I have been getting oil since 2006 and never have I had such great service from a company. Their customer service representatives are so helpful and kind to their customers. Great Company, thank you East River Energy.

Absolute worst service I've ever received. I have had to purchase propane to heat my house for the last 3 years because I am a renter and do not own my propane tanks. At first service was fine, deliveries were relatively prompt, and didn't have an issue getting a quick fill when I accidentally ran out of propane mid winter. But since then they have been incredibly unprofessional, Eric in the office has texted me from his personal cellphone about my bill, one time even saying "are you just not going to pay your bill?" Phyllis in their office was not the slightest bit understand
