MacFarlane Energy Founder, Peter MacFarlane, was born in Boston's South End in 1919. Son to a widowed mother of three, Peter began working in the oil business at the age of 12. He worked part time, after school, delivering oil in five-gallon cans. Following his service in the Pacific Theatre of World War II, Peter returned to the oil business he had worked for before the war. He worked there until 1946 when he purchased the business and established Peter MacFarlane Oil Inc.
MacFarlane Oil started as a one-truck operation. Peter delivered the oil, serviced the burners, and installed new equipment by himself. Peter's wife Frieda managed the bookkeeping and correspondence, while raising a family of five. Since the passing of Peter MacFarlane in 1987, his son Scott has operated MacFarlane Oil. A Needham resident, Scott continues this tradition of self-improvement in order to pass the benefits on to our loyal customers.
