As a new homeowner in Farmingville with oil heat, I have basically narrowed my chosses down to Marran or Petro. I will likely be getting a contract with a ceiling price. This is more for piece of mind right now, though I know COD might be the way to go, but I just can't ignore the possible service need in the dead of winter.
Anyway, any reviews on the 2 companies would be appreciated, or if there is a better alternative out there that I missed, I would be happy to hear the info. I am at a third of a tank (250 gallon), right now. So I need to make this decision fairly quickly.

Thanks in advance
Petro service is outsanding...but youll pay for it.
Had Marran for 17 years in my last house (currently have gas).
Very satisfied all around - fair pricing, GREAT service when I needed it (night, weekend - no matter) and within a reasonable time, i.e. a few hours. They make good on everything they promise!
If I ever have another house with oil - for me it'll be Marran, period.
Thank you for the responses. I will get quotes from both.
Is there any others out there someone could comment on for the Farmingville area??
Thanks
I switched from Petro to Blue Flame. They let you lock in for the winter at a much lower price than Petro. Petro will try to talk you into the price with a ceiling as their lock in is very high. I was able to negotiate a credit that offset the cost of my service contract. I locked in when oil was at $70 a barrel so I'm not sure what they will offer you now. I was told Petro buys their oil from Blue Flame.

Salesman that helped me- 516-369-1154 Don't worry about the 516 exchange he works in Suffolk. I shopped around and they were the cheapest other than the cod companies. They have a budget plan as well but I think your too far into the season for that. Good luck.

How much do they charge for the service contract? Thanks.
I believe it was around $100 but as I mentioned in an earlier post I negotiated with them and got a credit that offset the cost of the service contract.
