All delivered by a friendly, professional staff committed to a level of excellence unmatched in the industry.

The Lorden Legacy

Lorden’s 70-year track record for reliable fuel delivery dates back to the 1930’s, when Charles “Pop” Lorden, Sr. delivered wood and ice harvested from local forests and ponds by horse and buggy. In the 1940’s, Lorden progressed to include oil—kerosene at the time. By then, matriarch Josephine Lorden had saved enough money to purchase the company’s first oil delivery tank truck.

As the company grew, the Lorden sons branched out into various northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire locations, earning a solid reputation for honesty, fairness, customer response, and delivering high quality customer service. As we’ve evolved over the years, Lorden has continually raised the bar by offering more and more in the way of propane delivery and products, heating and air-conditioning products and services. Yet always we’ve remained true to our original values and guiding principles. Our customers still come first.

Today, Lorden is run by the third generation of Lordens, Tim, Jr. and Ted, from three locations serving more than 50 communities.
