Stafford Oil is a locally owned and operated family business headquartered in Laconia that has provided home comfort to families in the beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire since 1928. Throughout the years we have built an organization that goes the extra mile to take care of all your fuel delivery and heating and cooling needs, including new equipment installations and 24-hour emergency service.
If you are in the market for new heating and air conditioning systems, you've come to the right place. Stafford offers a complete line of top-name brands for boilers, furnaces, air conditioners, and more. We even offer a range of energy control devices to reduce your expenses and carbon monoxide detectors to help protect your life. Our experts will patiently go through the process of determining the best systems for your lifestyle and living space, and provide you with a fair estimate for both the sales price and our charge to install your system properly.
When you are comparing costs and features of different boilers, furnaces, hot water heaters, or fuel oil storage tanks, be sure to give us a call at Stafford Oil. Stafford is known throughout Belknap county and areas within Carroll, Grafton, Strafford and Merrimack counties for our fair pricing and excellent customer service, starting with helping you understand comparisons between different models and ending with a professionally installed unit that does everything we promised it would. Of course, if you are instead looking for maintenance or repair of your existing heating systems, we have got you covered there as well.
Whether you are looking for a new ductless air conditioner or a whole-house central air solution, you owe it to yourself to make decisions wisely. While you can accomplish some of that through Internet research, you will not be able to get nearly the amount of knowledge you can gain by meeting with a Stafford Oil representative. While getting the right air conditioning system for your particular new or upgrade situation is of utmost importance - you want the right company to install it, too. That is because a poor installation can bring you all sorts of headaches, from improper cooling to unnecessarily high energy bills, from tracked-in dirt to uninsured work issues.
Unlike furnaces, which generate heated air, boilers transfer heat or steam heat to generate indoor warmth. And because they don't use fans or blowers, they don't contribute to blowing dust, dirt, allergens, etc., into the air. Stafford goes above and beyond to ensure that the boilers we install will work trouble-free for as long as possible. We are proud to sell and service Biasi, Buderus and Utica boilers, three of the best-known and well-respected boiler manufacturers. In addition, our service technicians are factory-trained in boiler maintenance and installation of all makes and models of oil boilers.
Did you know that a summertime air conditioner tune-up can reduce your yearly cooling bills by as much as 10%, help prevent in-season breakdowns, and extend the life of your equipment? It is also a great time for an air conditioning system tune-up after the late-summer cooling season is over. Because you won't have to wait for an appointment, as you may have to in the spring when everyone else is calling! The fact is, a tune-up doesn't "wear off, " and so there is no reason to wait until the last minute to get your air conditioner in its best working condition.
Your home's heating needs can account for up to two-thirds of your annual energy bill; therefore, you need a furnace that will stand up to the bitterest weather that this area can dole out - while it saves you as much as possible on your heating costs. Furnace technologies vary in how they work and what efficiencies they bring. Our expert technicians will help you understand more about your options and determine the right size and type of furnace you and your family need. Williamson oil furnaces are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to fit most residential or light commercial projects.
You need hot water for many daily activities, such as cooking, washing dishes and clothes, and bathing. In fact, up to 30% of a home's average energy costs goes toward heating water. But if you have a boiler, you can install an indirect-fired hot water heater and enjoy water virtually FREE - even during the coldest winter months! Of course, if you have a standard oil-fired water heater, our expert technicians can help you get the most life out of them for the least cost. The Model 40 takes the full output of a 150,000 BTU boiler, giving you 143 gallons per hour of hot water at 90F rise, continuous!
Heat pumps use a refrigerant compression cycle similar to a common household refrigerator which allows them to extract heat from the outside air even when the outside temperature is only 0 degrees. In the winter, the pump keeps your house warm by drawing in outside heat. In warmer summer months, it reverses the process to cool your house by pumping indoor heat outside. By moving heat from one location to another, heat pumps create a comfortable environment for a lower price than some alternatives, since heat pumps typically provide up to four times the amount of energy than they use.
If you need service for your heating system - or want to save on your bills by replacing your old system with a new, high efficient unit - Stafford Oil can keep you warm and comfortable through the cold winter months. Our highly trained heating technicians are experts in installing and servicing all makes, models and systems for your Central New Hampshire home.

While today Stafford Oil is constantly evolving as a heating and air conditioning company, our roots go back to 1928, when we strictly provided home heating and fuel oil delivery services. We are still the #1 provider in Belknap county and areas within Carroll, Grafton, Strafford and Merrimack counties for these home services, too. In this section of our site, you can learn about how we support your home heating system needs, and how we still deliver home heating oil to thousands of satisfied customers.

For new construction, we can help determine the best location and equipment to support the structural design and building usage requirements. In established structures, we can inspect what is already in place and determine what improvements, if any, we recommend.
When you bring an air conditioner repair technician into your home, you should expect a few things. You get all that and more when a Stafford employee appears at your door to repair or service your room or central air conditioner system. We pride ourselves on our hard-earned reputation, and we make certain that every technician is fully trained to meet or exceed it every day. Our techs meet with factory representatives to become fully versed in and certified to work on their equipment. They have passed difficult classes on all manner of new and old heating and cooling technologies.
As with air conditioner installations, a new heating system's operation and cost efficiency is only as good as its installation. It is a shame that some installers out there are not properly trained (or just don't care), because the equipment they install may not work properly, or at least not up to its potential. That never happens with Stafford Oil, because our technicians are certified by the state of New Hampshire and by the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA), and our training never stops.
We know: New Hampshire is pretty far north of the equator. But that doesn't mean we don't have some hot summer days when it would be nice if your cooling system worked. That's why, in addition to great maintenance and repair services, we offer you cooling equipment products that are built to last and run efficiently. Whether you need a ductless unit for a single room, or want a central air conditioning system to cool your entire home, Stafford Oil has the experience and expert advice you should hear before you put any money into new equipment.
