Buying heating oil in Jenkintown
Only 6.4% of this ZIP is on oil, but the 487 homes that are split into two very different customers: small borough houses taking modest fills, and substantial Rydal properties taking large ones. If you are the second kind, the per-gallon difference between the best price and a mediocre one is worth several hundred dollars over a winter. 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 Jenkintown?
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 Jenkintown — common questions
How many homes in the Jenkintown ZIP use oil?+
487 of 7,659 occupied homes, or 6.4% — well under the 14.0% average across our area, because conversion along the Old York Road corridor has been going on for a long time.
Does 19046 cover more than Jenkintown Borough?+
Much more. The borough itself is tiny; the ZIP takes in Rydal, Noble and Rockledge across Abington Township, and all of it is served.
What is the Hiway Theater?+
A single-screen cinema on York Road that has been running since the 1910s, and the borough’s most recognizable building. Useful as a landmark when directing anyone.
Which zone is Jenkintown in?+
The NE Philadelphia and Abington zone, so the smaller offset applies. It is already in the quoted price.
What tank do the larger Rydal houses have?+
Usually a 330, and occasionally two tanks in the oldest properties. Bigger houses mean bigger fills, which is where price per gallon matters most.
How often can Jenkintown get same-day delivery?+
Reasonably often — it is close in. This page shows a live badge rather than a general promise.
