Our History
The Birth Of Chair City Oil
Shortly after returning from World War II, Paul Tourigny and two close friends purchased a small gasoline and auto service station on Main Street in Gardner, Massachusetts. Chair City Oil was born.
By working long, hard hours they were able to raise families, grow the business, and eventually expand by buying an old oil truck and delivering home heating oil to area homes. Competition was stiff back then and dozens of small companies sprang up to meet the needs of the central oil heating boom.
As the oil heating market matured, it became clear that to serve all of their oil customers heating needs, the company must also install and service heating systems and equipment. Paul learned all he could about "modern" oil heat and took every opportunity to get the schooling and experience needed to become and expert and a leader in the local oil heat industry.
Over the past 60 years, much has changed for the little gas station. Over time, Paul Tourigny purchased all the shares of his partners and in the 70's he was joined by his sons David and Michael. Throughout the company's growth and evolution its goal has never changed - focus on complete customer satisfaction by providing for all their heating needs quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
