Our History

In 1888, “Augusta Ice Company” was originally incorporated when the cutting and harvesting of ice was one of the pre- dominant industries in central Maine. But as the new century approached, “coal cubes” began replacing wood-burning stoves, and the Company became known as Augusta Coal & Ice Company.

By 1940, “power burners” were fed by fuel oil and kerosene, and we became known as Augusta Fuel Company. In 1970, the purchase of several plumbing companies formed “Augusta Fuel & Plumbing Company”.

We then added air conditioning and refrigeration in 1987, and eventually propane services in 1997.

In 2003, we added the AFC ADVANTAGE – a premium fuel oil additive that burns cleaner and, over time, keeps equipment running at peak efficiency.  AFC Advantage Info

In 2007, we expanded our propane facility to accommodate a 30,000 gallon storage tank. By the end of 2007, we began delivering bioHEAT – a remarkable product discussed in detail on this website.  BioFuel Info
