For over ninety 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, diesel and solid fuels. In spite of accelerating change, our values have not wavered.

Heating oil and propane prices continue rise with mideast instability

 Ordinarily distillate oil prices stabilize or drop in the Sprong. However, it is clear that we live in an uncertain global market, and the rise in seasonal inventories, which historically have driven prices down, no longer occur. Excess US inventory is absorbed by exports to countries willing to pay premium prices. It becomes more critical for the American consumer thinking longterm to buy "on the dips." Of course no one can predict the future, but upward price pressure is showing no signs of retreat. Setting a fixed future price is worth your deliberation. You should feel free to call us about the market. 

PreBuy Heating Oil.  Fix your Propane price.

We offer the prebuy option on a daily basis. At $2.849 per gallon the price may seem high but the market is pushing up. Planning for next year is prudent. Possibly the price of heating oil will go down, but the crude oil market seems to have found its global footing. Higher prices are more likely than lower prices. Get peace of mind...prebuy or fix now. 

At the moment propane prices, though up, have stabilized. Propane is getting price pressure from oil and fixing your propane price for next year 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 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."
