Three generations of keeping you warm

Swanzey Oil will make you part of our family. We're here for you!

Our story

A family business since 1968

Victor Patnode started the family business in 1968, serving the community as Vic and Son's. In 1970, Robert Patnode took over under the name Patnode Oil, and Robert and Dorothy ran it until the early 2000s.

In August 2005, Todd and Lisa Patnode started Swanzey Oil and grew it into what it is today: a true third-generation oil company delivering quality heating oil, kerosene, gasoline and diesel. In May 2016 we added a full-service heating department.
