Claim This BusinessBrothers Oil Company has kept Central Connecticut warm since 1978, making it one of the longer-operating heating oil suppliers in the Greater Hartford region. The company holds Connecticut licenses HOD#114 for fuel delivery and HTG.0409939-S1 for heating work, and maintains a 3.9-star rating drawn from 109 customer reviews. Based at 486 School Street in East Hartford, the business operates under both Brothers Oil Company for fuel and Brothers Mechanical Services for HVAC installations, serving residential and commercial customers across Hartford, East Hartford, West Hartford, and surrounding towns.
What distinguishes Brothers Oil from regional competitors is its dual capability: the company delivers Premium Bioheat fuel while also performing high-efficiency heating and cooling installations through its Brothers Mechanical division. The website promotes financing options and mentions combining rebates, tax returns, and financing to reduce upgrade costs. Emergency service is advertised 24/7, and service plans cover both heating equipment and water heaters, a practical offering for customers who want scheduled maintenance without individual service calls.
Several reviewers mention specific technicians by name. Dame B recounts that Sonny, Chris, and Rob installed a furnace during a cold snap and answered every question while maintaining professionalism. The same reviewer notes Dan went above and beyond by FaceTiming to walk through a furnace issue remotely. Not every experience was positive, Kassidy describes a dispute over an $899 charge for a Tigerloop Ultra component that retails between $150 and $200, with the company declining to provide an itemized invoice. These contrasting accounts suggest quality varies by technician and job type.
Of 109 reviews, customers who mention emergency situations praise same-day response times and technicians who explained repairs thoroughly. Two negative reviews cite pricing disputes, one customer was denied delivery without an existing account, while another questioned an $899 charge for a $150-$200 component. Positive reviews consistently name specific technicians and highlight communication during repairs.
