The British Empire Fuels Story
Once a humble oil delivery business, our decades of experience has allowed us to grow and expand our services. We are now a top-rated propane, HVAC, and oil fuel delivery company employing a team of 40+ HVAC experts who operate out of locations in Lindsay and Bobcaygeon. We are proud to serve the communities where we live—including Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay, and Peterborough - and promise honest and genuine care for our clients.
We are here to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.
1940: The British Empire Coal Supply Co. is founded in Toronto by the Ewell family, immigrants from England.
1967: Bert Ewell, son of the founders, renames the company British Empire Fuels Inc. and relocates the business to the Kawartha Lakes area, where he and his wife, Ruth, successfully run the company for 14 years.
1981: Ross and Madeline Whyte, lifelong residents of the Kawarthas, purchase British Empire Fuels. Ross’s vast experience in the heating business helps the business grow and expand their offerings into HVAC services.
2014: To better serve customers, British Empire Fuels opens a second location in Lindsay.
Today: Ross and Madeline’s sons, Rob and Greg, operate the business based on the same customer service principles that were instilled into the business by their parents.
We are extremely proud to be a locally-owned, family-run business with deep roots in Kawartha Lakes.
Committed to being the best.
At British Empire Fuels, we believe that continued education and training are the key to staying on top of changes in the heating and cooling industry. The more we know, the better able we are to provide top-quality service to our customers. That’s why both our HVAC experts and office staff are kept up-to-date on the latest technology and actively participate in internal and external training, including regular on-site Infrastructure Health & Safety Association training.
As active members of the OPTA and the Canadian Propane Association, we stay current on technical development and training, TSSA/regulations, safety requirements, emergency response, and we are WSIB insured.
