Did business with them for a year, and found them very difficult to work with. The service people were courteous and friendly, but the office staff do not extend respect to their clients. They also are not always upfront with the charges, they just bill you and that's that. For instance, when we initially requested propane from them, they brought over and installed a tank to our motorhome. After the fact, they mailed a bill was for every drop of propane in the tank, with a big charge for all the paraphernalia to attach the tank, and a whopping service charge on top. We asked about the paraphernalia

Outstanding service, from the initial consult to switch from electric furnace to propane, to the quote, to the schedule and to getting the job completed. On time, cleaned up after themselves. Professional, kind and courteous service from beginning to end. You won't be disappointed. Thank you again to Tim and his crew.

I have always had a great experience with Jackmans of Bristol whenever I needed their service. They have never let me run out of propane either, like I have with other companies. They are my first call if I have any plumbing or heating needs.

I have been a customer of Jackman's for several years. I can always rely on faithful service and personable delivery drivers. Their technicians are friendly and have always serviced our heating equipment. When a problem comes along, I know I can call the office and talk to a qualified professional about our issue and get service right away. I highly recommend Jackman's and their Team!

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Jackman's Home heating Supply Company here in Bristol. I did my research in the New England area for propane and Jackman's was actually the best priced in our area, and the only company willing to install a smaller sized tank to accommodate my cabin. They installed my new Rinnai heater of which they're one of the only companies registered to do so in our area. I just had my first refill of propane delivered to me the next day. In times of bad weather and good old fashioned local services, along with their competitive industry pricing, I don't see the need

Really terrible customer service beyond refusing to tell you when they are coming even as to morning or afternoon most recently the last straw: after eating for a propane delivery most of the morning my daughter in law was getting the baby in the car and evidently took too long to tie up the dog the delivery man left without making the delivery--they were out of propane in the winter. when she had secured the baby and leashed the dog she followed the truck to the neighbor to see if he would return he swore at her (not going to repeat) when my son returned he called to complain, he was basically
