I had this company's "service" in two separate homes. The first was a rental, so no choice, but…read morepeople told me he had the lowest prices, and it was years later, so I went with him again in spite of my having experienced him as being rude in the first home. He is not only rude, he is less than honest in his dealing with people. He moved the tank to in front of the gate to my backyard, so I couldn't even use it, and when I told him not to put gas in it because I wanted it moved, he took the tank away. He gave me a snotty little face and wave as he left. Then his wife called me and told me I had $900 on account with them. I told her he took the tank, but he brought it back and put it in the same place, so I told him to move it or not put gas in it. I never got my $900 worth of gas. At first when I called about it, they said, "No, it was only $300 (something)." But that changed to nothing by the next time I called. He is rude and dishonest.

The receptionist took our information and within minutes returned our call stating that a delivery truck was heading our way. Just luck that a truck was in our vicinity, or good customer service? It's nice to know that unscheduled emergencies can be handled courteously and expeditiously. Oh, and the price, we found out later was competitive! Thanks, Columbia Gas!

These folks advertise that they treat you like family. Believe me they don't. They say all the…read moreright things on the phone but as soon as you sign a contract they turn on you. They came and estimated putting in gas lines and tanks and gave me a price. Then the bill came and it was way over the price they gave me. The excuse was that the person who gave me the price was no longer working for them. I don't care about that. They gave me a price and they should honor it. That wasn't the end of their dirty little deeds. They told me that my 1st fill up was at 1.39 a gallon and that from then on it was 2.59. So I get my bill and its 2.79. They said that I was not on a fixed price and that I was on a 3 year contract and subject to market prices. In effect telling me tough. Well the market price in my area today is 2.55. That's 24 cents over market price. Would you do that to family? I think not. So now I have to contact my lawyer and assess my options. Don't let them trick you into a shady deal. Go elsewhere. Everyone is cheaper for oil or propane.

I had a fuel delivery for over &1600 , As a senior I live off my social security check. I spoke to…read morethe customer service nice lady & explained how I am limited to my social security monthly check & that I would pay off the entire bill in three monthly payments, which I did. She agreed which is documented. After sending the last payment I received a $25 late fee bill. When I called, she blamed it on a computer glitch . I received another late fee from Scott for the $25, after trying to explain to him via a number of emails he refused to accept my explanations, all documented. Now First Fuel agrees to forego the $25 finance charge, but will demand that future delivers will be COD. I find your bill policies especially towards senior citizens to be vert predatory. I have never receive a delivery without my account being paid up to date. Winter is coming on & senior citizens get cold too. *

In early April of 2025 I noticed that a patch of lawn was dead, and when I smelled the dirt it smelled of oil. Bags containing absorbant material from the old oil tank had been placed on that spot. I first called the offices at John Ray & Sons on 4/3/2025 to resolve this issue. Since then I have had two no-call, no-show appointments. Two unanswered e-mails, and I have made several phone calls to their office. Eventually someone came out to resolve the issue on 5/2/2025. The solution was to remove as much dead grass as could be removed with a rake and spread grass seed over the area. The grass seed did not germinate in the oil contaminated soil. I contacted John Ray and Sons again on 5/20/2025 and was told that neither one of the customer service reps I had been communicating with were available. 48 hours later I still have not heard from either of them.
