What You Can Expect From Us
Serving the North Shore Since 1954

Our Promise to You

An HVAC company is an HVAC company, right? Wrong! We’re proud of our trade but there are some less-than-reliable contractors out there who are more concerned with making a quick buck than providing a quality service. We don’t want you to get burned by fly-by-night operators.

Townsend Energy has been in business since 1954 because customer satisfaction has always been our No. 1 priority.

We Put Your Comfort First

Whereas some companies look for every opportunity to upsell you on products or services you don’t need, our only concern is ensuring your home remains comfortable throughout the year. Whether it’s preventative maintenance or a complete replacement, we want to make certain you’re completely satisfied with the job performed.

We Offer Friendly, Helpful Advice

During a pre-season tune-up and safety check, one of our certified HVAC technicians will thoroughly assess the condition of your heating and cooling equipment. They’ll make necessary adjustments to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency and alert you to any potential concerns if we find them. If we think your system could benefit from a repair or replacement part, we’ll walk you through your options. Of course, we’re not going to pressure you into buying anything. It’s just friendly advice!

We’re Compliant

Our technicians are trained, certified, licensed and insured to do the work you hire them to perform. We wish we could say that about all HVAC technicians. Unfortunately, there are some bad actors out there who undercut the competition by skirting the law. They don’t get the required permits or carry adequate insurance. So, while they maybe cheaper, you could be held liable if the contractor is injured on your property.

Also, any work performed by an unlicensed contractor could void your HVAC’s current or extended warranty. That means you’d be on the hook for the full cost of the repair. It’s just not worth the risk.

With Townsend Energy, you can be confident that your comfort is in the hands of qualified professionals who will do the job expertly and up to code!

We Never Stop Learning

The HVAC industry is ever changing. That’s we we’re involved with multiple trade associations that give use access to the newest products and cutting-edge technology. When we work on your plumbing or HVAC system, you can be certain we’re up to speed on the latest industry advancements.

We Hire and Train Only the Very Best

It’s not an easy thing inviting a stranger into your home. That’s why we’re very selective in who we hire. Each technician we bring on board passes a rigorous employee screening process. We’re diligent in providing ongoing safety training and drug testing. In addition to being good at what they do, our technicians will be a pleasure to have around. They wear shoe coverings, use drop cloths and always clean up after themselves.

We Offer Discounts and Our Prices are Competitive

Be sure to ask us about our maintenance agreement called Annual Services. For a low annual rate, you’ll be eligible to take advantage of a number of valuable benefits, including:

  • Priority services
  • Discounts on repairs
  • Exclusive offers
  • A tune-up and safety inspection at the end of the agreement

Annual Services members can rest easy knowing their home comfort systems will operate efficiently and reliably, while slashing their heating and cooling costs.

    "I don’t expect to ever need to call another plumbing company. I’d recommend them to anyone."
    Always prompt, friendly, professional. Getting a plumber the same day or next day is amazing. I’ve worked with a few different employees at various times and they’re all happy to explain what they’re doing and what my options are for fixes. They’re not cheap, but it doesn’t feel like you’re being taken for a ride on price - I’ve been told when relevant that the best option is to order a simple replacement part myself because it’s more affordable. They always wear shoe covers when coming from outside which is very helpful for keeping the floors clean.

    "Our very old thermostat failed right before a cold snap during which we’d be out of town."
    Bartlett & Steadman (now Townsend Energy) were available the same day we called, showed up promptly, and made a quick replacement with a new thermostat they already had on hand, saving us so much stress and trouble. Thank you!!!
    - Hannah B.
    "Great service with super knowledgeable technicians that take the time to explain everything very well."
    This is the second time I’ve used this company and they’re great
    - Matthew D.
    "SO impressed!!!"
    We lost our water heat yesterday morning temporarily. Jason showed up today (within the time specified), checked out the system, explained what happened, showed us how to fix the problem if it ever happens again...all very clear explanations!!! We couldn't be happier! Polite, clean, professional. We'd give 10 stars if we could!

    "So pleased with the results."
    We used Bartlett and Steadman (now Townsend Energy) for a huge AC installation job in our Salem home. The house is old so it was a complex job, and the guys smashed it. They worked hard, were professional throughout the whole process, and communication was always great.
    - Victoria E.
    "Fantastic. Highly recommended."
    Called me back quickly following my quote request and came out same-day. Found a few issues with my tankless water heater and explained the options and cost on the spot. Had parts in stock and fixed the same day. Extremely competent, professional, and friendly.
    - Andrew B.
    "As always the guys did a great job. Arrived on time, we’re professional and efficient."
    - Nick C.
    "Prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and courteous."
    Jason, our technician, was excellent. He diagnosed the problem fast and knew exactly how to do the repairs. The office staff is friendly and helpful.
