Company called to tell me I was at the end of my contract and that theyd like me to sign on for another year. Gave me an exorbitant price - way more than my introductory level (which was actually high to begin with). I declined, found another oil company, and called to let Dominick know I would not be renewing. The customer service rep SCREAMED at me for some time and completely freaked me out, the anger was so sudden and unexpected. I hung up and proceeded to communicate with them only by email from then on. I assumed they would not renew my contract and that our relationship was done. Two weeks later, I am told that they delivered another round of oil and that I owed them over $2000! I asked how it was possible that they would deliver oil after we had so obviously and rancorously parted ways and was told they couldnt stop the delivery! This, in a time of telecommunications - call the truck driver and cancel! You had two weeks to do that! This final delivery is one I refused to pay for. I couldnt tell if it was sheer malice on Dominicks part, if the sales person who yelled at me was embarrassed to admit hed been so awful, or what. I did send them a check for $1600 or so, which was what had rightfully, if expensively, been delivered.And then they sued me. For $814. Took me to small claims court, in a process that dragged on for more than a year, due to Covid. Just a warning, if youre thinking you want to use this company. Never once did they communicate that this fee had been hidden in my original (and illegible) contract - which, if Id known was the case, would have been helpful. Helpful is the antithesis of this company. Caveat emptor.
I have used Dominick for a long time. I have had 4 heating companies since buying this house 30 years ago. They have been the best so far. Very responsive, and most of the time their techs are top notch. I think maybe once I had a problem it took a few tries to solve, but they stick with it and get it done. I recommend them without reservation.
Jim and Steve were great! Having Jim come out was like getting a private tutor for a course on how to maintain our new home. Steve did the heating maintenance professionally and was exceptionally thorough and neat. I am extremely happy with Dominick Fuel so far and highly recommend them. I just moved from Westchester where I was with my previous heating company for 22 years so my expectations were high and they were more than met.
Identified the need to replace our oil tank and replaced it within a day. We use them for oil and propane delivery as well as maintenance of all our equipment. A wonderful family run business. A pleasure to deal with.
The tech showed up and fixed our issue within 1hr of my initial call to the service department. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable and professional
They are awful, after calling me to pay the year maintenance service in January knowing that I get oil from them only when I call for fuel, they tried to say that my service was cancel on February 10 because I wasn’t on automatice. The reason for them saying that was because I called for a service and it was greater than what I paid. They are crooks.
Fantastic as always. Been with them since 1999; never even considered leaving!
This summer Dominick Fuel installed our Central AC system and we could not be more pleased. The work performed by Ted, Dominic, and Jose were superb, quick and efficient. I highly recommend their services...
Nasty, really nasty company. I believe they deliberately withheld information while we were having a home energy emergency, just to make it difficult or impossible for us to take action to correct the situation. In other words, we believe they deliberately withheld information in order to make it harder for us to resolve the emergency. As to why they would do that, I dont know - but there is something wrong with these people. In essence, we turned to them in good faith for help during our energy emergency, willing and able to pay, and instead of helping us - they intentionally toyed with us, causing the emergency to drag on, apparently for their own sport and amusement. A really, really nasty company. They advertise they will help you, but instead they harm you. remarkable that a company in CT would do this.
Dominicks Fuel excels in service, response and full customer service. Having been a customer of theirs for 22 years. They were always responsive when they were needed for a service call. Most recently when I sold my home in July, they helped provide the lawyer with all the documents needed from them in a timely manner,for the closing. Over the years they installed a new furnace. New oil tank in the basement. after the original one from 1930 was removed from in the ground .
Steve was super helpful and professional!
Great job on both
We are customers since years and they always respond quickly if we need them and do a great job. Love the service
I have been a customer for a few years with Dominick fuels now andtheir customer service has been great.I had schedule a service call and Jose the service technician was courteous and professional, he took is time and did a thorough job on my boiler.over all, im very satisfied with their service!!!
I am currently going through a major renovation at my home. Dominick Fuel has been my oil provider for a few years. I was always happy with the delivery of oil and my new addition was going to be propane. I contacted Dominick and they sent out a technician to just talk to me about what I was looking to do. From that moment Dominick was always in touch in regards to my needs, timeframes, and information that I would need to make my final decisions. When I needed someone from Dominick to come out talk to my contractor again Dominick Fuel came out to discuss the plans for my house. Every email I sent was answered in a quick and timely manner. Every phone call was returned when expected. When it was finally time to install my 3 120 gallon propane tanks I knew when I came home I would be happy with the work that was done. As the project at my house continues it can bring some anxiety but none in regards to my Heating/Air/Propane/Oil needs. I appreciate all that Domnick Fuel has done for my home and family.
Ive been a customer for 15 years, and they always know the equipment and keep it running, avoiding unexpected breakdowns. Professional, prompt, always a pleasure.
Steve came to do my cleaning service and he was on time, and efficient with getting the job done. He also talked with me about my oil tank and line. He seemed to have taken his time to do a thorough job. Thanks Steve.
We recently had our boiler and AC serviced. We have been with Dominick Fuel for a very long time, so long I cant even remember how many years! We are very happy with the service we receive, but even happier when we know that they try to send the same people. Robert, for instance, knows our AC system inside and out. We always request Robert because we know that we are going to get exceptional service when he shows up.
Always a first class experience with Dominicks. Quick to respond, same day call out, polite and professional. Highly recommend using Dominicks for all your heating needs.
Called Dominick Fuel to troubleshoot water heater not working. Steve arrived on time and was able to determine the cause which was not immediately apparent because the unit was not a common one in usage. He had to travel two towns away to purchase the part and spent much more time that is usual for this call because of the part situation.Throughout the trying time he remained pleasant, positive and committed to helping us resolve this problem. I am grateful to him and Dominick Fuel for their knowledge, professionalism and courtesy. I definitely would recommend them for your heating and cooling needs.Jack Drinkwater
Excellent service!! We had our AC replaced and Ted gave us a fair quote and quickly had the parts here and technicians on site. Jim and Scott were our technicians and they were outstanding: Polite, personable, and knowledgable. I highly recommend Dominick Fuel!
As always, Dominick is quick to respond and flawless in their execution. We have had the privilege of working with Ted and Dominick for over 26 years now, in two homes, and would never think of changing. Ted has been our savior on more than one occasion. Even the dog looks forward to his visits! The entire team is excellent and the office staff is friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend them.
Technician was great. Did a complete job quickly and clean. I’ll never use anyone else.
John D. came for annual boiler inspection/cleaning. He was efficient and personable. Hope to see him again next year. Thanks.
Dominick Fuel has kept my 25yr old system running smoothly for the past 3 years, with timely email reminders for annual maintenance service.It’s an added peace-of-mind that their service technician (John D.) has familiarity with my system, having serviced it for the previous homeowners. :)
We had a great experience signing up with Dominick Fuel and have been very happy with their service and the contract we negotiated. Highly recommend.
The service tech, Juan V. who assisted us was very nice and helpful! 10/10 would recommend.
Prompt, professional, and courteous. The toddlers were running around like crazy so they worked around them and were kind enough to close the baby gates behind them. Thats the attention to service that goes a long way.
Connor was on time, neat and professional. Knowing that our home is on the market, he took the extra time and cleaned the top of the furnace and neatened up cables. He even made a special trip to the office to get the correct size filter and an additional missing part. I highly recommend his services!
Hands down best family run fuel service company to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the vicinity. Best prices, best customer services, fair and honest. They will help you in anyway possible and will answer all your questions promptly and accurately.
Have been using them for fuel delivery for a few years and they are reasonably priced. They came to my house Thanksgiving weekend to fix my heat which stopped working due to a clog in the oil tanks. We had no heat and they came within 2 hours. Fixed the problem. Terrific service.
Great company initially when signing up or moving from another. Incredibly responsive and caring - in the beginning. Just like car dealerships, they are fantastic getting the customer in the door and poor at making an effort to maintain that relationship. Sadly, the longer a customer, the less Dominick Fuel appears to care, there is a failure to listen to and/or respond to customer inquiries often at all, and the customer with questions is seen and treated as a nuisance to be dismissed rather than an asset for the company. Truly disheartening and frustrating, particularly when I firmly believe(d) in supporting hometown business.
Dominick Fuel is great. They have always been easy to work with and readily available to help when my furnace has needed emergency servicing. Great business, I would recommend to anyone.
Very careful and prompt service for a furnace that was emitting fumes. Also it was leaking water due to a waterpipe that had an obstruction and another technician remedied that. Dominick gives prompt and very good service.
When our old oil burner finally gave out on a cold day in March, Ted and the crew were right on the spot to remove the old one and put in a brand new efficient model. We had our heat back in no time and cant thank Ted and everyone at Dominick enough as always for the great service. We have been Dominick customers for 19 years now and are always satisfied with the excellent customer service
This is a wonderful company!!! We ran out of fuel this morning and with one pleasant phone call My family home was warm again! The delivery truck arrived at 130 this afternoon and started up our burner for us also! The delivery men were kind and super helpful they saved the day!Thank you and God Bless!
Have been a customer of Dominick Fuel, Inc. for 40 years. Family business that treats customers as they would like to be treated. Company and employees have always been fair, honest and do good work when promised. Always respond to your needs promptly. Office personel and technicians are friendly and professional. A business that is run old school -- the way dedicated people used to run a business. Highly recommended.
Dominicks staff has always been reliable and efficient. They arrive for appointments on time, and they dont rush through a job. Friendly and courteous, too.
Steven G. was exceptionally efficient and thorough. Excellent service.
Thanks for taking your time on the job. Steve was very courteous and professional as are all of the guys from Dominick Fuel. He also cleaned up when he was done which is always much appreciated!!
My system back on track the same day!! The customer service person quickly assessed the situation and got a technician out that morning. The tech was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked fast. Even sourced the part I needed all in a matter of hours. Thank you Dominick Fuel!!
The response to our request for service on our A/C was handled promptly and the technician was friendly, courteous and fully explained what he was doing and the estimated cost of the work.
Dominick S. from Dominick Fuel did a great job fixing the burner on our furnace. It was going out and making a grinding noise as it tried to light. He diagnosed it, replaced an internal part and has us up and running in about 15 minutes. He was also patient and took the time to talk about an issue we were having with our air conditioning unit.
Professional and pleasant. Jose provided great service with a positive attitude. Would recommend this technician for boiler service. Thanks Jose.
Arrived on time. Completed the service. Provided feedback. All good.
We switched to Dominick Fuel this season and they have been so helpful. Called the other morning with a questions and a concern about our boiler and they had a service person here in less than 2 hours. Problem fixed and the guys were great! Thanks Dominick Fuel!
Dominick has been giving our family great service for over 30 years!We had a pipe burst above our boiler in our mechanical room this past weekend - Dominick was at our house within an hour. Even though, the broken pipe wasnt part of the boiler system they identified the source of the problem and diverted the water until the right person could address it. We love Dominick Fuel!!!
Technician was very professional and polite and very knowledgeable about my system
Great customer service! I would recommend Dominick fuel to anyone. Every one I have spoken with at Domenick has always been very nice. And they are very responsive.
Quick response, great service and very knowledgeable technician. We are extremely happy with Dominick Fuel. We have worked with two other major HVAC companies and Dominick outshines them all.
Alvaro was on time, polite and very efficient. Very nice man and professional
Bright, affable young man. Quick and efficient
I was a customer of Dominick Fuel for about three years when we lived in Norwalk. They are a reliable oil delivery company and always delivered service (heat and air conditioning) whenever we needed it.However, I cannot recommend Dominick to friends and family. The overall service wasnt great and I feel that they took advantage of my family when they didnt tell me when my contract was about to expire and I had to pay higher price per gallon .The contract is set for a single year and apparently its up to you (the customer) to remind them to extend it or you will get the current price on monthly basis. Not sure whether this is a common practice in the industry but our rep was extremely rude when we question the price hike and why no one called us to remind about the contract expiration.Think twice before signing the contract with Dominick Fuel - do ask about their intro / new customer price and also what happens when your contract expires.Dominick Fuel, you should never yell at your customers and treat all issues with respect. This is one thing that find completely unacceptable when dealing with yours reps.
Dominicks service has always been up to par, ontime and expertly done.
I ran into a problem with water in my oil I called Dominic because I had no heat. The guy came out he told me I had wate r in my oil so he did what he to do. He took me around the house he checked every opening he told me everything was sealed shut. Next my ex-sister in law tells me that I cant get anymore oil till we put in a new oil tank! What? They cost 5,000 that I dont have. I called them left a message with the girl. Never got a call back!!, If the oil guy said everything was sealed shut why a new oil tank? When Dominick was here fixing the problem I had to call the office for a price at that point they told me it was not a big deal I would only have to pay for his time. They sure made it into a big deal a 5.000 deal. So where do we go from here? If your oil guy said, everything was shut tight I ended up going to the company they are rude and they dont tell the truth. I had a furnace guy come out I needed my radiators bleed what I was told is that my furnace was never serviced!, What! They came every year for the past 20 or more years to do a cleaning it was not serviced in years i was told. Be aware of what they are doing my ex-father in law was taken advantage of for years from them they are the worst oil company
Efficient, trustworthy, professional, reliable and always on time. Maybe a little more $ than some of the others, but they stand by their work and get the job done.
Thank you Ted for your super-fast and perfect service - I could not have been more pleased. Its all working perfectly
This company is horrible and the woman that answers the phone is disgusting. We were charged $1000 3 weeks ago and it seemed like there was a problem with the charge. I called and after being on hold for 15 min the phone person came back to tell me she had absolutely no idea why I was charged and would send someone out. The gentleman that came out told me that I had plenty of oil and the office said they were refunding me and I wouldnt need a delivery until the spring. Today I woke up to another 1000 charge from Dominick and they already delivered. When I called the office again I was insulted and told that I have some personal problem going on and it wasnt their problem. Then she hung up on me. What??? A personal problem??? Dominick fuel has no control over their work orders and zero customer service. Im taking my card off of their automatic delivery until I find someone else to work with. If you want thieves with no class, these guys are for you.
We have experienced the Dominick Professional Service for 24yrs now! Excellent products, professional service and execution by all of their staff!Thank you for spoiling us with our home service needs! We would NEVER switch to another provider!Deborah Ann Docimo and Joseph Chiappetta, Jr.
I have been really happy with my heating/cooling company, Dominick Fuel. They have been doing the maintenance on my HVAC systems for about a year, and I purchased heating oil from them all winter. Whenever I call them, Mike is friendly and helpful and remembers me personally.The other day Teddy came to do the annual check-up on the air-conditioning system, and did such a professional job. He was on time, respectful of me and my home, highly knowledgeable and very efficient. He located a problem with the system and thoroughly explained what was wrong, and what repairs were needed.I will continue using Dominick Fuel and appreciate their great service!
We got hit with super storm Sandy. Massive damage. Dominick was a life saver. Kept us with heat during very trying and busy times. They have been great. A friend in need; so to speak!
Easy IN / DIFFICULT OUT ! Your loyalty doesnt count even after 35 years !20 % more expensive heating oil and 35 % more expensive maintenance plans than local competition such as the giants SANTA FUEL & STANDARD OIL.We have been with Dominick for over 35 years ! . For the first time I looked at their rates ( on our invoice) compared to the market and realized we could have gotten better deals elsewhere (40 cents - 60 cents, less per gallon ) and I am not talking about those 1 truck company or COD ( cash on delivery ).We called Dominick several times and tried to work something out or at least get out safely - The lady who answers the phone ( Debra ) was not allowed to address simple account issues, thus never had the answers. She had to transfer the calls to her boss, Charlie who had no idea what he was talking about and was quick to push back before he even got the question.The big break came when I spoke with Mrs. Sandy Dominick : ) - She was very pleasant and personable and she offered us a discount (though it was still not at a competitive rate).We switched to Santa Fuel which supplies also some of our neighbors with heating oil.after speaking with Ms. S Dominick, I have added 2 more stars ( update from * to *** ) .We wish Dominick company and Dominick family the best.
Great service, very knowledgeable and very reasonable.
Great service from friendly professionals.
Dom seems to be thorough
We had a difficult financial year this year and was hoping to get on their payment plan option, but their policies make that inmpossible for a family of 5 that has fallen on hard times. To top it off they left a voicemail saying not nice things about us after they thought they hand hung the phone up. Family company my butt. After being a customer for 5 years I’ll will be looking elsewhere.
I am a new customer with Dominick Fuel and was very impressed with the professional and courteous service of their technicians when they made some repairs to our system.
Great service!
Great people most of the time
You guys are the best
Steve was excellent
All time worst company..Charged a rate that was 50 cents above market..far too many other oil companies out there..no need to do business with them.
4 stars for Steve
