For over one hundred years Spring Brook Ice and Fuel Company has been part of the community fabric of Central Maine. Now in the third generation of local ownership, we have evolved from selling ice and coal to supplying heating oil, propane, and diesel fuels. In spite of accelerating change, our values have not wavered.

Heating oil and propane prices fluctuate amid global uncertainty

Distillate oil and propane prices have decreased slightly over last year, but continue to fluctuate around the crude oil $55/barrel mark. Unfortunately geopolitical markets infuse uncertainty into day to day transactions. However, the savy consumer understands that there are opportunties to lock in at a favorable price level. With heating oil you can budget or prebuy. With propane you can fix a future price. Either way you have the comfort of knowing your price matches your personal budget. No surprises. We are always available to give you current market information.

PreBuy Heating Oil.  Fix your Propane price.

We offer the prebuy option on a daily basis. At $2.799 per gallon the price is ten cents below the current street price and fixing your price gives you peace of mind. Possibly the price of heating oil will go down, but picking a low point in heating oil prices is as tricky as picking stocks.  

At the moment propane prices have stabilized as well. Propane is following oil and fixing your propane price for the heating season should be a strong consideration. We welcome credit worthy new customers by setting tanks for free, waiving any adminsitrative fees, and offering credits* for initial accounts.

We no longer sell wood pellets. 

After years of selling wood pellets we have terminated this aspect of our business.       

Heat Pump installation climbs

Consumers are rapidly installing heat pump technology. Why? A proven ductless "pump" system using an environmentally friendly refrigerant imports cool air in the summer and heated air in the winter. Sounds impossible, but it is as simple as flipping a switch. You save money on fuel consumption and may qualify for an Efficiency Maine rebate. Our certified technicians install Mitsibishi and Fujitsu in residential and commercial applications. Check it out!  Learn More...

"We cannot say enough good about Carl and Kevin. They replaced our old hot air furnace with a seven zone propane heating system. Ripping out the old furnace was a nightmare. They had to pull the old parts through a tiny manhole. The new ducting system had to fit into small crawl spaces. Through it all they were pleasant and cheerful in spite of repeated obstacles.We relied on Carl for consultation and he never failed us. He shopped for the best prices and gave us options. What we really appreciated is that they do what they say they are going to do and keep after it. They are so nice to be around and we think the world of them and their work. Spring Brook provides the kind of customer service that you rarely find anywhere else."
