Bala Cynwyd sits immediately over City Avenue from Philadelphia — close enough that the Cynwyd Heritage Trail runs from its old station down to the Schuylkill and the city boundary. It is the closest-in part of the Main Line we deliver to, and one of the oldest-built.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Bala Cynwyd run off City Avenue, Belmont Avenue, Montgomery Avenue, Conshohocken State Road, Bala Avenue, Rock Hill Road, Levering Mill Road and Bryn Mawr Avenue.
The streets are narrow, mature and often parked, and City Avenue and Belmont are busy enough that a truck will work off them rather than on them. Where the fill sits, and whether the block has anywhere legal to stand, is the useful information.

Buying heating oil in Bala Cynwyd
Bala Cynwyd is 339 of 4,216 households on oil, 8%. That is a substantial share for somewhere this close to the city, and the reason is age: these houses went up before the gas main reached every street, and the stone ones were built with room for a proper tank. Orders here run larger than the rowhouse ZIPs over the line in Philadelphia. Prices move daily with the wholesale rack, which is why the number above is today’s and not last week’s. Local dealers compete on this page, so the lowest price is always at the top — we don’t sell placement above a better price.
How much oil do you need in Bala Cynwyd?
Order a dollar amount, a number of gallons, or ask for a fill — whichever way you actually think about it. Tell us your tank size and what the gauge reads and we’ll warn you before you pay if the tank won’t take it all. You’re charged only for the gallons that actually go in, and if it takes less, your price per gallon doesn’t go up.
Heating oil in Bala Cynwyd — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Bala Cynwyd, PA?+
Yes, to 19004, which takes in Bala, Cynwyd and Belmont Hills. Merion Station next door is 19066 and Gladwyne is 19035 — both also served, each on its own ZIP.
How much of Bala Cynwyd heats with oil?+
339 of 4,216 occupied homes, about 8% — a higher share than any Philadelphia ZIP we serve, Wissinoming included, and these are much larger houses.
I am right on City Avenue, a minute from Philadelphia. Which price applies?+
19004’s. Every ZIP is priced on its own against what is quoted there, so being close to the city line does not put you on a Philadelphia price or a Main Line one — just your own.
What size tank is usual in a Bala Cynwyd house?+
A 275 in the cellar for most of the twins, and sometimes a 330 or larger in the bigger stone singles. Tell us which you have so the driver brings enough.
There is nowhere to park on my street. How does that work?+
The truck stops as near level with the fill as it can and runs hose. It is the usual arrangement on these blocks — a note about permit parking prevents a wasted trip.
