Family-Owned Local Business

Beaupre Fuels has been serving Southern Maine since 1947.

Family Owned Local Business!

Keeping a sense of community.

People in our local community do business where we feel welcome and we get the best value for our time and money. Businesses that have been in operation for a long period of time have invested much of their life savings in their businesses and have an interest in the long-term health of their community. We know that local businesses play a vital role in the community. The way local businesses play a role in the community is what we call the trickle-down effect. Local businesses will hire local contractors, local accountants, local consultants, local advertising, local attorneys, local florists, even employ local people. Local retailers are more likely to give local manufacturers new products a try. Local restaurants are more likely to give bakers, beer brewers, and local chefs products a try. A sandwich shop can sell products that are produced locally such as wine, beer, coffee, pastries, candy. A local florist might buy flowers from a local gardener. Get the picture? Businesses in the same community can benefit from each other as well as local people.


The success of local business depends on local people that patronize that business. Sometimes our perception of a local business is not always accurate when we continually hear corporate chains blast daily media ads. Smaller businesses can’t always compete with larger national companies with huge advertising budgets and must count on word of mouth, local search and social media to promote their companies. Local patrons are so important to smaller companies and it is great that local consumers are looking for the products and services they buy to be closer to home than ever before. Consumers are becoming more focused on quality, convenience, and dependability, therefore shopping locally.


Don’t get consumed with always looking for the bargain, consider quality, dependability, honesty, and community when making a buying decision. If you need service will the business be available next week, next month or even next year? Doing business locally can be more convenient, cost-effective, and attractive. Give your local businesses an opportunity to serve you.

How To Choose A Competent Local Fuel Oil Company


When considering who to trust to keep your house warm here are some things to keep in mind. The cold winter months mean you should find a competent fuel company that you can trust. Your research should find a company that cares about the environment and is environmentally friendly and offers environmentally friendly fuel. Find out what fuels are used by the company. You probably have an idea of what type of services you would want the fuel oil company to offer. Their website should tell you what type of services they will provide if you decide to work with them. Are they a full service company that provides furnace restarts, furnace repair or furnace cleaning? Does the company work with their valuable oil clients and offer price protection plans, discount plans, contracts, and payment plans? Find a company that offers auto delivery to ensure you won’t run out of fuel should temperatures drop and your consumption rate goes up. Find a company that will provide 24/7 service and emergency support should you have a need for fuel at an odd time. Are there costs associated with emergency service and what are they? It is important that you find a fuel oil company that will meet the heating needs for your home or business. A local company that cares about you and your safety is important.
