Ciardelli Fuel Company, Inc.

Ciardelli Fuel Company runs propane and heating-oil delivery out of 467 Nashua St in Milford, New Hampshire, and does the mechanical work that goes with the fuel — furnace and boiler service, air-conditioning and mini-split installs, and water-heater replacements. New Hampshire's licensing registry lists the company itself as the holder of an active Mechanical Business Entity licence, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+ without accrediting it. The people who hire them mostly talk about speed and about specific employees. Homeowners who ran out of fuel describe deliveries the same day or the next morning, including a Sunday run and an after-hours call answered on a snowy winter night; several say they switched after a national supplier let them run dry and Ciardelli got them filled within a day or two. Drivers and office staff are named over and over — Billy D., Steve R., Sarah McShea, Mandie — usually for going out of their way, and service techs get credit for explaining what they did and what to watch for. The mechanical side shows up in the detail. A 2026 customer walked through having the oil burner and tank pulled and a Rinnai tankless water heater installed, and called the quote competitive against a plumbing company's. A 2024 reviewer had mini-split AC units installed, one placed in the attic to keep it out of sight, plus two propane tanks set for a pool heater and a cooktop. Another describes a flooded basement and a boiler emergency answered in under an hour. On Reddit, a southern New Hampshire homeowner pricing a gas water-heater replacement was told Ciardelli is "really good and pricing is pretty fair." The complaints cluster somewhere else: accounts and billing. One customer says the company will not buy back propane left in the tank on cancellation and charges a fee for buying too little in a year. Another reports an account locked and a full tank removed without explanation or reimbursement. A third says invoicing and inter-office communication were a mess. A 15-year customer moved to another supplier in a 2025 review after a competitor advertised a much lower per-gallon propane price and says the match only came once he said he was leaving. One 2026 reviewer, home at 1:30 a.m. with no heat, says the on-call tech would not come out. They are a straightforward call for fuel delivery plus heating and cooling service in the Milford, Nashua and Hudson area, especially in an emergency. Before signing up, get the terms in writing: what happens to fuel left in the tank if you leave, whether an annual minimum applies, and how the per-gallon price is set.
