Webber Oil Company, based in Bangor, Maine, is a major wholesaler of home heating fuels and gasoline in Maine and New Hampshire. In addition to providing oil and propane for home heating needs, the privately held company provides a variety of other services, including installation of heating equipment, rental of space heaters and hot water heaters, servicing of heating equipment and fuel tanks, and a remote monitoring service that ensures a home heating system is operational while the owners are away—an important consideration during frigid Maine winters. Webber also operates 16 gas stations combined with convenience stores.
