A 2026 customer said they had used Coastal Energy over the past year for boiler service, a mixing valve change on the hot water heater and fuel, then called it when a burning smell came from the breaker box around lunchtime on a Friday. That 2026 customer said the team rearranged schedules to have a master electrician at the house that day, and that he stayed late into the evening to remove and replace the box. The company describes itself on its website as a fuel business offering fuel delivery and high-efficiency heating systems. A 2024 customer said they had a tank set and filled and a furnace cleaned inside of 48 hours, and that the company fixed code compliance issues a previous provider had signed off on. A 2021 customer praised the annual boiler service. A 2021 reviewer wrote "Quick delivery!" and said talking to the office staff was always a pleasure. A 2025 customer said they called three times over several months to schedule propane tanks for a new generator, was told the company had one tech booked solid for heating season, and went with another provider after never hearing back. A 2023 customer said they called four times in one week about oil they were owed and got no call back, with the phone going to a full voicemail. A 2022 customer praised the oil driver but said they could have saved money on cleaning by making a few calls. A commenter who said they worked for Coastal for a few years wrote in a 2026 r/Maine thread that a customer who calls and complains about the bill will probably get it reduced. A 2026 r/Maine commenter wrote that "Coastal doesn’t like to fix, they like to replace."

“I worked for Coastal for a few years and this is just how they do business. Call and complain about the bill and they will probably reduce it.”
“I'd expect a business the size of Coastal Energy to have higher overhead than a smaller operation.”
“Coastal doesn’t like to fix, they like to replace.”
“Being unfamiliar with the home and system, I called Coastal Energy. The tech that came was great. I left him alone to do his diagnosis, after which he came to me and told me that he needed to call an electrician.”
Many business these days ask for a 5-star review, but this one is freely given, organically, without request. We've used Coastal Energy several times over the past year for things such as servicing our boiler, changing the mixing valve on our hot water heater and our fuel. But recently I needed emergency electrical service for my breaker panel. Around lunchtime on a Friday we noticed a burning smell coming from the breaker box. I called Coastal Energy and their team rearranged schedules and quickly coordinated to have a master electrician come to my house that day. He stayed late into the evening to remove and replace the box. Without the kindness, compassion, knowledge and expertise of the folks at Coastal Energy, my family and I would have been without heat in <20 degree temps. So much gratitude for the quick and caring response from Rebecca, Matt and Darin. And for those posting reviews stating that the prices are too high, we've felt their prices were fair considering 2 things: first, the price of everything is high these days, and second, they have highly trained individuals on staff who complete the job right the first time, and they deserve to be paid a fair rate for their skill set. We have a greater sense of peace of mind knowing that there is a place like Coastal Energy nearby who can help us out with these types of things.
Called them to set up a time to install propane tanks for a new generator and was told someone from service would get back to me. A month later I called again and was given the same message. After another few weeks I called again and was told they only had one tech and now that it was heating season he was booked solid but would get back to me. Now months later they still have not contacted me so I had to go with another provider which I should have done to start with. Just simply the worst customer service.
Some of the most professional, kind and efficient staff we have had the pleasure of working with. It is such a RE FRESHENING experience in these days we live with no customer service anywhere. 5 stars cause we can’t give them ten!!
Just wow, called and had my tank set, filled, and furnace cleaned inside of 48 hours, and fixed code compliance issues last provider had signed off on. Night and day compared to last propane dealer, office is actually organized with delivery tickets and accurate billing. Wish I had come here a year ago.
Called them four times this week, they owe me oil they will not call me back and the telephone number keeps goi going to a voice mail that is full
