Both installers were prompt, professional and did a neat installation. The company said installation would take two days and they were exact. We would highly recommend this company for future services. It is very high quality work.

Installers were on time and did an excellent job- including removal of old furnace and cleaning up after work was completed. I would definitely use these workers again and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.  I just wish I could remember their names.

Switched out the old tank quickly, even though the other company didn't remove the tank when they were supposed to.

Wonderfully. From start to finish it is always a delight to have GA Bove crews on site. We had some delays due to another contractor and these guys worked around them flexibly. The work is always top notch, no babysitting required. Things are in line, tight, complete and neat. On previous projects we've shopped around a little, but the value for the superior experience with GA Bove leaves us making them the first choice every time.

I am extremely happy with the service I received from G.A. Bove. The Bove crew arrived on schedule and performed work in a timely and professional manner. The sales staff went above and beyond to help me determine the type of equipment that was appropriate for my property. Bove's pricing is very competitive with other companies I researched. I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends.

I explained to this company that they needed to show up when stated as I was traveling an hour or so to meet them at the location, there was no heat in the place and no phone service. I was advised they would be there between 2 and 4. They did not show. We had to drive to where there was cell service to find out whether they were coming. We were advised that there was an emergency and they were running late (this emergency was apparently more important than keeping us in a residence without heat or any way to get in touch with them. I was told they would be there by 6. 6 0'clock came and went and they still didn't show. I received no explanation and no apology. I went with another company that DID show up when they said they would, even though they also had an emergency.

We were new customers last year for both propane and fuel oil. Great people to talk with, work and employees were professional and courteous.

As a 30 plus year customer, I have requested twice to have the fee of $128 returned to me that was kept from my budget plan account for your company to take back the small propane tank that was in,y used for cooking. I have an overpayment of over $500 in my account, of which your company was able to use or accrue credit on. Other companies do do charge people who have been customers for 3 years yet Bove charged a 30 year customer? Also, bove does not update their tanks once installed. As far as estimate for replacing a furnace and central air unit, the company was $2,000 higher than 2 other companies. And, other companies provided a written estimate the same day or the next. Nice took several days which included me going there to find out where it was!
Response from G A Bove Fuels

"[Member Name Removed], We have reviewed your account and have come to the decision to refund the service charge for the tank removal. We do not charge tank rentals, minimum usage fees or delivery fees, but it is our standard policy to charge a service call for the removal of tanks and equipment. Although we have never heard of other companies waiving this charge, we feel that for your long time loyalty of over 30 years, it is only right to refund the service charge. As you know from being a long time customer of ours, we take great pride in our services. Due to the amount of work we put into each estimate to ensure our customers are getting the best quality products, we are not always able to get estimates done in a two-day timeframe. We do apologize that this was not acceptable for you. However, we are happy to hear that you were able to get the services you needed, even though it was not through us. We thank you and appreciate the long time relationship we had, and are truly saddened that we had to part ways. You should be receiving your refund in about 14 business days."

As a new home buyer in the area, I contacted 5 propane suppliers for quotes on service.  Prices were all over the place.  G.A. Bove had the best price.  They also were very professional and thorough wihen they completed their initial home inspection.  Recent auto-delivery tank refill handled smoothly.

They eventually fixed it, but had to come out 3 times.  All of their techs were professional, but some more capable than others.
