Absolutely disgusting with this place. My father that had passed away years ago and always took care of him... had always taken care of him now that I took over the place they shut my automatic off because I owe 300 and I paid itearly that morning that night I ran out of propnae.. needles to say I have owed more then that and they never stopped or shut my sensor off with no notice. And now it's my fault I have to pay the emergency bill. And more expensive because I let it go that low. My father never had issues always took care of him and now I get treated like trash

My son was a Hvac tech for Df Richard and was killed recently in a motorcycle accident. This company has started a scholarship in my sons name (Joe Ford) . This company has gone above and beyond and have been here for my family. This company is like family to it's customers and employees. They have a amazing group of people working there!!! Thank you!

The most tone-deaf, disgusting company I've ever dealt with. A loved one dies and they harass us when we don't even have control of the estate. All over a yearly "maintenance fee" for property we don't yet own.
Unbelievable, awful people.

Do not use this company, they are rude and love to rip you off. There are other propane companies that will help you out for cheaper. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere!!:)

Ive found their delivery service for oil and propane very satisfactory. When we had an issue with our furnace, the service was prompt and the technician had what seemed to be a specialized part right on his truck. He was in and out in an hour.
