Brideau Energy is a Fitchburg heating company that delivers oil and propane and installs and services boilers and furnaces, with 4.7 stars from 516 Google ratings. In a 2026 review, a customer said Dean came over the same afternoon they found an oil leak on their tank, and that Kris and his team later installed the replacement tank. The company's website says Mark Brideau founded Brideau Oil in 1987 and grew it through acquisitions including Harrington Oil in 2021. A 2025 customer said Brideau installed a new oil tank in 3 hours, a job that included draining the old one, removing it, running new lines and exhausts, and replacing the drained oil. A 2023 customer said the company removed an old oil boiler and tank and installed a propane combi boiler, and that the plumber came up with a way to avoid going without hot water during the installation. In a 2024 review, a customer said the company brought a portable water heater while converting them from oil to propane. A 2025 customer said a technician named Muhammad fixed their broken furnace quickly. A 2024 customer said they paid over $600 to have the company winterize their forced-hot-water system, and that when it was turned back on in April their second floor flooded from pipes that had burst in 7 places; that customer said the technician did not add the correct amount of antifreeze. A 2024 customer said an annual tune-up was followed by a chemical smell that left the house nearly unlivable for a few days, and that the technician would not allow more oil deliveries unless they signed a $5k tank replacement proposal for a tank that another company confirmed was not leaking. In a 2023 review, a customer said their tenants were charged $50 for a prime and that the unit stopped working less than an hour after the driver left. A 2025 customer said Brideau installed their furnace in December 2024 and then would not honor its one-year warranty because they do not buy oil from the company. In a 2026 review, a customer said the company would no longer service their furnace because they buy oil elsewhere, and that oil prices had been higher than other companies'. A 2025 customer said a repair took approximately 45 minutes but the company billed for an hour and a half, and that the company was rude when they called. A 2025 customer said a technician looked at their boiler and left in under 2 minutes, and that they were then billed $130 and charged interest. A 2025 customer said the company over-delivered on their contracted oil quantity for the third year in a row. In a 2025 review, a customer said an oil delivery promised in 2 days still had not come by the third day. A 2026 customer said the company overfilled their tank and tried to charge them for it. A 2026 customer with two tanks said the company refused to reimburse two pre-paid cleanings that were not done, and that they filed a complaint with the Massachusetts DPU. An HVAC licence, number 16006-SM-A, held by Sean D Stever, is expired on the state registry.

The day we discovered an oil leak on our oil tank, Dean came over the same afternoon to take a look and quote our replacement. Today, Kris and his team came to install our tank replacement and did an exceptional job. They were very respectful and they clearly work well together. Kris was also very thorough with explaining everything I needed to know. We have always had an awesome experience with Brideau and appreciate the relationship we have them as a customer. Thank you for a job well done!
I Just wanted to say thank you to the wonderful team. Mark P came to help us with the issue with our Boiler. He explains where and what the issue was. He was very friendly and professional. He was very competent at what he was doing, answered all my questions and concerns. Good to know that the company we trust all these years ensure they have excellent technicians to take care of our heating and pluming. Tank you Mark P and the Brideau Energy team.
Overfilled my tank and tried to charge me! Now you lost a customer. Buyer beware this company doesn’t know what they are doing and charges too much. There are much better companies who don’t try to scam you.
If I could give them a 0 star review, I would. Look at all of their bad reviews. Everything I've stated, other customers have complained about. That tells you what you need to know about this company. One of the worst companies I've ever done business with in my life. We've cancelled our account and have replaced them in the middle of winter because they were going to let our tanks run out of oil for a third time over this weekend. They refuse to reimburse for cleanings that I've pre-paid on contract with them that were not done. We have two tanks and pre-paid for two cleanings that were not done. Mark told me over the phone that it's perfectly legal to not reimburse for this. I've filed a complaint with the Massachusetts DPU. They already tried to deliver down a mile long driveway, the morning after a major storm, without any notice. When they couldn't do that, they weren't going to deliver until we ran out and said we could call the office if we did (for an extra emergency fee, of course). I spoke with Mark Brideau personally and he doesn't care about his customers. Allison Ranieri in that office is one of the nastiest people I've ever interacted with. I regret ever letting this company on my property. We have a 6,300 sq ft house and that doesn't include the two basements + walk up attic. We have two tanks. I always buy a contract and pay for cleanings. That's a lot of oil and thousands of dollars in business. They've been servicing my home for over 10 years. If they don't care about that business, they won't care about yours either. Pick any other company in the area, just don't go with Brideau.
