Wilcox Energy History

We just celebrated another year, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Since 1955, Wilcox Energy has been serving residences along the CT shoreline and lower CT River Valley.

A lot has changed in the almost 70 years since our founding. Through the evolution of time, we have added propane delivery and service, HVAC installation, & ductless heat pump installations. Heating oil has evolved too. We now deliver a cleaner, greener Bioheat® blend of renewable fuel.

Throughout all the decades, one thing has remained certain: Wilcox Energy has always been built on the promise of offering quality, reliable service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Check out our timeline to learn more about our legacy.
