    Status:
    Answered
    Prepaid $2639.45 for 550 gallons of oil back in May of 2022. I was on auto fill so that they came when they felt I needed a delivery. The contract was for June 28, 2022 - May 31, 2023. I stayed with the company for the terms of the contract. I have since decided to change companies and go with a local company. I called Brideau Energy informing them that I was changing companies and would like my money back. I had 141.8 gallons of #2 heating oil left @ $680.50. I was informed that I would receive a check in the amount of $466.52 and have to pay for the remaining oil at the price for which was $213.98. I understand the contract but, as far as I'm concerned I stayed with them for the period of time of which the contract was active. Furthermore as of right now I have under 1/2 a tank of oil. I guess I just don't understand how I have 1/2 tank of oil, they have my remaining gallons of which could have gone into my tank and they'll make a profit selling to someone else what I already paid for. Thanks

    Purchased my home 8/2020. Brideau came to service my water heater and inspect oil tank. Left their Brideau tag on the system with their work performed contact info. We used Brideau for a while for our oil deliveries. Like everyone else during the pandemic prices were rising. I was shopping around to get the best reasonable prices. I was referred by an assoc to use **********.com bc of their prices. (A sister company so to speak) Brideau trucks/ drivers employed by them delivers that oil. My review/complaint was the lack of customer service when I called at 8am in a panic to a basement covered in water. When they answered my call, she asked me for my account info. She confirmed that in 2021 I had services done. I was a prior customer, but she did notice and state to me that I was using **********.com now. I explained to her that I shopped around & I dont have one specific company (like Brideau) that we use **********. She didnt ask if I wanted to become or better yet reactivate my account with THEIR company, nor did she say OK well, let me see what I can do to possibly schedule you an appt to have someone come out to take a look and see what we can do to help you. Im sure she could hear the frustration and panic in my voice. **********.com I am sure has a burner company they use for issues that arise for their customers then? Could she have recommended them? So because Brideau doesnt deliver my homes heating oil you just tell customers to ****** a burner company in your area and to have a nice day Imagine if that was an 85 yo calling in? Awful customer service, will not use them anymore or their **********. Unfortunately my 1 bad review clearly will mean nothing to them. I am sure their 14,000+ real customers fill their pockets each week. I just hope that a potential customer may by chance read this and think twice.(Only chose 1 star bc I had to, to get my review published
