Hoffman Energy

A recent customer whose oil tank was leaking on a cold, rainy night the weekend before a holiday said they came rather quick. One more recent customer said two technicians came out on a cold winter night when the furnace stopped working and got the job done. A 2026 customer whose furnace stopped the night before a snow storm said a technician with 20 years of experience arrived within 30 minutes, fixed the sensor and controller and changed the filter. A 2025 customer of more than 20 years said Joe S. and Nick R. installed a new boiler and that both inspectors said the work was perfectly done. A 2025 customer said a technician named Damian came out for a propane conversion, and that the service team handled scheduling delivery, inspection and the permits.
