Heating Oil Delivery on Long Island
Heating oil remains the primary fuel source for a large share of homes across Nassau and Suffolk County. Unlike natural gas, which requires street-level infrastructure, oil heat is available throughout Long Island — including areas where gas service is limited or absent.
We offer two delivery options. Automatic delivery tracks your usage based on weather data and past consumption, and schedules your delivery before you run low — no calls required. Will-call delivery puts you in control: you monitor your tank gauge and call when it's time. Most homeowners should reorder when the gauge reads 1/4 full.
Our delivery service covers Nassau and Suffolk County, including towns often underserved by larger regional distributors. Emergency delivery is available when you've run out of oil or are critically low — call us directly for availability.

Oil Tank Inspection & Certification
Your heating oil tank is a critical part of your home's heating system — and one of the more overlooked maintenance items. Above-ground residential tanks (typically 275 or 500 gallons) have a lifespan of approximately 20–30 years, but corrosion can develop much sooner depending on installation location, humidity, and tank quality.
We perform annual oil tank inspections that check for:
- ✓Exterior corrosion, rust, or soft spots on tank walls
- ✓Fitting and valve integrity — loose fittings are a common leak source
- ✓Oil odor around the tank or fill pipe area
- ✓Tank legs for rust or structural weakness
- ✓Fill cap and vent pipe condition
- ✓Proximity to heat sources or ignition risks
Tanks showing significant corrosion or damage should be replaced before they fail. A leaking oil tank creates an environmental hazard — oil contamination in soil can cost far more to remediate than a straightforward tank swap.
Oil Tank Replacement & Installation
When a tank reaches end of life or fails inspection, replacement is the safest option. We handle above-ground tank replacement and underground tank decommissioning across Long Island.
Above-Ground Tank Replacement
Above-ground tank replacement is a straightforward process: drain the old tank, disconnect fittings, remove the old tank, position the new unit, and reconnect the fuel lines. A standard 275-gallon above-ground replacement typically costs $1,500–$3,500 installed, depending on tank location, fill lines, and any needed riser work.
Underground Tank Decommissioning
Many Long Island homes — particularly those built before the 1980s — have underground oil storage tanks (USTs) that may still be in place, sometimes unknown to current owners. Decommissioning a UST in Suffolk County requires a permit through the county and must comply with NYSDEC regulations. The process involves excavation, tank removal or abandonment-in-place, and soil sampling. If contamination is found, a remediation assessment is required.
Underground decommissioning typically costs $2,000–$5,000+ depending on tank size, access conditions, and whether soil testing reveals contamination. We manage the permit application and full process — you don't have to navigate county requirements alone.
