We Are Family Owned and Operated Since 1946
MacFarlane Energy Founder, Peter MacFarlane, was born in Boston's South End in 1919. Son to a widowed mother of three, Peter began working in the oil business at the age of 12. He worked part time, after school, delivering oil in five-gallon cans.
Following his service in the Pacific Theatre of World War II, Peter returned to the oil business he had worked for before the war. He worked there until 1946 when he purchased the business and established Peter MacFarlane Oil Inc.
MacFarlane Oil started as a one-truck operation. Peter delivered the oil, serviced the burners, and installed new equipment by himself. Peter's wife Frieda managed the bookkeeping and correspondence, while raising a family of five.
Since MacFarlane Oil's inception in 1946, we have continuously achieved new levels of performance. Peter worked to improve the Waltham Shell Head burner, along with Stanley Peterson from the Waltham Oil Burner Company.
Since the passing of Peter MacFarlane in 1987, his son Scott has operated MacFarlane Oil. A Needham resident, Scott continues this tradition of self-improvement in order to pass the benefits on to our loyal customers. He is an active member of the Needham Rotary Club for over 30 years and served as Chairman of the Massachusetts Oilheat Council and a Director of the New England Fuel Institute, the Massachusetts Oilheat Council and the American Energy Coalition. Scott has also served on numerous energy related committees throughout his years of service in the company.

Our Experts Deliver Superior Service
The biggest difference between MacFarlane Energy and our competitors is the outstanding performance of our service department. It is easy to take heating and cooling technicians for granted, but there are differences from company to company that affect your bottom line.
For example, new heating and cooling equipment must be installed with precision to deliver maximum comfort and perform at peak efficiency. In fact, the U.S. Energy Star program reports that an imperfect installation can diminish equipment efficiency by 30 percent.
Technicians are the only line of defense between you and an equipment breakdown. MacFarlane Energy technicians are well prepared and committed to serving you. They inspect components carefully, make proactive repairs and adjustments, and report any significant findings to you.
MacFarlane Energy technicians deliver superior performance every day, because they are fully prepared. We have a dedicated training facility at our Dedham headquarters where technicians receive regular training from our managers and manufacturers' representatives. They carry advanced diagnostic equipment. Their service vans are well stocked with replacement parts. MacFarlane Energy employs more technicians per customer than most companies, so our service is prompt and our technicians give your service call or installation the time it deserves.
This ensures prompt service by our technicians to your service call or installation. MacFarlane strives to maintain a good staff-to-customer ratio.
