Smith Oil Co Inc

Smith Oil Co Inc has served Reading and Wakefield, Massachusetts since 1933 as a fourth-generation family-owned heating oil supplier. The company holds a 3.8-star rating across eight customer reviews and provides 24-hour emergency service every day of the year. In addition to residential deliveries, Smith Oil offers commercial fueling, diesel delivery, and generator refueling services throughout the greater Reading area.

What distinguishes Smith Oil is their commitment to preventive service. The company provides an Automatic Delivery program that monitors fuel consumption and schedules deliveries before tanks run empty, a feature one reviewer credited with arriving just before a cold snap. New customers receive $100 in free heating oil when they enroll in this program. Their service technicians arrive with replacement parts stocked on their trucks, enabling same-day repairs without follow-up visits.

Reviewers consistently highlight rapid response times. One customer described calling at 6pm on a Tuesday in November with no heat, receiving a callback within five minutes and a technician at the door within thirty. The technician had the necessary part already on the truck and restored heating in thirty minutes. Another reviewer noted the same-day arrival of a technician who brought a replacement part after an overnight heat loss. A third mentioned the company serviced two company trucks, praising both drivers and the administrative team.
