especially in this oil business with all these big oil conglomerates handing out slick sales pitches and gimmicks that add up to the customer-gets-bulldozed, it's nice to know that we fill a very specialized niche and we're doing a good job as well. Thank you again for the great review!"

Great always more than helpful and the knowledge they have and share is beyond any other service company I have hired in the past. Since I First hired Freedom Oil I have joined their service plan and will only use them for my boiler and burner. Great family business and excellent customer service. One of the few that no matter who you get they all go above and beyond each and every time.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Such a great accolade! Thank you!! We're all about sharing knowledge. I believe the saying is: 'Knowledge is power', well, we can attest to the fact that sharing that power makes for a win/win for all concerned. Having our customers 'pull up a bucket' if they so choose, to watch Nelson or Glen work their magic, and ask them questions - and have them happy and eager to answer those questions and point things out - is something we pride ourselves on and gives our customers the solid, can't-be-argued-with, first-hand, seen-it-with-my-own-eyes knowledge of the kind of love and expertise we put into all our work. You know what you're paying for, understand it and are 100% secure in us for performing it the way we do. To us, that's a win/win and that's what any relationship should be! Thank you from our hearts for the shining review!"

the work went very smoothly and completed with the quality that I expect.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"I was impressed with the picture! When Glen and I started this business 19 years ago, there were many times where I rolled up my sleeves, tied my hair back (a girl has to look her best at all times!) and accompanied Glen on a lot of the installation work - an exercise I would suggest to all businesses who have service staff and separate office staff. Oftentimes office staff doesn't understand what service staff experience 'out there' on the road and it is true that the service staff doesn't understand the complexities of the office side of things. Both are vital and need to be aware of each other to work effectively for the customers. After all, that's what it's all about, our customers. Period. I learned quite a bit during those sojourns and like to think that I have enough knowledge to at least calm customer jitters when there's an issue that needs to be addressed. These days I don't get to see a lot of the work that the guys do out in the field so it's nice to get a glimpse of the work every now and then. The job came out beautifully and I am so happy that you are satisfied with it! Thank you so much for the wonderful review and becoming one of our customers."

Wow. Companies like Freedom are getting rarer and rarer as the days go on. They are truly exceptional. I bought a house and moved in on Memorial Day Weekend, only to find the house had no hot water. Obviously we didn't need the heat, so this was my only indication that something was amiss. With an infant, hot water is important. After trying a few companies that would not come out for a couple days, I was recommended to Freedom Oil. "No problem," they said, and Nelson came a short while later. Apparently the motor seized, and the boiler would not ignite. Nelson showed me everything, and explained to me what to do the next time this happens so I can save on a service call. Nelson got it up and running, checked the oil quality, chatted a bit, and then went on his merry way, with me having hot water. The following week it happened again. I went through Nelson's checklist and for some reason I still couldn't get it running. I called Gwen (VERY pleasant) who then sent over Glen for a service call. Glen further investigated the issue, and discovered a number of disturbing things. For one, the (forgive me for my layman terms) the thing that would ignite the motor was faulty. In addition, the fuel filter was too small for such a big system. Furthermore, after the burner would shut off, the oil still flowed into the combustion chamber (super dangerous). He showed me that certain valves were placed on the wrong sides, and showed how the radiant heating setup was awful. We discussed the different options at-length. We could do a piecemeal replacing parts here and there on a 40 year old boiler, and hope it solves any problem. We could install a new boiler with a water coil inside for hot water, but not as efficient, or we could install the "Cadillac" of boilers with an additional zone of heat to run through a brand new turbo max water heater. Glen never once pushed me, pressured me, tried to convince me, etc. what to do. He laid out the three scenarios and the prices (which are amazing, by the way), and let me decide. I decided on option three. We now have a Biasi boiler, an additional fourth heating zone to heat our new Turbomax water heater, as well as a new adjustable radiant heat manifold. Glen even replaced the lines going into the oil tank! This was a four day job, and we never went a day without having hot water despite swapping boilers. The work Freedom did was like a work of art. You could tell Glen has a real passion about what he does, and doing what's best (and right) for his clients. Nelson is amazing as well, and will explain things to you even if you're having a hard time understanding and he has to explain again and again. This was the first time I dealt with a company in the trades where I was genuinely sad when the work was done and it was time for them to leave. Freedom, Glen, Gwen, and Nelson are just so pleasant, it's like they're family when they're there. Luckily I haven't seen them since the install since everything is working perfectly. I do look forward to working with them in the future for oil deliveries and maintenance! **Pictures were from the work in progress and not the actual finished project
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Wow! I got a little teary when I read this, as well as overcome with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. I suppose the work you put into this incredible review reflects the work we put into installing the system. It did come out well and the guys were very happy with the outcome. We're also proud that both the scenario and equipment you chose will be of good service to you for many years to come and that we are fortunate enough to be able to walk through those years with you and your growing family! Thank you so much for such a truly resplendent accolade! We are incredibly grateful."

Great service- they explained everything thoroughly and I will definitely use them again
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Thank you for the great review! We're all about relationships. Explaining everything so you understand what we're doing and why we're doing it is important to us. It's the very basis of forging and strengthening a new, good working relationship. We know you're probably not going to start trying to fiddle with your heating system yourself, but even if a customer doesn't have the 50+ collective years of knowledge about oil burners that we do, it is always informative, interesting and fulfilling to watch a person work and explain the whys and what-fors; to see what you're paying for. Thank you again!"

Accolades for a job well-done always go a long way - especially at the end of a long working day - to lift our spirits just that much higher. We really are blessed with the caliber of clients we have and are equally blessed to have you join us with such enthusiasm. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving!"

Greg from Freedom Burner was most professional, reasonable, honest, straight forward, realistic- easily understood, respectful, no 'quick sale talk', (he looks out for the customer's best interest) punctual, informative- prior to every step of the way, as well as afterward, explaining the workings of the new boiler. (I am also about to have him remove my old oil tank, and replace it with a new one- I will give another separate review for that.) Most importantly: his installation of the oil boiler is absolutely perfect. There's no other word for it, he is a perfectionist! As you can see from the picture, it's a brilliant work of art! He obviously loves his work, which is a blessing.. My old 'clunker' was massive and as he’d determined, it had at one time been a coal boiler converted into an oil boiler; it was wasting so much energy and oil. The newly installed Slant Fin Intrepid 3-section Oil Boiler is quiet, efficient, and beautiful by comparison. It's manufacturing plant is located right on Long Island- so it’s optimal for servicing / part replacement and a good price for the value. Greg owns one himself, and so far has kept it running like a charm for 20 yrs- he expects it to continue for another 20 yrs, as it is serviced by himself! Slant Fin's oil boiler's efficiency is 86% which is excellent. His price was very reasonable and fair and he is both licensed / insured. Let me put it to you this way: You cannot possibly get better service than this; it's not possible. And if you do find such honesty and experience, you will pay dearly for it! By far, Greg from Freedom Burner was the best choice I'd ever made in having workers come into my home. It was much like having 'family' - Greg is quiet and unassuming; my trust level having risen to 100%. (and for me, personally, that's saying a lot!) Greg and Freedom Burner is # 1 in my book, and will always be. His wife, Gwen is his business partner and answers the phone; a lovely accompaniment to the business, as I enjoyed talking with her! She was able to respond to most of my questions and was extremely helpful in listening to all of my needs; she carefully relayed the messages to Greg and always got back to me. If I choose to move, I wish I could take his service with me! Best wishes for this business, as it has been built purely by his own integrity, knowledge, sweat, blood and experience- all word of mouth- and having been done so for 40+ yrs! This is 'The Guy'!!!

"Wow! Thank you so much for the shining review! It really makes our day that another new customer is ecstatic over our work. The only correction I will make is that, his name is Glen, not Greg, but that's okay. Your shining review is even more valued to us because you've told us of your past experiences with other contractors that were not only horrendous and unprofessional in the extreme, but felonious in their dealings with you. The story you told us was every homeowner's nightmare and we have a deep sympathy for you and all the folks out there who get bilked by these unscrupulous charlatans. I am so glad you found and and in spite of your initial and understandable reticence, allowed us to perform this installation for you and for the additional installations you are granting us in the near future and availing yourself of our oil delivery service and continued yearly maintenance of your heating system going forward. Trust, especially in this industry, is something that is easily and sacredly kept once you earn it - when your intention is to do the best job, at a fair price so that the new customer stays with you for the long haul, it is a fairly uncomplicated process - but it is always that first step, that first 'yes' where the customer makes the decision to give you their trust enough to come and perform the work or delivery the commodities promised. We've never had trouble with securing that trust and keeping it, but I still have to give thanks and accolades to the fact that even after your previous experiences you still gave us your trust, that initial 'yes' even though you've been burned so badly before. And we are proud once again, that we earned your trust and good opinion. Now you have a new, efficient heating system that won't be emitting fumes, won't cost you an arm and a leg to run, and will be of good service to you for years to come. Thank you too, for sending such a great picture of the custom installation!!"

Everything was done very well. We had clear discussions of what did (and did not!) need to be done, and in the end the price was very reasonable. We will likely only use this company in the future.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Thank you for your kind review and thank you for continuing working with us. You hit the nail on the head when you say we advised on what you do (and don't need) and that we were reasonable. Our goal is to establish a good win/win relationship with our customers from the get go that's why our company mantra is: "Find a company whose people are nice to work with, who do the best job that can be done, and who charge fairly. And you've found Freedom." The customers we want are the ones who understand the value of that mantra, who like working with nice people, who know what they're doing and who understand that we don't compete with the big oil conglomerates or the cheap fly-by-nights where money is concerned - we charge fairly and work honestly. Can't get better than that! Thank you again."

"Thank you so much for the great review. When I read through the other reviews and our responses we sound like a broken record! That is a good thing. We have a simple philosophy about being nice to work with, doing the best job that can be done and pricing our oil and service fairly. We've proven again and again with all of our wonderful customers that this simple, straight forward way of doing things works and always will. It will work through these big oil conglomerates and their ridiculous gimmicks. It works through all these fly-by-night companies who don't invest themselves in their customers and are only interested in getting away with as little time and caring spent for as much money as they can get away with, Thank you for proving, once again, that our philosophy is time tested, customer approved and a pleasure to implement!!"

"Thank you so much for the review. We have a lot of experience dealing with good, reputable landlords such as yourself who understand the importance of keeping their rental property's heating systems maintained and running at peak efficiency. What you understand that other landlords fail to is that this is your property and a small investment that is required for our Annual Maintenance and Safety Diagnostic cleaning is just that, a small investment that will keep your big investment of a rental property running beautifully for you and your tenants. And that small investment pays off huge in affording you, the landlord, a lot of piece of mind where rental property problems are concerned. We have been in your shoes and understand how tenant problems can be an issue - best to decrease those problems with the heating system - the most important appliance in any household - by eliminating them with good solid preventative annual maintenance. It is wonderful working with you on all your properties and thank you again for your trust and faith in us!"

Glen showed up just as scheduled, and put some serious time into his work. All I can say is how impressed I was.
He explained every procedure that he was doing, and it became obvious that he took pride in his work. In the past most other technicians spent maybe 45 minutes at the house working on the heater and burner...Glen was a solid 3 hours. His expertise and knowledge are exceptional. 
All I can say is how happy I am with the service!! I'm so thankful that I found the company.
I highly recommend them.
Response from Freedom Burner Service Inc
"Wow! Thank you for such a stunning review! This is a shining example of why we do what we do. Loyalty and a good working relationship is a two way street, we give it and have it returned simply by doing a good honest job, charging fairly and being pleasant to work with! Our customers return that to us in kind and we are grateful daily for that and for them. I often wonder why other companies would rather spend a lot of time and money on conjuring and selling gimmicks and cutting corners where service is concerned to unknowing customers instead of just doing an exemplary job and caring about what you do??? It's a mystery. Something worth doing is worth doing well and if a company is willfully not doing it well, why bother? They only attract transient customers. That's not us. We've grown this business over 15 years through personal recommendations (which is why we love Angei's List) and 99% of our customers stay with us and give us that elusive trust that we give back to them! It's wonderful! Thank you again!"
