When I call for a refill they are always friendly, and the deliveries are prompt. Recently we had them replace one of our HVAC compressors. Their estimate and replacement was incredibly quick, especially since we were in the heat of summer. The sales agent even came to the house a couple of times to manage the contract particulars. I would recommend them to anyone; their service is lightyears ahead of most companies. 5 stars in my book!

Extremely disappointed. I called Daniels Energy for HVAC/heating services and explicitly offered to…read morepay in full all services upfront before to include propane refills. The representative Dave came to my home of record provide me with a quote and signed a contract to enter into services. Instead of taking my business, they completely refused to provide service valid reason explanation or alternatives. As a homeowner in the Glastonbury area looking for a reliable provider, I was stunned to be turned away despite guaranteeing prompt payment. If they are this dismissive to new, paying customers, I do not recommend relying on them. Take your business elsewhere. This was zero risk transaction for them, they claim to be a family run business but decline to service my family! Deed not Words.

I called to cancel on 10/16 and spoke to someone who promised me a reduced rate for my next delivery. I mistakenly agreed. The delivery was this past Monday and when they sent my invoice they charged me the regular rate and not the reduced rate I was promised. I called and of course they have "no record" of my call or any notes in my account. That's so shady. I should have demanded they put that in writing. Lesson learned. Go elsewhere. They will gouge you and not make good on their promises.

From the initial quote through the final installation, the entire team was professional, punctual, clearly answered my many questions, and left my home immaculately clean.

My gratitude goes to Cole who on a service call diagnosed the problem, to Jeff and Rich who provided estimates and handled the paperwork, to Tom, Lex, and Jake who installed the new system. Many thanks to all.

They apparently neglected to replace the oil filter and we had to call in an emergency repair service when our boiler stopped working, which also cost hundreds of dollars. The repair person today said they probably didn't replace the filter because it was so clogged it was difficult to remove and they didn't want to bother. Obviously, we'll never be using Cromwell to service our boiler again.

They were able to come out within two days, while every other company I contacted quoted two to three weeks just to get an appointment. The person I spoke with on the phone was incredibly kind and understanding. They kept me informed, called to let me know the technician was on the way, and even texted me a photo of the technician beforehand, which I really appreciated for safety and peace of mind. The technician who arrived was very nice, professional, and extremely helpful. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Since the visit, my furnace has been running quietly with no more strange noises. Best of all, the maintenance service was under $200, which felt very reasonable given the quick response and quality of service. I'm so grateful they were able to help on such short notice and would absolutely recommend them.

If you're an average parent like me with minimal plumbing knowledge, and want to be overcharged and…read morehave to spend the next couple of months paying off the extra cost of a service that should've been 60% cheaper...go with this company. We had what I now learned from a non-local family friend was a simple backflow preventer failure. The friend ball parked it around $500-600 max, and that was with up to 2 hours of time taken. This company charged me $1300 for an hour of time with a single part being replaced. Similar parts are available online for $150 (and I assume they get parts even cheaper). My family is leaving town this weekend and I wanted to ensure this got fixed (but it was not an emergency call), so I didn't take time to vet out other contractors. I regret that, and have learned my lesson. Thanks F.F. Hitchcock. The Tech who visited was professional / explained things well. I'm not sure who sets the price, so if he had nothing to do with it, then this feedback should strictly go against F.F. Hitchcock's pricing structure. I reached out to F.F. Hitchcock a couple of hours after the service was performed, but so far have not received a response 2 days later. Do yourself a favor, find another company to service your plumbing / hvac.

Dutch Oil & Dutch Propane, LLc of East Haddam and Moodus, Ct…read moreDutch Oil has great reviews and I learned they are growing! After having them mow.our lawn for approximately 6 years..we just had a very bad experience with them. One guy came to mow (usually they send 2) he mowed half of it (took at least 10 breaks that we counted in a 3 hour period) and left (not completing the job). BTW he worked extremely slow, it looked deliberate as this never happened before. I called the office and spoke with the lawn MGR after he left my property, while the job was still incomplete. I figured out this deceptive business tactic used by them after speaking to the "lawn Mgr". She basically refused to have the mower come back and finish the job tomorrow-- they didnt have time for us she said and that they had other properties to work on. They also jacked up the price from $175./ last season (2024) to $325./ for this season ( that is an 85.71% increase! ). In a previous conversation i had with "The Lawn MGR" mentioned there would be an increase and I said "I understand and agreed to the increase". And they still had the mower come to my property and behave this way. She said she would have a "field mgr. come and evaluate the property. They had plans to increase the price more. At this point I was finished with Dutch and their deceptive business tactics and fired them. The Lawn Mgr would not give me the owners name (Bruce Dutch) so i could have a conversation with him regarding this matter. Service both on the office end and mowing end has drastically diminished. I feel terrible that our once reliable good neighbor and lawn carer has resorted to this manipulative business tactic. We will no longer recommend this company for lawn, oil, propane or their customer service! You lost a good customer and your GOOD name!!!!! BTW folks there are other great companies in our immediate area that offer great prices and their services have not diminished!!!!! Ive already hired someone in less than 5 hours!!! Sheila A.

I called Alpha at the recommendation of my Auto mechanic shop. It was earlier in the day so I didn't hear from them for a few hours. I had called other places and they were too busy or not what I was looking for. It was going to reach 100° this week and today was Monday. I received a text from Scott, the owner saying he'd be reaching out soon. Shortly after we spoke on the phone and I told him the symptoms of my system which is an old Trane(it's hard to stop a Trane). Right away he knew what to look for and said he would make it tonight and I jokingly said "we're up until midnight"... Well sometimes after 7: 00 pm I got a text saying they are on their way. They showed up and with no hesitation. Went right to the system and started analyzing. They found what was wrong within a couple of minutes and immediately started to do the repair. I had my lady go inside and turn the AC on and boom the compressor kicked on as it should have which is the unit outside the house that was kicking on and off. No fuss, no muss and we are now getting deliciously cold air again! HECK YES I recommend this company.. Thank you Alpha Tech
