Buying heating oil in Fort Washington
Fort Washington is a small number of large houses — 284 on oil out of 2,484 — with a median household income of $164,531. Big envelopes, big fills, few customers per mile: that is the profile where a dealer’s margin per stop is highest and where a customer is least likely to have compared anything in years. 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 Fort Washington?
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 Fort Washington — common questions
How many Fort Washington homes heat with oil?+
284 of 2,484 occupied homes, or 11.4%. That is below the 14.0% area average but noticeably higher than neighboring Dresher or Oreland.
What is Highlands Mansion?+
A 1790s Georgian mansion and formal gardens off Sheaff Lane, now open to the public. It is the landmark most people picture when they think of Fort Washington.
Is Fort Washington named after an actual fort?+
After Continental Army earthworks thrown up in late 1777 as Washington’s army moved toward Valley Forge. The ground is now Fort Washington State Park.
Which delivery zone is Fort Washington priced in?+
The NE Philadelphia and Abington zone, so the smaller offset applies, already included in the quoted price.
I have a long wooded drive. Will the truck come down?+
Usually yes. Tell us if it is narrow, steep or has low branches — that decides the approach and is better known before the truck arrives.
What size tank do the older stone houses have?+
Often a 330, and sometimes two tanks linked, since central heating was fitted long after these houses were built.
