Polar Gas, founded in 1960, has evolved from a small fuel company into a trusted provider of propane services in Colorado. Originally launched as Reed Oil Company by Bruce Reed, the business began with gasoline and diesel sales in Brighton, Colorado. The family-run operation saw significant growth when Sam Reed took the reins at the age of 24, transitioning the company’s focus to propane in the mid-1980s. In 2001, to reflect this change, the company was rebranded as Polar Gas. Today, it continues to be a family affair, with Sam’s sons, Chris and Nathan, leading the company since 2002. Under their management, Polar Gas has expanded its operations significantly, adding several bulk plants across Colorado.
Polar Gas prides itself on exceptional service and fostering strong relationships built on trust with its customers. This commitment to quality led to the partnership with ThompsonGas, allowing Polar Gas customers access to greater resources and nationwide support while retaining the localized service they value. The company focuses on delivering propane solutions for both residential and commercial clients, ensuring they receive efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
Additionally, Polar Gas is dedicated to sustainability through its participation in the Green Gas Initiative, which aims to promote clean energy and reduce the carbon footprint of their operations. As part of the ThompsonGas family, they strive to educate communities about the advantages of propane, a low-carbon fuel with numerous applications including residential heating, business operations, agriculture, and more. With a history rooted in family values and a forward-looking approach to clean energy, Polar Gas remains Colorado’s trusted provider of propane services.
