**Wilsons Company History**:
In 1909, Wilsons started a coal company to supply fuel to the buildings they built, as well as others in the region. As the business focus changed from construction to fuel, the present name of Wilson Fuel Co. Limited was adopted. Wilsons was the only Nova Scotia coal company to make the transition from coal to oil while remaining independent of multinational oil companies. After dropping coal and adding propane and heating equipment, Wilsons is now established as a leading independent fuel oil and propane supplier in Nova Scotia. With the addition of HVAC business Halifax Heating, now Wilsons Mechanical, and security integrator Wilsons Security, Wilsons serves thousands of Canadian homes and business owners with pride every day.

The Wilson Fuel Co Ltd has been recognized as one of “Canada’s Fifty Best Managed Companies.”
