Merion Station is the Lower Merion end of the Main Line, up against City Avenue and the Philadelphia boundary, built around its station on the old Pennsylvania Railroad. Merion Friends Meeting has stood here since the 1690s, and people locally still say Merion Park, Cynwyd Estates or Academyville rather than the ZIP.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Merion Station run off City Avenue, Montgomery Avenue, Old Lancaster Road, North Bowman Avenue, South Bowman Avenue, Merion Road, Meeting House Lane and Levering Mill Road.
The streets here wind and several are narrow with mature trees and cars parked along them, which matters more than distance. City Avenue is the boundary with Philadelphia and is heavy at rush hour. If your fill pipe is round the side of the house or the drive is tight, a note on the order saves the driver working it out on arrival.

Tanks in Merion Station homes
Substantial older houses on mature lots, a lot of stone and stucco, with twins and smaller singles closer to the station. Cellars almost everywhere. A 275 in the basement is the common arrangement, but houses of this age and size may take a 550, and some still have a tank in the ground outside from before the mains came through.

ZIP Code Tabulation Areas approximate postal ZIPs and don’t follow municipal boundaries, so these describe the ZIP rather than the borough or township exactly. The share heating with oil is left out here: the Census sample for this area is small enough that the published margin of error is wider than the estimate is useful, and we’d rather show nothing than a number we can’t stand behind.
Buying heating oil in Merion Station
Merion Station is a mostly gas-heated part of the Main Line with an oil minority in the older houses, and those are large houses — a fill here is often a bigger drop than the ZIP’s size suggests. Prices on this page are set against the cheapest competing quote in 19066 itself; Bala Cynwyd, Narberth and Wynnewood are separate ZIPs and price separately. 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 Merion Station?
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 Merion Station — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Merion Station, PA?+
Yes, to 19066. Bala Cynwyd next door is 19004 and Narberth is 19072 — both also served, and each priced on its own ZIP rather than as one Main Line rate.
Why is there no oil-share figure on the Merion Station page?+
The Census estimate for 19066 carries a margin of error too wide to publish — the oil count is small enough that the range around it is not useful. Everything else on this page stands; that one number does not, so it is left off.
I have a big old stone house in Merion. Will my tank be a 275?+
It may well be a 550 instead, and on a house of that age there may be an old tank outside as well as the one in use. Tell us the size and where the fill is when you order and there are no surprises on the day.
Can I get a 50-gallon delivery in Merion Station?+
Not in 19066 — the smallest band here is 100 gallons. That tier only exists in ZIPs where a competitor publishes one, and none does in this ZIP.
The streets near Merion station are narrow. Does that affect delivery?+
Rarely, but it is worth flagging. Some of the roads here are tight with parking on both sides and low branches. Mention it on the order and the driver plans for it.
