Our story

We started in Kingston in 1933. One promise.

In 1933 Edward S. Button began delivering diesel fuel and heating oil to customers in Kingston, PA, just across the Susquehanna from Wilkes-Barre. The promise — answer the phone, show up on time, charge a fair price — has not changed in four generations.

The company moved to Mountain Top in 1943, and it's been home ever since. Robert and Charles Button grew the residential routes; their sons Ed and Robert grew the fleet; and in 2011 the fourth generation — Amanda, Edward R., and Robert — took the reins.

Propane came in 2010, a transport division in 2012, overnight fleet fueling in 2018 — and in 2023, Button Oil & Propane became Button Energy. Still family-owned, still answering the phone, now delivering across twenty-one Pennsylvania counties.
