Tanks in New Hope homes
The oldest stock we serve. Stone farmhouses and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century village houses along River Road and through Lahaska and Center Bridge, many with additions from several different centuries, plus modern houses on large wooded lots out toward Windy Bush. Tank locations are genuinely unpredictable here — cellars with stone steps, outbuildings, and a higher share of buried tanks than anywhere else in the county.

Buying heating oil in New Hope
New Hope is a small number of homes spread over a very large area, which is exactly the shape that gets a customer overcharged when they stay with one company out of habit. 1,614 households here heat with oil across 40.9 square miles, so the drive is real and it is priced into the Upper Bucks zone — but that is all the more reason to make dealers compete for the stop rather than accepting whatever last winter cost. 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 New Hope?
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 New Hope — common questions
Does the New Hope ZIP cover Solebury and Lahaska?+
Yes. 18938 is far bigger than the borough — it takes in most of Solebury Township, including Lahaska, Center Bridge, Aquetong and Brownsburg, and all of it is served.
How many homes around New Hope heat with oil?+
1,614 of 6,058 occupied homes, or 26.6%. Out here oil is often not one option among several — for many properties the gas main simply never came.
I have a long gravel drive. Will the truck come down it?+
Usually yes, but tell us when you order. Soft gravel after heavy rain, a tight stone-walled entrance or low branches are all things a driver would rather know before he commits the truck than halfway down.
Can you fill a buried tank in New Hope?+
If the fill and vent are accessible and in sound condition, yes. Buried tanks are more common here than anywhere else we serve, and they are also the ones most worth having inspected — an underground leak is an environmental problem, not just a heating one.
Why is delivery priced higher here than in Lower Bucks?+
Density. At 148 households per square mile a driver covers a fraction of the stops he would manage in Feasterville, and the Upper Bucks zone offset reflects that. It is shown in the price before you order.
Do you deliver along River Road in New Hope?+
Yes, the length of it within 18938. River Road is narrow with the canal on one side, so a note about where exactly to pull in is more useful here than almost anywhere.
Is same-day delivery available in New Hope?+
Sometimes, but far less reliably than in Lower Bucks — it is a long run and the routes are built the night before. The badge on this page shows whether it is genuinely available today.
What size tank do the old stone houses have?+
Anything from a single 275 to two tanks linked together, because heating was added to these houses long after they were built. Give us the gauge reading and we size the fill to what is actually there.
