Dependable Energy is a fourth-generation full-service energy company that specializes in oil and propane delivery, installation, and service. The company was first established in 1946 by Glenn Noble’s grandfather as an oil burner service company, then was expanded by his father Steve in 1970 into an oil delivery service company. The company was sold in 1988 and in 1990 Glenn and his father began a heating and air conditioning installation company. In 1994, Glenn purchased the business and added oil delivery and service. In 2004, Glenn expanded the company to LP gas delivery making Dependable Energy, Inc. a complete full-service energy company. Between 2016 and 2018 Dependable Energy added Marino Fuel and Marino Propane customers to our family. Additionally in 2021, Dependable Energy acquired Smith Oil and we were able to bring propane, service, and installation, in addition to oil delivery, to those customers.
Today, Glenn is joined by his son Keith to provide improved management, growth, and enhanced customer service and experiences. With over 75 years of combined experience in the family business, you can see we have a lot of expertise and experience backing us. Hence our motto “The Total Comfort Company”!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Dependable Energy been in business?
Dependable Energy has been serving Connecticut homeowners since 1946, making it one of the oldest HVAC and fuel delivery companies in the Greater Waterbury area. That is nearly 80 years of continuous local service across multiple generations of the same family.
Has Dependable Energy always been a family-owned business?
Yes. Dependable Energy has been a family-owned business since it was founded in 1946. The company is currently in its fourth generation of family ownership, with the current ownership operating since 1994. Family ownership has remained a core part of the company's identity and values throughout its history.
How has Dependable Energy's service offering changed over the decades?
While Dependable Energy was founded primarily as a fuel delivery company, the business has grown considerably over the decades to include a full range of HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance services. The addition of ductless mini-split systems, bioheat fuel, and a 344-page service area expansion reflects the company's commitment to staying ahead of homeowner needs.
When did Dependable Energy become a Heil Elite Dealer?
Dependable Energy earned Heil Elite Dealer status as part of its commitment to offering only the highest-quality HVAC equipment and installations. Elite Dealer status requires factory-certified technicians and consistently high installation standards. Contact our team for details about what this designation means for your equipment and warranty.
Where is Dependable Energy headquartered?
Dependable Energy is headquartered in Prospect, CT. From this base, we serve communities throughout Greater Waterbury, the Naugatuck Valley, the Litchfield Hills, the Farmington Valley, and the Greater New Haven area. Our local roots in Prospect are something we are proud of — we are your neighbours, not a national chain.
Does the length of time in business matter when choosing an HVAC company?
We believe it does. A company that has served the same area for nearly 80 years has deep knowledge of local homes, building styles, and climate conditions. Our longevity also reflects the trust Connecticut homeowners have placed in us over generations — something we do not take lightly and work hard to earn every day.
!
Ice and snow-covered driveways, walkways and paths present a real hazard to oil and propane trucks, along with their drivers. These conditions can make it impossible for us to deliver oil or propane to your home when scheduled.
Please maintain a 10' wide path in your driveway, clear of ice and snow, for our trucks.
A path should be cleared to your oil and propane fill location to ensure safe access and uninterrupted delivery service.
Thank you for your business and for your cooperation!
