Since 1989,Thompsons Oil and Propane has been the energy experts you can trust, providing quality service and delivery to all of Waldo County. We take great pride in helping our customers save money, guaranteeing warmth and comfort to their families. With fuel prices going through the roof, I'm sure most everyone has questions and concerns on how we can all save.

Here are a few ideas we can all do to save:

Others have turned to alternative heating sources. Researching the heating equipment, the availability and the efficiency of the fuels, can seem overwhelming. Some factors needing concideration are the cost of the heating unit, the convenience and labor involved to keep your equipment fueled, storage of the fuel and the effect on the environment.

Our recommendations would be to first invest in making your home more energy efficient. Replacing windows and doors, and adding insulation will reduce your heat loss and consumption of oil. Second would be to invest in a supplemental heating source. A propane heater is an environmentally friendly choice. Propane burns cleaner, works harder, and operates smarter. It has built-in safety properties along with stringent safety regulations. Go to our links section and check out some of the quality propane equipment we carry.

Until now, Maine oil customers primary resource for money savings was to compare oil prices from different companies. The goal should not be to merely save pennies on gallons of oil with an inefficent system, but to burn less oil. Commodities are rising faster than manufacturers can produce price sheets and the cost of fuel is being reflected as surcharges. Although we don't have the ability to control all of these issues, we do control our ability to listen.So, if you have any thoughts or ideas how we can serve you better, please let us hear from you.

Again, "Thank You " to our loyal customers. As always, if you have any question regarding equipment or fuel, don't hesitate to call or stop in. We're always glad to help.
