Bourne's Energy

What Bourne's Energy does

Bourne's Energy is a privately held, family-owned fuel and HVAC services company headquartered in Morrisville, Vermont. Founded in 1947 (or 1948 by other sources), the company delivers residential and commercial heating fuels — biofuel (including its proprietary B99 blend), propane, and wood pellets — across Vermont through six office locations, a proprietary delivery fleet, three diesel/biodiesel pump stations, and a propane autogas filling station. It also sells, installs, and services heating and cooling equipment under brands such as Fujitsu, Daikin, NTI, Rinnai, and Pellergy, supported by service agreements and 24/7 emergency service.

The company operates an in-house biofuel blending facility in Morrisville that produces B99 (99% biodiesel) and other blended products, positioning it as Vermont's most environmentally focused fuel distributor. Core technology includes a mobile app, an online "My Fuel Account" portal, wireless tank monitoring, and an Auto Delivery scheduling service that estimates fuel usage based on degree days, burner efficiency, past usage, and tank size. Distribution is omnichannel: direct delivery fleet, six Vermont offices, mobile app, phone-based customer service, and fuel pump stations.

The revenue model combines transactional fuel delivery (per gallon/per delivery), one-time HVAC equipment sales and installation, recurring service and maintenance agreements, and per-transaction vehicle fuels. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a referral program offering $50 credits for propane and oil, and Efficiency Vermont rebates available for qualifying heat pump installations. Customers include individual Vermont homeowners, commercial and industrial accounts, property managers, corporate affinity program participants, and vehicle fleet operators.
