Rhoads Energy
624 S. Prince St, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States

Rhoads Energy of Companies was founded in 1917, when Jerome H. Rhoads began selling kerosene from the back of a rail car in Lancaster PA. As times changed, so did our products and services. We are now a full service company that can meet all of your heating and air conditioning needs: from heating oil, natural gas, and propane, to equipment installation and commercial fueling.  Since our founding, the Rhoads Energy Family of Companies has been in continuous operation as a family-owned, locally-based provider of heating and cooling services. 

Why Choose US?

• Fast response. Sometimes you run out of fuel oil unexpectedly. Or the air conditioning breaks down in the middle of an August heatwave. Our customers have come to expect a quick response when they need us most. Have we spoiled them? Maybe. Many times we’re able to deliver fuel or do a repair same-day.

• Fair pricing. There are a lot of energy companies fighting for your business. We do our best to keep prices low, while also paying our staff competitive wages and continually investing in our service offerings.

• We care about our staff. We hire good people and treat them right. Our team has responded with loyalty. On average, the staff tenure is longer than 10 years. Rhoads Energy is honored to have been included on the Best Places to Work in PA list.

• We love what we do. Service with a smile isn’t a cliché here. We genuinely care that you feel good about our service. Our goal is to provide service so good that you’ll recommend us to everyone you know.

• Deep roots in the community. Supporting the local community with our time and money is important to us. As a company, we support many local non-profits, including the United Way of Lancaster and youth sports teams.

Rhoads Energy provides commercial natural gas users with an important alternative to the big utilities. Here’s why:

• Local provider, local service: Rhoads Energy enables commercial customers of UGI or PECO to get a competitive estimate on natural gas rates — same natural gas, same delivery lines, different rates. And, while natural gas rates fluctuate, we are often able to offer lower and more stable rates to commercial users.
• Seeking solutions together: Our long-term business strategy: help customers solve problems. We operate as an advocate for the customer, helping to identify energy cost savings — even if that occasionally means directing a customer to another energy option.
• Equipment expertise: Our team has installed and serviced hundreds of natural gas systems in all settings, including commercial applications. We also specialize in converting oil heat systems to natural gas, when that makes the most sense for a commercial customer.
• You know your technician: Our customers enjoy top-notch service from certified natural gas technicians – highly skilled workers employed by Rhoads Energy, not subcontractors who may be from outside our area.

Many residential, agricultural, and commercial customers rely on propane. They also rely on Rhoads Energy because we offer:

• Reliability and value: Our team combines fast, safe delivery with competitively priced propane. Need automatic fill service? We’ll handle it for you.
• Flexibility: Customers can either purchase or lease propane tanks with no money down. With Rhoads Energy, the choice is yours.
• Quality: Our propane team has decades of experience in the installation of commercial propane equipment. Annual continuing education enables our propane technicians to focus on quality and safety when we maintain your propane system.

If your business operates a vehicle fleet, you know how important it is to control fleet fueling costs. Rhoads Energy partners with Pacific Pride to offer critical advantages to fleet fueling managers and drivers:

• Local service, national reach: Fleet fuelers who use Pacific Pride will get local service and support. At the same time, Pacific Pride offers a network of more than 57,000 fueling stations across North America.
• Strategic locations: Rhoads Energy operates four fully automated Pacific Pride locations in Central Pennsylvania that offer 24/7 year-round fleet fueling service, quick access, cardholder-only fueling, and a variety of fuel grades.
• Greater control: Pacific Pride helps you control fleet fueling costs because you get complete information for every purchase: who, what, when and where.
• Multiple payment options: Pacific Pride stations accept a range of fleet fueling cards including Voyager, Comdata, Fleet One, T-Chek, Wright Express, and TCH.
