I've always been a prebuy customer. After a number of years with a different Portland company, I checked out Atlantic Heating from an advertisement in a local newspaper. Atlantic was hundreds of dollars less than the other company. I signed prebuy agreement with Atlantic and sent the other company a termination letter and very glad I did. I get great service from Atlantic and I recommend you give them a try! BTW.the other company called to say they'd reduce their price to compete with Atlantic. I said no thanks, I've already changed.

The folks at Atlantic Heating have always been nice and friendly. A few weeks ago I forgot to put out payment when I had ordered and oil and they didn't deliver it. I didn't notice that it hadn't been delivered until the tank was almost empty. When I called again, they came right out that morning and filled up the tank so that I didn't have to run out of it and pay extra fees to deal with that. I was really grateful to them for responding so quickly.

I am a new customer to Atlantic Heating Company, my first delivery was today! They showed up on the day they said they would, even though we are in a storm, and they found my house, which can be a challenge! The driver was very nice. I switched to them because they were 40 cents less than the company I used to use, and I am going to stay with Atlantic Heating because they seem very fair and have great customer service!

I've been with Atlantic heating for almost 9 years now. I called last week mind you it was the coldest day of the season. I woke up Tuesday morning 7:30 with no heat, I called Atlantic heating after the lady got me to calm down I explained to her that I had two small children. Atlantic Heating had someone at my door step within 15 minutes. I asked the technician how much it was going to cost halfway through the service because I had to leave for work, he turned around and said no charge. I almost burst into tears I'm so thankful and I will never go to another heating company, thank you so much!

Bill at Atlantic Heating Co. has taken care of heating our home for over 10 years. We just replaced our 55 yr old furnace and the job was done perfectly. His crew was friendly, fast, efficient and left the house clean.
