Beginning in 1909, Wilsons Heating was started as a way to heat the buildings built by the Wilson family’s construction company, which had a hand in helping to rebuild Dartmouth in the wake of the Halifax Explosion.

Starting out by offering coal delivery, Wilsons eventually transitioned to offering oil instead; the only local company to remain independent in doing so. In the 1970’s, we began selling propane; among the first to provide this efficient fuel choice in the region.

In the 2000s, Wilsons Heating expanded into heat pumps and air handlers by welcoming the staff and clients of Halifax Heating Residential, under the brand now known as Wilsons Mechanical. Then in 2017, the team at Moncton Propane Services joined the Wilsons Heating family to deepen our propane service offerings for clients in New Brunswick.

Meanwhile, in 2009, Wilsons Security was established and operates independently of Wilsons Heating and Wilsons Mechanical, offering residential and commercial security, fire, and life safety solutions in cities across Canada.

Giving back is extremely important to us; Wilsons Heating supports non-profits and initiatives doing valuable work in our cities and towns including public-use facilities, youth sporting programs, arts & culture festivals, and charities. In 2011, Rose Wilson and David K Wilson were presented with the Red Cross NS Power of Humanity Humanitarian award.

Wilsons Heating is a proud Atlantic Canada-based company with over 100 years of commitment to our customers and communities. As always, our service is Warmly Delivered.
