The primary mission for East River Energy, Petroleum Distributor, is at the least to sustain, but moreover, improve the lives of our customers and help meet the basic needs of human comforts with particular attention to providing heating equipment and the proper petroleum products that will keep them safe and warm in their homes and businesses. Our journey began in September of 1984 when Ed Walker founded East River Oil in a little office on State Street in Guilford, CT. The following year, current President and CEO Don Herzog joined East River Oil, bringing a wealth of sales experience with commercial, governmental, and municipal entities to guide the company to the next level. East River Oil was then renamed East River Energy to more accurately represent our vast array of capabilities and products, including heating oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, propane and natural gas. Herzog was integral in East River’s expansion and formidable presence across the State of Connecticut and throughout the Northeast.
