Our History

Bill Maney gave this company its start in 1953 when he bought a small heating oil company with two trucks. He was gregarious and loved the heating oil business, and the company grew steadily under his leadership. We have heard people say that Bill was the first person they met when they moved to town.  iS_14259837_about.jpgBill passed on in 2008, and today the company is managed by two of his children, Paul Maney and Sandra Farrell. Northboro Oil serves approximately 2,400 customers in Northborough, Shrewsbury, Westborough, Berlin, Boylston, Grafton and Southborough.  Sandra Farrell is an activist owner who is deeply involved in the heating oil industry. She has served as president of the Massachusetts Oilheat Council, and in 2008 she testified before a U.S. Senate subcommittee about the urgency of bringing energy prices under tighter control.  Paul Maney joined the family business about 20 years ago. A master plumber and a former electrical engineer, he is licensed to perform installation and air conditioning work. He oversees the Northboro Oil service team and coordinates the companys training programs.

We set your delivery schedule based on the homes past usage rate, then adjust it to reflect the severity of the winter, which we track using a degree-day system. You can rest easy, knowing your heating oil supply is in good hands, with Northboro Oils automatic delivery service.

Safety

Nothing beats the safety record of heating oil. The fuels composition is very different from that of either gasoline or utility gas. For example, heating oil cannot even burn in a liquid state, and it is not explosive. In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees - the temperature at which it begins to vaporize. Thats why you can store a substantial supply of heating oil on your property without risk or regulation. 

Services

• Like a car engine, a heating or cooling system requires periodic preventive maintenance to achieve optimal efficiency and perform reliably. Northboro Oil employs a team of expert technicians and prepares them with regular training and the latest diagnostic tools. With our annual tune-up service, we can keep your boiler or furnace running smoothly and prevent the waste of fuel or electricity. When you enlist in a Northboro Oil service plan, your annual tune-up is included.
• As a Northboro Oil customer, you have the peace of mind that comes with having our expert service team on your side. Were always on call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and if your heating system breaks down, you can count on us to respond promptly. We have the expertise and equipment that it takes to make your home comfortable and safe again without delay.
• Home heating and cooling equipment should be upgraded periodically to take advantage of new developments in technology. At Northboro Oil, we sell and install some of the worlds most advanced home comfort systems. Our installers are highly trained, and they perform installations in accordance with the manufacturers specifications so that the equipment delivers the predicted efficiency.
• A service contract offers two kinds of great protection. First, it includes preventive maintenance, so your equipment receives the regular inspections and tune-ups it needs to run reliably and achieve optimum efficiency. Second, it covers the cost of repairs to many of your systems major components, so you can avoid huge bills in the event of a breakdown.
• Like everything else, the cost to replace a leaking heating oil tank has risen over the past few years. Today, heating oil tank replacement (including disposal of the old tank) can easily cost $2,000 or more.
