Our drivers make regular runs to the island, so we’re familiar with the logistics and timing. If you place a fuel oil order by early afternoon, there’s a good chance we can get it on the next day’s delivery route, weather and ferry schedule permitting.
During peak winter months or severe weather, deliveries might take an extra day, but we’ll always communicate any delays upfront. The key is not waiting until your tank is nearly empty—order when you’re at about a quarter tank to give yourself plenty of buffer time.
Our fuel oil prices are updated daily and posted clearly on our website at suffolkoil.com. You’ll see the exact per-gallon price before you place your order—no guessing, no calling around for quotes from different heating oil companies.
We don’t play pricing games with different rates for different customers. Everyone pays the same fair price, whether you’re ordering 50 gallons or 500 gallons. The price you see online includes everything—no hidden delivery fees, no service charges, no surprise add-ons.

Yes, we deliver in all weather conditions as long as it’s safe and the ferries are running. Our drivers are experienced with winter conditions and know how to navigate island roads safely.
If ferry service gets suspended due to severe weather, obviously we can’t make fuel oil deliveries until service resumes. But as soon as conditions improve and ferries start running again, we’re back to normal delivery schedules.
This is exactly why we recommend keeping your tank at least quarter-full at all times. Shelter Island, NY’s location means weather can sometimes disrupt normal logistics, so having a buffer protects you from running out during storms when heating oil deliveries might be delayed a day or two.

We don’t require any contracts, membership fees, or minimum purchase commitments. You simply pay for the fuel oil you order, when you order it. No monthly service charges, no annual fees, no hidden costs—just straightforward pricing for quality heating oil.
Check your tank gauge regularly—we recommend looking at it weekly during winter months. Order more fuel oil when your gauge shows about a quarter tank remaining, which gives you plenty of time for delivery.
A typical 275-gallon tank will last 6-8 weeks during winter for an average-sized home, but this varies based on your home’s size, insulation, and how cold the weather gets. Keeping track of your heating oil usage patterns helps you predict when you’ll need your next delivery.
Many Shelter Island, NY customers set phone reminders to check their gauge every Sunday, or they note their usage after each delivery to establish a pattern. The key is developing a routine so you never get caught with an empty tank during a cold snap when you need heating oil most.
