Rhoads Energy announced today that it has completed a transaction that adds HB Home Services Heating Oil and Propane customers to its growing portfolio. HB Home Services previously operate as part of HB McClure.
The purchase further extends Rhoads Energy’s fuel delivery territory into parts of Cumberland, Dauphin, and York Counties. It also brings reliable service from a locally owned company to a large swath of heating oil and propane customers.
Rhoads Energy, founded in 1917, offers fuel delivery, fleet fueling, and a wide range of other offerings. The employee-owned company also operates Cool Crew, a division of 50+ experienced technicians that installs and services home comfort equipment.
As part of the purchase, HB Home Services drivers and trucks will join Rhoads Energy’s sizable delivery fleet.
“We’re looking forward to helping our new customers discover the benefits of doing business with our team,” said Michael DeBerdine, CEO of Rhoads Energy. “We’re also excited that we have the capability to offer fuel delivery service to all the homes in the Harrisburg metro region.”
Before the transaction, Rhoads Energy’s territory included Lancaster, Lebanon, Chester, Berks, and Montgomery Counties. With the addition of HB Home Services fuel customers, Rhoads will expand its footprint to the northwest. The added service area comprises the region stretching from Hershey, through Harrisburg and into Carlisle. It will also include much of northern York County.
New customers will have immediate access to Rhoads Energy’s enhanced customer services: online account access, automatic payment, budget billing, texting notifications, and more.
This is just the most recent expansion for Rhoads Energy. Over the past two decades, Rhoads Energy has experienced continuous growth, both organically and through a series of acquisitions. The company offers a wide range of service to tens of thousands of customers every year.
