Gill Oil Inc.

Gill Oil is a two-person heating-oil outfit on Argyle Street in Winthrop, and its BBB page says it has been at it since 1984 — 42 years — with Kevin Gill listed as the owner. Fuel oil is the whole business as BBB categorizes it. The written history is short. One customer wrote in 2023 about calling after work on a cold night, almost out of oil, telling the answering service that the next day would do; Gill called back within fifteen minutes and delivered the oil himself around 8:15 that evening. That is the only review on file, and Google shows a 5-star average from two ratings. What that means for a homeowner: there is one specific, favorable account of an after-hours delivery from three years ago, and not much else written down either way. BBB itself says it does not have enough information to issue a rating. A small local oil company with a long tenure and an owner who answered his own phone once — worth a call for delivery, but ask directly about current pricing, delivery terms, and whether they handle burner service, since none of that is spelled out anywhere public.
