Burlington is a river city with a colonial main street and a township wrapped around it, and 08016 covers both. High Street runs from the Delaware inland past the Library Company of Burlington, chartered by George II in 1757 and the oldest library in continuous operation in New Jersey, while Broad Street carries the RiverLINE tracks down the middle of the road, between the houses and the parked cars.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Burlington run off High Street, West Broad Street, East Broad Street, Reed Street, Federal Street, Washington Avenue, Burlington Pike, the Burlington Bypass and the Burlington–Bristol Bridge.
The RiverLINE runs in the roadway on Broad Street, so the truck cannot stop anywhere it likes and cannot cross the tracks to reach the far curb. Which side of the street your fill is on genuinely changes how the stop is made — it is worth a line in the order notes.

Tanks in Burlington homes
Along Broad and High Streets it is nineteenth-century: brick rowhouses with front stoops on one side, gabled frame houses with deep porches on the other, all with cellars that took a coal chute first and an oil tank second. The township beyond — Springside, Town Estates, the roads toward Mount Holly — is post-war and later, with wider lots, driveways, and tanks in basements or utility rooms rather than under the front pavement.

Buying heating oil in Burlington
Burlington is the biggest ZIP we serve in Burlington County by households — 12,972 — and one of the smallest by oil, 338 homes, about two and a half percent. The city converted early because the gas main follows the same old streets the houses do. What is left is scattered rather than clustered, which is the case for ordering online rather than waiting for a truck that happens to be passing: nobody is running a dense route past your door here, so the price should not be set as though they were. 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 Burlington?
Order a dollar amount, a number of gallons, or ask for a fill — whichever way you actually think about it. You pay only for the gallons that actually go in, and if the tank takes less, your price per gallon doesn’t go up.
Heating oil in Burlington — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Burlington, NJ?+
Yes, to 08016, which covers both Burlington City and Burlington Township. Beverly and Edgewater Park next door are 08010 and have their own page.
The RiverLINE runs down my street. Can a tanker still get to me?+
Yes. The trains share the roadway on Broad Street rather than blocking it, and the drivers know where they can and cannot stand. What helps is telling us which side of the street your fill is on, because crossing the tracks to reach it is not always an option.
What is the minimum order in Burlington?+
100 gallons. A 275-gallon cellar tank in one of the Broad Street houses typically takes 180 to 220 gallons from low, so the minimum is rarely the binding constraint.
Do city and township addresses get the same price?+
Yes — 08016 is one ZIP and is priced as one, whether the address is on High Street or out past the bypass. The drive differs; the price does not.
My house is in the historic district and there is no driveway. Where does the truck go?+
It stops in the street, as close to level with the fill as it can get, and runs hose from there. That is the standard arrangement on High Street and the numbered streets, and it is why a note about permit parking or a blocked curb saves a second visit.
