I've lived in Belmont for 60+ years. Freiner's has been a great company in the past, and I hope…read morethey will be again in the future. However, my most recent experience has been horrendous! My tenant had lost hot water. I called for emergency service. The technician explained that the stores are closed and if he needed parts, he would have to come out again. So, I made an appointment for the following morning (Today). 8:30 - no call. 9:00 - no call. This continues until I call them around 10:30. I'm told they have no record of anyone returning my original call to their answering service. I explained I spoke to their technician, who returned my call within 10 minutes (Which impressed me), and that he made an appointment to come and fix it this morning. They responded with a, granted rather polite, way of saying it sucks to be me and they can get to me sometime on Friday!!! I now have a very unhappy tenant and am back on the hunt to find a plumber as fast as possible. So, be very careful when booking appointments with them and make absolutely certain that you have a back up plan!

I've used Knight for both heating oil and propane (for appliances) for about 4 years. They have…read moregreat customer service on the phone and for maintenance and repairs. Here's proof. Our furnace broke last night on Dec. 22nd... ...At 10:30pm ...In 20 degree weather ...On a Friday. The on-call repair person called me back within 5" of my call. He walked me through some things i could try on my own, but nothing worked. I was OK with waiting for a service call until the morning, but he said, "No, it's too cold. I'll be there in 20 minutes." (Think about that. He insisted on coming.) ...And he was here in 20" ...And he had the parts ...And we got our heat back ...At 12:30am when he left 12:30am!!!! Middle of the night crisis averted, thanks to Knight Fuel Co. I highly recommend them.

We chose the Knight system for $19K and it was installed in 1 day. They also processed the partial home rebate to get almost a $6K rebate from MassSave.
