About Us

The company was founded as Mutual Liquid Gas Company, Inc. and Mutual Liquid Gas Equipment Company, Inc. in 1933 by Joe Fagan and 52 stockholders.

The Equipment Company was a manufacturer and major supplier of lead-melting plumbers' furnaces and torches for the building trade. In 1970, plastic pipe entered the market and the company phased out of the manufacturing business. We then became a supplier of propane and related equipment.

In the early 1960's the bulk of the plants were in Southern California, Washington, and Alaska. The Company's policy in those days was to build up the area and then sell it off, so most of the bulk plants were sold between 1964 and 1965. This policy changed in 1965 after Joe Fagan passed away. Mel Moore then became the CEO and Major Shareholder.

In 1970, the company name was changed to the present name, Mutual Liquid Gas & Equipment Co., Inc., and Mutual Propane Company, Inc. During the early years, the gas company grew from cylinder exchanges to bulk tanks and even shipped gas to the pacific. It was a major shareholder in the formation of the Fiji Gas Company as a Mobil Oil distributor for Fiji and other Pacific Islands.

The Company currently has commercial and residential plants in Southern California and is also a major player in the promotion of propane as a motor vehicle fuel.

Although we have been servicing Southern Riverside County and Northern San Diego County for many years, Mutual Propane Of Temecula was established in 2003 to better service these areas. Since then, we have grown, but we never let that affect the way we treat our customers.
