In order to keep your heating equipment running safely and at peak efficiency, yearly maintenance is required. Annual tune-up and vacuum cleaning with the addition of a significant list of covered parts supplied at no additional charge. Labor on covered repairs is at no cost and there is no overtime charge.
Deciding how to heat your home can be very confusing, but when you know all the facts, you will undoubtedly choose fuel oil. No, oil heat is the most effective way to heat your home, because it burns more efficiently than gas, propane or electricity.
In a Department of Energy study, oil heat was found to have a much hotter flame than natural gas or propane because it contains more BTUS (1 gallon of oil = 140,000 BTUS, 1 therm of natural gas = 100,000 BTUS, 1 gallon of propane = 91,330 BTUS).Also, with electricity's high cost energy source and the rising cost of base fuels, electric rates are sure to continue to rise.

I am writing to express how pleased I am with my recent Biasi boiler and Riello burner installation. My initial meeting with Randy set the tone as he made many recommendations for a more improved and efficient system of heating and piping. Following this, Bob and Mike installed a new water heater, disassembled the old Blue Ray, rerouted new pipes, re-wired the unit, and presented the final product which in the end look like a work of art.

In 2017, automatic monthly oil service was initiated. Not enough oil was used to equal the monthly payment so a large credit balance was amassed. A boiler tube up was performed and paid for with a credit card. When the home was sold, they also deducted the cost for the boiler tune up from the credit balance in essence charging twice for it. A message was sent through their web site requesting a full accounting of all financial activity, no response. A Better Business Bureau inquiry was submitted and they sent *two* letters, no response. A Pennsylvania Attorney General inquiry was submitted

They deliver our oil and charge a reasonable price - not the lowest, but not the highest. They also service our HVAC and hot water heater. Our oil fired hot water heater recently failed after 14 years, on a Saturday (of course), but they came to the house within a couple of hours to diagnose the problem and had a brand new unit installed by Monday. All the techs they've sent to our home have been first rate.

I've used Galbraith since I move in in 2007. I've had a happy experience with them and now that I'm out of state and leasing the house to a tenant, they've been really helpful working with me remotely. My understanding of the service contract was that it covered the annual maintenance at a discount. I did not expect it to "cover everything" like a home warranty or insurance. Great guys--on time, professional and friendly.

I've been dealing with Galbraith for almost 10 years now. They deliver our oil. They keep both our oil furnace and oil based water heater running. I've also had them replace our hot water tank and out to repair our heater when it went down. I've never had an issue with them. Whenever I have a question someone calls me back right away. Their prices are fair. Their technicians are friendly and happy to address any concerns. I will continue to use and recommend them.

The only reason I am giving them two stars is their service techs are awesome. Other than that STAY AWAY! My wife and I recently bought our first "oil heat" house. I called around and found Galbraith to have reasonable prices. The sales rep who came out was nice and went over a ton with me. When talking about the service contract I commented, " knowing that it covers everything should something go wrong", and he nodded and agreed with me. Fast forward 2 years and the control box that turns the furnace on and off breaks. They fixed it (took 48 hours but I'm not upset) and a week later I got the

DO NOT USE! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DEPLORABLE! Our neighbors utilized this oil company and the service was horrific! Three times the oil truck showed up and three times it left because the truck driver REFUSED to walk up the driveway despite it being shoveled and salted. Our neighbors were not home for the week. The house currently does not have oil and is below 40 degrees. The truck driver was extremely rude. This company is not reliable what-so ever. On a side note, the emergency repair man, Dominic who showed up between the 1st and 2nd attempted delivery to deliver emergency oil (10 gal) was extremely

This company is absolutely the best by far. I had searched all the oil companies in my area and then I came across Galbraith. I spoke to a gentleman named Rich my very first time and he took the time to explain everything I needed to know. Rich got me our very first conversation. His costumer service skills are amazing. He was so sweet, honest and genuine. It's because of him that made my decision to deal with this company. When I finally ordered for someone to come out, Rich took care of everything and within a few hours someone came out. The delivery man was just as great, he is a retired
