For over 100 years, Spring Brook Ice and Fuel Company has been part of the community fabric of Central Maine. In the third generation of local ownership, we have evolved from selling ice and coal to supplying heating oil, propane, and diesel fuels. Despite accelerating change, our values have not wavered.
From its beginning, Spring Brook Ice and Fuel Company has maintained certain core values that have guided relationships with its customers, superb workmanship, honest treatment, dedication to the community, and quality products at a fair price. We will grow with the times but never lose our personal concern for the customers that trust our care.
That is how a company thrives for 100 years. Our technicians are fully licensed with years of experience and a reputation for reliable repair. We maintain systems to last. We install and warrantee proven products with the latest efficiency technology. We know heating and cooling technology. Manufacturers have given us Gold Standard status.

Robert L. Ervin was a Colby College graduate, coach, and business owner. He did not have to look far to see the sound commercial potential in the Kennebec River. It had become the source of "frozen gold" for entrepreneurs shipping ice all over the world. Ervin's new business became the Spring Brook Ice Company, taken from the name of the crystal clear brook on Drummond Avenue that he dammed and harvested every winter.
You want your heating and cooling system to take care of you. That requires diligent maintenance and occasional replacement. It also requires the full knowledge of emerging technology and product design features to maximize efficiency. Energy systems cannot waste dollars. Whether a simple furnace cleaning or a full boiler replacement, Spring Brook expects quality work.
Spring Brook is a family-owned company, not a corporate environment. If you are looking for a small-town Maine business that has served Central Maine for three generations, these employment opportunities are for you! Wages are commensurate with experience. Full benefits include Health Insurance, Retirement Plan, Clothing/Boot Allowance, Cell Phone, Service Vehicle, and Vacation.
We offer incredible specials on fine Rinnai appliances. Price includes installation in most circumstances. The above price is based on an average use appliance and could be less for a lower capacity unit. One of our technicians would be happy to look at your home's needs. Why pay for electricity to heat your hot water continually when you use hot water infrequently?
Spring Brook has provided for the last 80 years to Central Maine. Oil continues to be one of the most popular heating methods in Central Maine. Our 500,000-gallon storage facility allows us to buy and store oil in the offseason to provide competitive pricing during the heating season. No other Central Maine oil delivery company has this type of asset.

Carl is the ONLY reason Springbrook functions properly and they would be at a total loss without him. We always do the prepay because it's cheaper (hopefully unless the price of oil drops by winter) and it has worked out every except once.
Do not get me started about the office staff because they are useless and I have no idea why they are still employed. They are the reason I'm taking off one star.

I have used springbrook for a few years, but recently found a much cheaper oil company to go thru. I called them and asked if i could have my kvcap voucher switched to this company and was told i could not by the woman who answered the phone. I then called kvcap and inquired with them and they told me it was a fairly easy process, i just needed to send an email with some details. I did that on May 19th. The following week i called kvcap to see if they recieved the email and they stated they did and sent it to Springbrook on Monday the 22nd and had i believe 10 days to send back the money. Here

Knowledgeable, detail-oriented, courteous, timely, considerate, respectful. These are just a few of the words that come to mind as I tried to describe how much I appreciate this company. These people treat their customers like family. Their service people are top notch, and they're willing to work with you.

I was a customer for years. I hired the furnace repair man from Springbrook. It was a disaster. He quoted me wrong, he left my house for hours then when he came back, I asked him where he went, and is he going to charge me for the hours he was gone. He told me to; 'stop my b&*&*&ng'. He was a big guy, he became belligerent, I told him to leave, and he refused. I called Springbrook and told them to get him out of my house or I was going to call the police. I went outside my house for safety. He left, I went and checked on my furnace and it was leaking horribly. I called Springbrook

Despite that review, we've now had constantly lousy service. Spring Brook service men have consistently incorrectly installed our wood pellet stove. They've even charged us for full days work for guys that just stood around looking at the stove rather than fixing the obvious problem. Despite being customers for years and now having written letters of complaint, we've never heard from them except their bills. We're through with them. I wish it weren't so, but I'd recommend finding another company to work with.
