## The honest read

A recent Google customer had an AC system completely replaced by Blue Flame in one day: five trucks arrived around 8:30 AM, and by 4 PM both systems, one upstairs and one downstairs, were working. The company says on its website that it has been in business 97 years and offers repair and installation for air conditioning, heat pump and mini split systems.

A 2025 customer wrote that the company handled their oil delivery and yearly service of the hot water heater and furnace, and installed a new hot water heater that year. A 2025 customer wrote that Blue Flame had supplied their oil for many years and that an annual furnace maintenance found some issues, which led them to switch to propane. A 2026 customer said they used Blue Flame for oil and furnace maintenance for 11 years while living in CT. A 2025 customer described an emergency oil tank leak: Blue Flame came out the same day to assess it and had a new tank installed within two days.

A 2025 customer said that after other businesses couldn't come out for 2-3 days, Blue Flame came right away, and Nick and Ryan diagnosed the issues and had them running again in a couple hours with parts in stock on the truck. A wtnh.com report has described employees at Blue Flame Oil working around the clock to deliver heating oil and fix frozen pipes. On r/newhaven, a reddit commenter wrote in 2025 that Blue Flame and Apple Oil had gotten them out of some jams in the past.

A recent customer called the work professional but misleading and expensive: they said the company quoted one price for moving an oil line, later said the whole line would have to be replaced at a higher cost, and the final bill was higher still. A 2023 customer said a furnace cleaning was billed at double the price quoted on the phone. A 2025 customer who had switched to mini splits said the company came twice more after being told it no longer needed to deliver, and later declined to reimburse their oil after a technician had said it would. A 2026 customer said they contacted the company through its website and sent two follow-up emails but heard nothing beyond an auto reply.

**Strengths:**
- A one-day AC replacement — a recent customer said both systems worked by 4 PM
- Oil tank leak response — a 2025 customer got a new tank within two days
- Quick AC repair — a 2025 customer said parts were on the truck

**Concerns:**
- Oil line quote — a recent customer said the final bill was higher
- Furnace cleaning bill — a 2023 customer said it was double the quote
- Unanswered website inquiry — a 2026 customer heard nothing beyond an auto reply
