In 1989, Chiles Oil joined Pacific Pride, a fleet fueling franchise supplying commercial accounts 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Chiles Oil was one of the few franchisees east of the Mississippi and the first in the southeast U.S.West Chiles knew he wanted to carry on the family legacy, and in 1990 received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Petroleum Distribution from Western Michigan University. In the early 1990s, West took the company in another direction, serving commercial and industrial accounts with propane.

In the late 1990s, West expanded the propane division to serving residential customers, forming Chiles Propane, LLC.  The company’s base is providing a secure propane supply year-round for residential and commercial users without the usual irritation of price gouging and delayed or canceled deliveries during cold winter months or adverse weather conditions.

In 2009, Chiles again expanded, and now also installs and services heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).  In 2012, Chiles became a Carrier Dealer, which allows customers the ability to one-stop shop for all of their summer and winter comfort needs. 

Whether it’s HVAC installation and repairs, propane sales and installations, fireplace logs, or on-demand water heaters, Chiles can meet your family’s and your business’ comfort needs all year long.

While growing up, West worked at his grandfather’s service station or at the plant with his parents after school. He loved to work at the service station and would run out to greet customers as they pulled up for gas. 

As West says, those days were the days of full service at gas stations, when  “Fill’er up” meant just that.  West knew to take care of not only the gas, but also the tires, water, oil, windshield, and air filter. For the customer’s safety and the vehicle’s reliability, those were the basics and were standard with every fill-up.

“We’re old fashioned,” West says today. “At Chiles Propane Heating and Cooling, we believe customers appreciate full service and are happy to be unexpectedly surprised when they receive it. We serve our customers’ needs just like my Grandfather Ben did when he took care of your father’s or grandfather’s 1965 Chevy truck or helped you squeeze a few more miles out of the family car.”
