The Connecticut Propane Company History
It all started with ice and wood.
In 1915, two brothers began the Spicer journey by delivering ice and firewood to your homes and businesses. They built a company on honesty, integrity and an unwavering dedication to you, the customer. Through 100 years, three generations and a great deal of hard work, we’ve stayed committed to these values, while keeping you warm and saving you money.
Today, we distribute propane gas and heating oil to Coastal and Eastern Connecticut, South-Central Massachusetts, and all of Rhode Island. Spicer Hearth & Home, located in Salem, CT, offers fireplace inserts, hot water heaters, outdoor fire pits, grills, and accessories.
Spicer Propane & Oil in Putnam, CT is our newest location at 63 School Street, Putnam – this location offers the same reliable services you’ve come to expect, with enhanced customer support and easier access for all of your heating needs. Whether you’re looking for propane delivery, oil services, or expert advice on how to keep your home warm and efficient, Spicer Propane & Oil is here to help. Visit us at our new office or contact us today to learn more about how we can serve you.
In 1915 George & Harry Elion began supplying ice and firewood to local homes and businesses. This small family-run ice and wood company quickly evolved. In the 20s, they added coal; in the 40s, they added fuel oil and in the 50s, they added propane gas. The entities became two corporations, Spicer Fuel Co., Inc. and Spicer Gas Co., Inc., and are now collectively known as Spicer Plus, Inc.
In 1979 Larry Chesler, grandson of George Elion, left a law practice in Groton and joined Spicer Fuel. In 1988 John Holstein of Stonington, owner and developer of multiple southeastern Connecticut businesses which have included Noank Shipyard, Waterford Speedbowl, and The Packer Building, acquired the outstanding interests of Harry Elion. Together, they became the 3rd generation of successful Spicer energy distributors serving southeastern Connecticut operators.
In September 2003, Spicer opened its new Mobil/Dunkin Donut facility at Exit 93 North Stonington.
In 2007, Spicer Plus merges with Advanced Gas in Salem, Connecticut. Advanced Gas was established in 1997 as a grill & hearth shop at Salem Four Corners specializing in gas fireplaces, stoves, and outdoor cooking equipment and installations. Soon after, Advanced Gas added home deliveries of propane and moved to their current location at 183 East Haddam Rd in Salem and quickly became known as the premier hearth store throughout Southeastern Connecticut and Southern Rhode Island.
Spicer expands its business operations to include a new office in Putnam, Connecticut. The new location offers enhanced customer support and easier access to all of Northeastern CT, South-Central MA and Rhode Island’s heating needs. The new office is located at 63 School Street, Putnam, Connecticut.
"I wanted to thank you for all your extra efforts. You took the time to explain what Spicer could do and what we had to do to get the fuel for our residential generator. You are a professional and very much appreciated."

"Jake arrived yesterday and did a wonderful job. Working well now. Our compliments to him; knowledgeable and personable. He said you opted to replace the whole unit instead of one part. Thank you. Hopefully it will run forever with proper cleaning. Thank you so much for your service and help. You are great. My mother is always cold now so the stove is truly needed."

"Just want to drop a note to say how pleased we are with the gas insert. It is working better than we expected. The installers were very professional and friendly and the gentleman who explained the operation made it easy to follow.
Thank you again."

"My former repairman told me that both the heater in my shop and in an apartment needed to be replaced. I called Spicer, ordered heaters, at a very fair price. When the workmen from Spicer arrived to install the new heaters, they examined the existing units and told me that there was no need to replace them they could be repaired! Spicer saved me $100.00's."
