Consumer Comments for Petro Home Services

Consumer from Fairfax Station, VA
Jan 07, 2024

Although they are prompt and responsive, with lower oil delivery cost than some other companies, their service technicians have proven to be incompetent, causing more harm than good on our heating system.

Consumer from Washington, DC
Oct 09, 2022

Have used Petro for 30 years for oil delivery and for maintenance of heating and air conditioning systems.

Consumer from Vienna, VA
Jun 02, 2021

Constantly change the arrival time for reasons that they knew about when appointment was booked. Say they are sending the requested service person and someone else shows up. Oil prices higher than everyone else. Just terrible customer service - every time. Service techs have been ok although having to have tech come back within 2 weeks for a repair.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
