McKeown and Wood Limited has been a part of
the community since 1947.

Harold & Helen Wood Gervais McKeown Jim & Mary Anne Wood

Since 1947 McKeown and Wood has evolved and slowly grown as we continue to meet the challenges of the heating, air conditioning and bulk fuel delivery business.

We provide full service to our customers including sales, installation and 24 hour service of all types of heating and cooling systems and Enerworks Solar Hot Water Systems as well as efficient delivery of bulk fuels and propane and PetroCanada lubricants. Jim Wood carries on the family business began by his father Harold Wood.

In the past two years, McKeown and Wood has found opportunities to grow in the area and now have increased our client base in Kingston, Picton, Belleville and Carrying Place. Through this growth we have continued to offer our customers the best possible personal service from a dedicated, experienced and friendly staff. As one of the few locally owned and operated fuel businesses, we continue to believe that customer service is the most important aspect of our business. We welcome our customers to stop in our offices anytime to discuss their heating/cooling/lubrication needs.

Having fully licensed personnel and an established business means that customers have the security of knowing their heating contractor and fuel provider will be around when they need them - today, tomorrow or 10 years from now.

Growing to meet the needs of our communities
