Wissinoming and Tacony sit between Frankford Avenue and the Delaware, and they were built for the Disston saw works — the 6600 block of Tulip Street is still called Castle Row, and it housed Disston’s workers into the 1940s. This is the most oil-heated ZIP in Philadelphia by a wide margin.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Wissinoming run off Frankford Avenue, Torresdale Avenue, Harbison Avenue, State Road, Princeton Avenue, Levick Street, Cottman Avenue and Milnor Street.
The tightest delivery ground we cover. Streets are narrow, parked both sides, and the truck needs a legal place to stand within hose reach — which is often not outside your own door. Telling us which side the fill is on, and whether there is an alley, is worth more here than anywhere else on the site.

Tanks in Wissinoming homes
Brick rowhouses, most of them 1880s to 1920s, built tight for factory workers — bay windows, front steps, shared walls and a cellar under each. The tank is nearly always a 275 in that cellar, and the fill is on the front wall or down a narrow side alley. Nothing here has a driveway.

Buying heating oil in Wissinoming
This is the oil heart of Philadelphia for us: 1,014 of 13,323 households, 7.6% — more than double the next Philadelphia ZIP and more oil-heated homes than any other in the city we serve. It is also the lowest-income ZIP in Philadelphia, with a median household income of about $51,800, which is exactly why the price mattering is not an abstraction here. A dense route means real competition is possible; publishing the number is how it starts. 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 Wissinoming?
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 Wissinoming — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Wissinoming and Tacony?+
Yes, to 19135, which covers both. It is the most oil-heated ZIP code in Philadelphia — 1,014 households — so there is a genuine route here rather than the occasional stop.
Why does 19135 have so much more oil heat than the rest of the northeast?+
Age and use. These blocks were built for Disston’s saw works between the 1880s and the 1920s, long before the newer northeast, and 7.6% of them still burn oil against about 3% across the other Philadelphia ZIPs we serve.
My fill pipe is on the front wall right on the pavement. Is that a problem?+
No — it is the normal arrangement on these rows and the drivers expect it. The thing that actually slows a delivery is nowhere legal for the truck to stop, so mention it if your block is permit-parked or narrow.
The tank is in a cellar reached from an alley. Can that be filled?+
Yes, provided the fill is reachable. Say so in the order notes — an alley fill takes a different hose run and a driver who knows in advance brings the right length.
How often will a 275 in a rowhouse need filling?+
Two or three times through a winter is typical. These houses heat a small volume but they are old and not tightly insulated, so orders tend to be 180 to 220 gallons at a time.
