| You have questions, Townie has answers!

A: Yes, and here's why: late summer is actually the best time to enroll in automatic delivery or a budget payment plan, so you're all set before the cold weather rush. It also gives us time to schedule any tank inspections or system checkups without the winter scramble.

We are honored to receive a Community Impact Award from the North Shore YMCA!

The Townsend family accepted the award, recognizing our family's decades-long partnership with the YMCA — from sponsoring families during the holidays to hosting golf tournaments and supporting the Build-A-Bed project.

"This award reflects a tradition of giving back that has been part of our family's values for generations," said Brookes Townsend. "We're proud to stand alongside the North Shore YMCA in supporting families throughout our community."

Congratulations to all of this year's honorees! 👏

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us at the third annual Touch-A-Truck event!

We were proud to bring three of our trucks for everyone to explore, alongside police cruisers, fire trucks, and specialty vehicles from agencies and businesses throughout the region.

Events like this are exactly why we love being part of New England. After more than 95 years of serving our neighbors here, showing up for the community is what it's all about.

| You have questions, Townie has answers!

A: Even if your home heating is turned off, summer relies heavily on propane for pool heaters, outdoor grills, and water heaters. Keeping an eye on your gauge now ensures you don't run out during a summer barbecue or family gathering.

| Replacing a hot water heater doesn't have to be a hassle. We had the opportunity to prove that with an efficient, polite, and professional installation for Suzanne.

Thank you for the high recommendation and for trusting the Townsend team!

| High summer humidity can actually cause moisture to build up inside an empty or low heating oil tank, leading to internal corrosion.

Keeping your tank full during July protects your investment and ensures your system is ready the moment the weather turns.
