Surner Heating
60 Shumway St, Amherst, Massachusetts, United States

Since 1963, the Surner family has been providing quality fuels and service as well as energy-conservation products to cities and towns in Hampshire and Franklin Counties.  The company began as College Oil Company on September 3, 1963 when founder Ben Surner made his first delivery in a 1946 GMC oil truck he had purchased earlier that summer.  At first the business was operated out of a gas station and repair shop he rented with life-long business partner Steven Fellers.  As time went on, Steve and Ben would part ways when it came to the oil company, but would team up on other energy conservation oriented companies including insulation and energy-efficient window manufacturing firms.  The oil business grew, and in 1968 Ben built the current home of Surner Heating across the street from its initial location.   A common theme throughout the years at Surner Heating has been conservation.  Ben was at the forefront of early energy conservation in the area of heating systems in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  He designed heating systems with outdoor thermostats, replaced boilers and matched them to the house’s heat loss rather than replacing a gigantic oversized boiler with another equally oversized one.  This all began at a time when oil was selling for 20-30 cents a gallon, and conserving energy was not on everyone’s mind.  Although not currently involved in the daily operation of the company, Ben still plays a very active role in the acquisition of oil for our 2.5 million gallon storage facilities in Springfield.  In 1991 the next generation took over; Bruce Montague and Susan Surner took over daily operations of Surner Heating, and Ben’s son Scott Surner joined the team full time in 1999.  The company has continued its growth over the years. In 2009 Surner Heating expanded our service to Franklin County towns by purchasing our second office and fuel storage location on Montague City Road in Greenfield. In 2013 Surner Heating began offering propane deliveries and service. In 2015 we constructed our bulk propane facility with 2 – 30,000 underground propane storage tanks to ensure a plentiful supply of propane for peace of mind and security for the customers we serve.

Surner Heating has decades of experience serving thousands of customers just like you with fuel oil and propane services, including home heating oil and propane delivery, equipment installation, heating and cooling maintenance, 24/7/365 emergency services, and more. Since 1963, the Surner family has been providing quality fuels and home comfort services to Massachusetts homes and businesses across Hampshire and Franklin Counties.

Automatic Fuel Delivery

Another benefit of a full-service company is having the option to choose automatic delivery for your home heating needs. The biggest advantage of the automatic delivery option is that you do not have to monitor your fuel tank for the next needed delivery.  Nowadays, families are constantly on the move and it is very easy to forget to check the level of your tank. With automatic delivery, customers don’t have to worry about running out and possibly enduring an off-route charge for a last minute delivery or, even worse, running out of fuel while away on vacation and having your house freeze up.  We track your usage by our Degree Day Monitoring System. This system continually calculates the fuel usage rate for your home and then automatically generates a ticket for your next delivery. Selecting automatic delivery does not tie you into any fuel plans that we may offer, and pricing fluctuations in the market have no influence on our deliveries. It simply means you don’t want to run out of fuel. To sign up for automatic fuel delivery, please contact us

Propane

Surner Heating provides either call in or automatic propane deliveries. With automatic delivery service you don’t have to worry about running out of propane. Our degree day system keeps track of how much propane you have and automatically schedules deliveries for you.  If you are interested in automatic delivery, please call. In addition we also offer 24-hour emergency delivery services. If you do run out at any time just one call to us and we will dispatch a truck as soon as possible.

Diesel Fuel

Surner offers premium on-road (clear) and off-road (dyed) diesel fuels for use by haulers, farmers, contractors, trucking companies, excavators, service fleets, and anyone else needing diesel fuel.  Whether you need fuel for permanent tanks at your own facilities or for skid tanks and equipment on the job site, we’re at your service.  Our high-quality diesel fuels are weather-adjusted to ensure trouble-free operation of your equipment all year round.  Call us when you need fuel, or we’ll set up a regular delivery schedule if that fits your operation better.  With Surner, you get premium quality products and premium service at very competitive prices.
