Evolving Over 160 Years
Over our 160-year history, one of our sustaining principles has been to continually evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve. Some of our most significant evolutions include:
Adding service and installation of equipment to our offerings in 1956 to better serve our oil customers
Beginning delivery of propane in 2008 to create a one-stop shop for our fuel customers, and
Launching into generator installations in 2013 after Hurricane Sandy.
Another evolution…not as significant but certainly interesting was in 1918 and 1919 when our fleet of 60 horses were rented out for funeral hearse services during the Spanish Flu epidemic. At 20 years old, my Grandfather handled up to three funerals a day when roughly 1,000 members of the Westport community contracted the disease.
In case you missed our announcement in May, our newest evolution is into Electrical Services and we have officially hit the ground running! Not only does it make sense for us to provide Electrical Services to help provide a one-stop shop for your home needs but Covid shined a light on the struggle that our customers were having finding qualified help. Over the last three years, while we have been fielding customer calls asking for recommendations for electricians, at the same time, we were bringing Electricians on staff to support our booming generator business. Our team of licensed electricians have immense experience in many facets of the trade and are ready to visit your home!
