The company says it has been keeping Vermonters warm since 1962, with automatic delivery and 24-hour emergency service, and it also lists heating installations and plumbing services. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade and accreditation. A 2021 Google reviewer who had installed a new whole-home generator said the Gillespie team, including Rob, Kevin and Amy, got the fuel lines buried and the generator hooked up in a timely, professional manner. A 2025 Google reviewer said the company charged a fair price and answered every question honestly. A mynbc5.com report names Rob Korrow as a co-owner. On r/vermont, a 2026 commenter said Gillespie had done right by them since 2014. A 2026 commenter who uses Gillespie wrote that they "come when they say they will, and come immediately if there is an emergency," though they did not think the company was the absolute cheapest. A 2023 commenter said Gillespie was the most responsive of the companies they contacted. A 2019 commenter wrote that Gillespie's prices had always been among the highest. **Strengths:** - A steep-driveway delivery — a 2024 reviewer said they made it happen - Emergency response — a 2026 commenter said they come immediately - A generator hookup — a 2021 reviewer described fuel lines buried and hooked up - Responsive service — a 2023 commenter found them most responsive - BBB A+ grade — accredited on its BBB page **Concerns:** - Price level — a 2019 commenter said prices were among the highest - Not the cheapest — a 2026 commenter said not the absolute cheapest ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2024 Google reviewer said the company made an oil delivery happen up a steep and difficult driveway _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQ5d28zVGhBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xaed45c39b89393e5!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgID9wo3ThAE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ From top to bottom just a great company.
