      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I received a delivery of 214.3 gallons of oil on 12/18/23. The following day, my hot water heater shut off and I had to reignite. I didn't think much of it at the time. I did, however, call Petro and complain that they waited too long to fill my tank and that I had never, in over 20 years of living here, had that much oil delivered. One week later on 12/27/23 my hot water heater shut off again. While I was able to reignite, I promptly called Petro to come out, I was told I would have a diagnostic charge of $99.00. "e" came out and the first thing he asked was did I just get oil delivered to which I responded, "I got a delivery last week of over 200 gallons". "e" explained that when the tank gets too low air gets in the lines and will continuously trip the hot water heater. The solution was to blow the lines out, which he did. It has not happened again. Unfortunately, I received a bill for $324.31 a week later. I promptly called to dispute the charge because it was a result of their error and not mine. I was called back by Jackie @ ###-###-#### on 1/9/24 and told the charge would be reduced to $99.00. I promptly called back and said the charge should be $0. Jackie returned my call on 1/10/24 and said she was removing the diagnostic charge also. There has been no adjustment to my account and I still have an outstanding balance for $324.31. Please assist me in getting this charge removed. I shouldn't have to keep calling.

      Do not sign up for a lock in plan for oil with this company. I specifically asked the representative that sold me the plan, if cash on delivery oil prices came down to much lower than what our cap price was would our delivery be charged at the lower rate/ going market rate and I was told yes. I completely understood that it would never be quite as low as cash on delivery price but it has not once even been remotely close. My cap price is $4.80 per gallon. Every auto delivery we have had our price per gallon has been an average of $4.50 per gallon when cash on delivery prices have been around $3 or lower. Today we paid $1.35 more per gallon. Not forthcoming enough and can’t wait to be done with this contract.
