What the plan carries

  • The annual tune-up: boiler brushed and vacuumed, burner cleaned, new nozzle, new filter, new strainer, controls checked.
  • 100% parts coverage on the listed parts — valued at over $3,600.
  • 20% off labor on any other repairs.
  • Licensed and insured technicians, on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

One plan, one price, no surprises — the tune-up alone keeps most burners out of trouble all winter.

On Bioheat, briefly

Gottier is a certified Bioheat dealer. Four questions cover nearly everything customers ask.

What is Bioheat? q. 1

Heating oil blended with renewable biodiesel. You get the same warmth your system has always made, from a fuel that burns cleaner.

Do I need new equipment to use it? q. 2

No. Bioheat works in existing oil heating systems with no modifications at all — your boiler, burner, and tank stay exactly as they are.

Is it better for my equipment? q. 3

Yes. Bioheat burns cleaner, which means less buildup inside the system — and less buildup means longer equipment life.

How do I switch? q. 4

You already have, if you're a Gottier customer — every Gottier delivery is Bioheat. We're a certified dealer. If you're not with us yet, call (860) 875-6281 and we'll take it from there.

In their words

Rated 4.8 out of 5 — 26 reviews

They are honest and worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. They have serviced our system for three years and the response has always been the same — fast, economical, and done right.

— Heather M.

We had a new boiler installed and couldn't be more pleased... back up and running in a day and a half. As customers since 1985, we trust this company.

— Carl S., customer since 1985

Twelve years with them and still very happy with their services.

— R.B.

Grateful that there are people like Jason who understand the word 'dignity'... a caring person using his skills to keep our machines tuned up. Gracias, vecino.

Sixty-six winters in Vernon

In 1960, brothers Warren J. and Nelson Gottier put their name on the side of a van and went to work keeping Vernon warm. The trucks have changed — blue tanks now, Bioheat in every one — but the name on the door hasn't, and neither has the way the work gets done.

Three generations of the same family have run this company since. The tagline they chose at the start still holds: “First in Service Since 1960!” It was a promise before it was a slogan — answer the phone, show up, do the job right, and be there again next winter.

Today that means a certified Bioheat dealership, high-efficiency boiler and burner work, and a service line that's answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — across eleven towns that have kept calling for over six decades.
