About Company

This is a summary of the products and services our company provides to the Franklin County area. Our business was started on Main Street in 1928 and moved around the corner to 19 W.

What does this mean to you?? Hopefully you will find our consistent and stable service to be a pleasant change from todays trend of "recordings" and "voicemail".

Heating Fuels

For 79 years we have provided quality heating fuels for the Franklin County area. During those years other local retailers have gone out of business, changed their names, or been bought out, however through all the changes McCleary Oil Co., Inc. has continued to be a stable source of heating fuels.  We have a dependable and secure supply of products as well as a dedicated group of employees that allows us to provide heating fuels to our customers.  Heating Oil, or #2 Oil, is the predominant heating product used in residential homes. Heating Oil is a refined product derived from crude oil. Heating oil is a non-explosive product as it will not burn in a liquid state(as it is stored in your tanks). In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140 degrees, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize. 

Kerosene

 #1 Oil, is also a refined product derived from crude oil. Kerosene, unlike Heating oil will not “gel up” during freezing temperatures. With this characteristic, most outside(aboveground) tanks normally use Kerosene. In addition, many mobile home furnaces require Kerosene to operate properly.

Propane

Propane (LP) is a liquefied petroleum gas that comers out of both oil and natural gas wells. Propane does not occur naturally though.  Raw crude oil or raw natural gas is refined to make different types of petroleum products, one of which is propane. Following its refinement, propane is stored as a liquid under pressure until utilized, at which point it becomes a gas. Additional information can be found at www.usepropane.com.  Propane has many uses in addition to home heating such as cooking, hot water, clothes drying, fireplace, outdoor fireplace, generators, and more.

Tank Installation

There are many options for storing propane at your home. Unlike heating oil tanks, propane must be stored outdoors. Tank sizes range from 23 gallons to 2,000 gallons for most home applications. Tank size is based on the specific demand of the home. Tanks can be installed aboveground or underground. Underground propane tanks do not have any environmental concerns, and with proper protection can last 40-50 years. We can provide the tanks as well as the piping from the tank to your appliance.  Which is the best product for your application? The fuel product that would suit your specific needs can vary. Heating oil has the most BTUs(measure of heat units) of heat compared to propane, however propane has the flexibility of providing other options such as a fireplace, cooking, clothes drying, outdoor grill, back-up generator, and lighting. Give us a call and we will be glad to discuss which product fits your specific needs.
