Customer Reviews
See what our customers are saying!
- Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the program for switching from kerosene to propane. I worked with Paul Stout. He is very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. His communication with me was always prompt. When he came out to take a look at my situation to work up an estimate, he gave me great advice and options. His estimate arrived the next day. He helped set up a finance program that fit my situation. The guys who came out to install everything were awesome. Everything was done neatly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Appalachian Energy, Paul and your installation team to anyone. – Sheri S.
- I’m a new customer, and these guys are always available to take my call and answer any questions. I look forward to having them fill my tank monthly at Beech Mtn! – Ric S.
- This company takes care of its customers! Our family has the utmost appreciation for helping us out when we needed their help with our heating issue. We have an awesome fireplace, gas, that heats up our house quickly and looks so real that most don’t know it’s not “real”. Quality product. Quality service. – Rhonda B.
- FANTASTIC! Everytime. Drop the others. Service, sales and maintenance…. the staff has been anything less than awesome. We switched to G&B from Suburban in 2021. Keep up the great EVERYTHING in Statesville! Thanks. – John C.
Our goal, since 1930, has been to provide our customers with the best products and the best customer service available at fair prices. With these values in mind, E.C. Boyles founded G&B Oil Company and these values remain our business philosophy today.
