Fountain Hills, AZ (Oct. 15, 2025) — Legacy Energy Consulting, a leading firm in mergers and acquisitions advisory, announced the successful completion of the sale of Silver Valley Propane, located in Apple Valley, California, to an undisclosed buyer.
Silver Valley Propane was established in 1993 by Larry Charette in Newberry Springs, California, recognizing an unmet need for a dedicated propane provider. Starting with a bobtail, crane truck and some weathered tanks, the company was founded on principles of excellent service, fair pricing and strong community relationships. This business model proved successful, leading to expansion into Barstow, Baker, Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley, and Helendale by 2000.
Larry Charette from Silver Valley Propane commented that, “Chad and the team at Legacy Energy Consulting made what could have been a grueling, drawn-out process very seamless. From the first day working together they helped explain what to expect, what to do, and how best to do it to ensure the transaction and transition went exactly how we wanted. I can’t say enough positive words about the service and care provided by Legacy during this process.”
Chad Pendill, founder and president of Legacy Energy Consulting commented, "Larry has built an impressive enterprise and established Silver Valley Propane as a leading propane company in the southern California market. It was a pleasure getting to know Larry and his family and gaining their trust to represent them in the sale of their business."
Legacy Energy Consulting provided Silver Valley Propane with a full suite of merger and acquisition services. These included conducting the initial valuation, discreetly marketing the company to prospective buyers through an organized and efficient sale process, negotiating the final terms of the deal and overseeing the due diligence undertaken by both seller and buyer.
The transaction was managed by Chad Pendill and Tyler Pendill. This represents the fourth transaction completed by Legacy Energy Consulting in 2025 and the twenty-fifth since 2020.
