      "Who could ask for better service than that!"
      The service technician could have finished his inspection and sent me to the scheduling department for a future repair but instead he called for parts and labor assistance and had me back in service within a few hours.

    We’re delighted with their work
    My wife and I can’t speak highly enough about our experience working with Jason and Josue at Townsend. We had to replace a furnace in our old house before we sold it and a boiler in the new house, and the Townsend team has been professional, timely, and very fair in their prices. We’re delighted with their work, and we will call them for any heating or plumbing challenges in the future.

    I would recommend Townsend Energy to anyone that needs help with a furnace.
    I had a good experience with Tim Carr and Steve Arniel Abin as well. They worked from 8 to 5 getting us the heat we needed. They answered all questions that I had; they explained what they were doing; they went above and beyond. There was a point where Steve met with the inspector and explained that the tanks were in the right place, and the inspector walked away from him. Steve held his temper and asked the inspector to show him on paper what he was saying, and the inspector just left. The inspector came back the next day and passed the inspection. The inspector, Mr. Page, was wrong to say the tanks were wrong; he was going by the business codes, not residential codes. The gentleman who delivered the gas explained the emergency rundown in case of an emergency. I would recommend Townsend Energy to anyone that needs help with a furnace. Also, Crystal in the office sent two heaters to the house when she found out we didn't have any heat for three days. She acted swiftly. We got the heaters that day. She was also very helpful, saying if we needed anything to please call her day or night. All in all, you have great people working for Townsend. Thank you, Tina and Cindy

    Great heat upstairs and in a bathroom
    Townsend has been my service and oil company for 20 plus years. Had a new furnace installed in my 1917 house, which was complicated. Townsend brought in the manufacturer and great service teams who eventually solved the installation problems. I actually get great heat upstairs and in a bathroom that was previously cold! They were terrific and stuck with me to resolve it. Office staff is always responsive.

    We could not be happier with our new Roth oil tank
    One year ago we had our furnace replaced with a Bosch heat pump system. The communication and installation from Townsend Energy was excellent, and we have had zero issues with our new system. When I noticed a pinhole leak in our older oil tank, I called Townsend and they had someone to our door immediately. We had been given an estimate the previous year, so it was very easy to move forward. The installation crew was courteous, thoughtful, and efficient! We could not be happier with our new Roth oil tank and with Townsend Energy for their part. We have been customers of Townsend Energy now for 28 years and have always had great service, communication, and peace of mind.

    Who could ask for better service than that!
    I recently had to change suppliers and selected Townsend based primarily upon their reviews. Being a new "generator only" propane customer, I have to say that so far I am delighted with the customer service. During my new customer tank inspection, a leak was detected underground that has more than likely been there for many years. The service technician could have finished his inspection and sent me to the scheduling department for a future repair, but instead he called for parts and labor assistance and had me back in service within a few hours. This included digging by hand on a brutally hot day. Who could ask for better service than that! If it weren't for the fact that I have been buying my home heating oil from another company for over 40 years, I would probably swap that as well. Thanks again to the two service techs who helped me out to keep my generator ready to run.

    Johnathan Made Sense of It All
    Johnathan is the one person who made sense of the whole install/warranty/service plan, timeline, etc. (FHA gas install in 2025) that is not spelled out very clearly in documentation or online. Taking the time to connect all the dots for us and answering all our questions thoroughly and thoughtfully was really appreciated. THANK YOU J
    Jim H
    Excellent response, excellent service, excellent professionalism
    I have been a customer for over 30 years with the monthly service contract in place. Recently, I detected a minor leak in my original oil tank at 8 a.m. Within an hour, a service person was on site and determined the tank would need to be replaced. By 11 a.m., the recovery crew was here to capture the oil to prevent any spillage incident. By 1 p.m., Derrick Brown, the salesperson, was on-site to offer replacement options. We came up with a plan, and new tanks were installed two days later once they arrived with a 30-year warranty and additional capacity. It could not have gone any smoother. Excellent response, excellent service, excellent professionalism by everyone involved. Thank you.

    Did a great job replacing my garbage disposal
    Chris and Erick did a great job replacing my garbage disposal quickly and efficiently for a fair price. Plumbing work can always be a bit of a shock, but they explained everything clearly and made good use of their time. I'm a longtime B&S customer, so it was great to get Bartlett guys in here!

    He was in and out within an hour
    This morning, when our showers ran cold, my husband discovered leaks from the boiler. Technician Brad Stuart responded quickly and was very professionally friendly upon his arrival. He was quickly able to diagnose the issue and swiftly made his repair while carefully explaining everything to me to make sure I understood what he was doing. He was in and out within an hour, turning a panicked customer into a relieved one in no time. Thank you, Brad!
    Beth Roche
    Simply outstanding service!
    I can’t speak highly enough of my propane technician, Nunzio! From start to finish, the service was nothing short of exceptional. He arrived much earlier than expected, fully prepared, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was working and there were no gas leaks. Not only was he incredibly professional and courteous, but he also took his time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand. He didn’t rush through anything and answered every single question that I had (there were lots of them lol). What stood out most was his commitment to safety—he explained everything clearly, made sure I understood how my system works, and even went the extra mile to offer helpful advice about maintaining the system. It’s rare to encounter such a combination of professionalism, expertise, and customer care. I’m beyond impressed with his work ethic and skill level, and I’ll definitely be calling him for any future propane needs. If you’re looking for a technician who is reliable, professional, knowledgeable, and seems to genuinely care about his work, look no further—this is the person you want. Simply outstanding service! This technician is a true asset to the company, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of propane services. 10/10 experience!

    I highly recommend this company.
    I have had Townsend Energy for many years and would never switch. I had a gas insert put in my fireplace and the Stove Shop in Epping abandoned me after they received my money, but Townsend Energy came through as usual. I highly recommend this company.
    Debbie Lambert
    ABSOLUTELY the Best Company
    ABSOLUTELY the best company. I would give them 100 stars if I could. If you are looking for the propane service, look no further. Any time I need something, they came through. Don’t even start me with AmeriGas, which is completely opposite—nothing but problems and no solutions. Thanks, Townsend, for being there for your community.

    Jonathan exemplifies their excellent customer support.
    We've been Townsend's propane customers for about three years. They're always pleasant on the phone.

    Superior customer service.
    Where do I begin. I needed my propane tank moved, I called and spoke to a pleasant lady who put me in touch with Joe. Joe was professional and answered all my questions. He scheduled the tank move around my work schedule. He made sure I was prepared. Superior customer service. Shane showed up a few days later and laid out options for the tank placement. Again, total professional and an overall pleasant man. He was able to suggest an area to place my tank that I hadn't considered and where it was hidden. Wow. The day of the move, they needed a tank dolly due to restricted access to my yard. Shane needed to adjust the trench for the line and did so perfectly. Steve showed up and helped remove an obstacle that could have thrown a wrench in the job. Over and above my expectations. Nick brought the tank dolly from a pretty far distance. To say these guys worked hard to get this tank moved was an understatement. We hit obstacles and in every case they had solutions. Never a complaint and all smiles. They never got frustrated, and were uber careful when moving the tank. I was more than impressed. They were patient, communicative and believe it or not, we had some fun. These guys worked hard, always had a smile and even cracked a few jokes. Joe followed up with a call the next day to ensure I was happy. Again, wow. This is the quintessential example of superior customer service and customer focused employees. Townsend is lucky to have such dedicated and customer focused employees. I consider myself lucky to have an energy company that hires this level of employee. So to Joe, Shane, Steven and Nick, thank you for making a stressful job fun and pleasant, and thank you so much for your dedication to getting the job done. I'll smile every time I see that tank.
