B G Mellinger & Son Inc

B.G. Mellinger & Son is a family owned and operated business (a home oil company) that has been a part of the community since 1880. Our goal is to provide friendly efficient service with a personal touch. One way we have chosen to do that is to have a “real person” answer the phone during regular office hours, not an electronic voice menu. We have a service department that is “on call” 24/7 so that our customers can have peace of mind that their heating and cooling needs are taken care of. We believe that we can provide quality, comfort and reliability that other full service oil companies can not match. We welcome the opportunity to serve you.

Our History 

In March of 1880 Benjamin G Mellinger and his brother William bought the train station from Andrew Mehaffey and started B.G. Mellinger & Son. The train station was on the Philadelphia & Reading rail line that ran from Lancaster to Quarryville. B.G. Mellinger & Son served the community with freight service, coal, lumber, and passenger service. In February of 1893 John Wanamaker commissioned Baumgardner station as a post office. As the trolley system developed in the early 1900’s the mail and passenger service ended.

Highboy Oil Furnace

• A highboy is a tall furnace with the blower located under the heat exchanger.
• Now offering the OHC95 OIL CONDENSING FURNACE (Ultra-High Efficiency 95% AFUE) in the highboy style.
• Condensing furnaces use a second heat exchanger to reclaim some of the heat that is lost in the form of water vapor. The water vapor
• in the exhaust is condensed, releasing additional useable heat, and lowering the exhaust temperature to the point where it can be vented outdoors using pvc pipe.

Low Profile Oil Furnace

• The OH6 is designed to fit nicely in your low ceiling basement since it is 11″ shorter than a typical highboy furnace.
• It is compatible with the new more efficient air conditioners (the new AC evaporator coils are much taller than older coils). This means
• the lower furnace height makes the installation job less cumbersome for installers and saves on your costs.
• It features easier servicing due to improved heat exchanger cleanout locations, which also means a savings for you.
• The OH6 utilizes the Thermo Pride 13- gauge copper coated Octatherm heat exchanger.
• The OH6 provides Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiencies (AFUE) up to 86.1%.
• With a simple nozzle change to vary the firing rates, your contractor can customize the OH6 to meet the specific needs of your home.
