Shotmeyer Bros

Back in 1926, Henry and his brother Albert had an opportunity to enter the petroleum industry as mechanics and gasoline attendants. Due to the young mens strong work ethic and natural ability to administer the finest customer service, they became known as 'the two nice Dutch boys' at the filling station on Lincoln Avenue in Hawthorne. Word spread quickly and business dramatically increased. They soon purchased the business and that became the beginning of a long legacy of success for the company. Armed with enthusiasm for customer service, they worked night and day to build their empire.  They soon purchased more and more gasoline filling stations and then began building their own. All the while they also grew their heating oil and diesel fuel company, intending to be the best in the marketplace. They hand-picked employees and led them by example to be part of their dream. In retrospect, throughout the long careers of 'the two nice Dutch Boys' they amassed hundreds of service stations, and built a strong bond with their heating oil customers in northern New Jersey. Although Henry is no longer with us, he instilled the spirit of his dream in everyone at Shotmeyer Brothers. He was at the helm right up to the end, when he passed away at 100 years young. He came to work every day; it was his favorite pastime.  Long time President, Charles P. Shotmeyer, passed the torch to his son, Charles H. Shotmeyer as President, and Charles P., is now CEO. They each in turn inherited their fathers work ethic, and run the company with same dream and passion. There is always family on board continuing the legacy of 'excellence in service to our customers.

Convert from Oil to Natural Gas for Your Heating Needs

When thinking about natural gas, the main question that comes to mind is, which is the better choice? In the end, there are benefits to both, at Shotmeyer Bros, we can work with you to help find the system that best fits your needs.  Natural gas is a clean-burning alternative fuel that you can also use to power many of the appliances and systems in your home—reducing your electricity usage. In the kitchen, the high degree of control and precise temperatures you get with a gas range cant be beat. Natural gas is also a quick, efficient way to heat water for the dishwasher, washing machine, showers and spa tubs. When storms knock out the electricity, a natural gas-powered backup generator will keep your lights and everything else running until the utility companies can make repairs.  Making the switch typically takes a little more than two days, and Shotmeyer Bros. technicians have the skills and training to make sure your conversion is done correctly, safely and with minimum disruption.
