T.H. Malloy & Sons

What T.H. Malloy & Sons does

T.H. Malloy & Sons, Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned fuel delivery and HVAC services company founded in 1935 by Thomas Henry Malloy and headquartered at 106 Scott Road, Cumberland, Rhode Island. The company serves residential and commercial customers across 64+ towns in Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts, delivering home heating oil (including BioHeat biofuel blends), propane, bulk and on-site diesel, marine fuel, and emergency generator fuel. Service offerings extend beyond fuel delivery into equipment installation and upgrades — propane furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, Mini Splits, and AC systems — supported by 24/7 emergency dispatch and automatic delivery backed by tank monitoring.

The business operates with no proprietary software platform, app, or AI-driven systems; the technology footprint is limited to IoT-based tank telemetry for automatic refills and a customer portal (DeliveryPay) for account management. Revenue is generated through usage-based per-gallon fuel pricing, subscription service plans ($199/yr Maintenance and $329/yr Ultimate), retail pump station sales at the Cumberland headquarters, and professional services for equipment installation. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer (phone, web forms, local SEO via town-specific landing pages) supplemented by field sales for commercial and industrial accounts handled by account representatives such as Hank Demers.

The company employs 11–50 people with several long-tenured staff (Karin Fleming 20+ years, Craig Emerson 22 years, Hank Demers 10+ years) and is actively hiring CDL drivers and oil burner technicians. Ownership remains entirely within the Malloy family with no institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity disclosed. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
