In 1930, Art Main attached a 275 gallon tank to his flat bed
truck and began delivering kerosene, then a common fuel for
heating and cooking, to area residents. Spenser Main soon
joined the growing business, and Main Brothers Oil Company
(Main-Care) came to be. The Main family presided over the
company until their passing in the mid 1960’s. Having no heirs,
they left their proud legacy to their employees, and Main-Care
Energy became fully employee-owned.
Today we are a company of dedicated employee-owners who
are committed to maintaining the high standards
established by our founders. Our employee-owners are
also customers residing in your community. And as
customers we want the same thing you do - the security
of knowing you’ll receive dependable delivery and
reliable service. That’s why “Service That Never Sleeps”
– 24 hours a day, 365 days a year has been our
long-standing adage. No matter what time of day or night
you call, you will speak with one of our team of
employee-owners who is always ready to help. Plus, with
our employee-owners living in your neighborhood you are
assured of prompt response to your heating and cooling
emergencies.
We have listened to our customers’
needs and suggestions thus developing convenient
programs that roll your energy needs and our unbeatable
service into economical “bundled” service and energy
packages. Recently we announced our new premier parts
and labor service plan: The Gold Plus “Total Home
Comfort” package that you customize to fit your specific
needs. Our customers also helped design our Price
Protection programs that offer Double Protection -
whether the price of fuel goes up or down, you are
protected.
Since 1995, with the approval of
deregulation we began offering natural gas for your home
or business. In fact, we’re proud to say that Main-Care
Energy is one of the largest Public Service Commission
approved suppliers of natural gas in New York State.
In 2000 we took a unique position as an energy
supplier…we became partners with ENERGY STAR®. As an
ENERGY STAR® Partner, our heating and cooling
specialists can show you how to conserve energy and
reduce your energy costs. If you have high energy bills,
or rooms that won’t heat or cool properly, we can help
with an on site energy analysis.
Throughout our seventy plus years, Main-Care Energy
falls back on over fifteen-million man-hours of service in your neighborhood
to keep you warm and secure. When you couple the products
we provide with our “Service That Never Sleeps”, you can see
why people put their trust in Main-Care Energy. With strong
roots in our communities we’ll be here serving you for another
seventy-five years and beyond.
