Locally owned and operated in Guilford, CT since 1984, East River Energy prides itself on reliability, consistency, and premium service for each and every one of our customers. Economical - According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration for the past 16 years, heating oil has been a better value than gas heat in Connecticut.
East River Energy is uniquely positioned to offer propane to residential customers across the state of CT. Did you know that almost 90% of the propane used in the United States is produced domestically? Propane is a natural gas which means it is not "made" of other raw materials, but instead "found" in petroleum chemical mixtures deep within the Earth.

Absolute worst service I've ever received. I have had to purchase propane to heat my house for the last 3 years because I am a renter and do not own my propane tanks. At first service was fine, deliveries were relatively prompt, and didn't have an issue getting a quick fill when I accidentally ran out of propane mid winter. But since then they have been incredibly unprofessional, Eric in the office has texted me from his personal cellphone about my bill, one time even saying "are you just not going to pay your bill?" Phyllis in their office was not the slightest bit understand

My mom lives in West Haven. After 40 years her furnace needed replacing. She told me that she was getting estimates from her oil company and other contractors and the estimates were ranging from $15,000 to $30,000. I thought that sounded ridiculous and I was worried that people were preying on her. I remembered that my old West Haven High School classmate and football teammate, Don Herzog is in that business so I contacted him. They sent George McQueeney out to look at her furnace and they are going to take care of it for well under $10,000. If you are looking for good honest service, call

I wasn't even an existing customer as I had just moved into a new house and knew nothing about oil.... I ran out of oil and my furnace cut out, these guys came right out for an emergency call and got some oil in my tank for me and got me back up n running while explaining everything to me. Great Service, Great Tech!!!!
