Pennington is a borough of about a square mile with a township wrapped around it, and 08534 covers both — Main Street and the Delaware Avenue crossing at the center, then out along the Pennington-Titusville and Pennington-Harbourton roads into open country. One home in five here still heats with oil.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Pennington run off North Main Street, South Main Street, East Delaware Avenue, West Delaware Avenue, Ingleside Avenue, Pennington Road, Pennington-Titusville Road and Federal City Road.
Main Street and Delaware Avenue are the through routes and can be busy, so a driver would rather work the side streets. Outside the borough the roads are unlit and the houses set well back — the nearest crossroad is worth giving along with the number.

Tanks in Pennington homes
Nineteenth-century frame and brick houses close-set on the borough streets, with deep back lots, and then larger twentieth-century houses on an acre or more once you are outside the borough line. The borough houses have cellars and 275s; the township properties often have larger tanks, and a number of them are still underground.

Buying heating oil in Pennington
Pennington is a substantial oil market for its size: 1,010 of 4,855 households, 20.8%, one of the four highest shares among the New Jersey ZIPs we serve and the largest of them by number of homes. It sits in the same valley for the same reason. Orders are typically large — this is not a top-up market — and the mix of small borough cellars and big township tanks means it is worth telling us the tank size rather than leaving it to be guessed at the curb. 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 Pennington?
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 Pennington — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Pennington, NJ?+
Yes, to 08534, which covers Pennington Borough and the surrounding township. Hopewell is 08525 and also covered; both sit in Hopewell Valley but each is priced on its own ZIP.
How much of Pennington still heats with oil?+
1,010 of 4,855 occupied homes, about 20.8% — one in five. Only Hopewell and the two Springfield Township ZIPs run a higher share, and none of them has as many oil-heated homes as Pennington does.
Is a Pennington delivery priced the same as Hopewell?+
Not necessarily. Each ZIP is priced against what is actually quoted there rather than against a valley average, so 08534 and 08525 can differ from each other on any given day.
What size tank should I expect in a Pennington house?+
A 275 in a cellar in most of the borough houses; larger tanks, 500 or 550, on many of the township properties, where some are still buried. Telling us which you have means the driver brings enough oil the first time.
Can I pay cash when the truck comes?+
Yes. Cash means somebody over eighteen has to be at the house when the driver arrives; a card order does not, which is the only real difference between them.
