Litchfield and New Haven county propane and heating oil provider Bantam Fuel will soon be operating under a new name: Bantam Home & Energy.
The company is changing its name to reflect its expanded product and service offerings from beyond heating oil and propane gas delivery and service, said President Peter Aziz.
The name change is scheduled to take effect next week.
Bantam Fuel employs more than 50 people and services several thousand propane and heating oil customers across the two counties.
The company, which now also offers such services as plumbing and generator installation, is changing its name for the third time in its 83-year history.
Founded in 1930 as the Bantam Supply Co., the firm acquired the Litchfield Fuel Co. in 1981 and changed its name to Bantam Supply & Litchfield Fuel before shortening it to just Bantam Fuel in 2000.
