New York Heating Oil Prices

View the latest heating oil prices in New York

Heating oil prices in New York—and elsewhere—will always ebb and flow because lots of factors come into play. Everything from the weather to global politics can influence the energy markets and the cost of heating oil. Although they are related, it’s important to remember that heating oil will not move the same way as gasoline prices.

Supply and demand will affect price, but almost as often, we see big hedge funds trade commodities contracts based on what might happen, which can dramatically push prices up and down regardless of supply or demand.

Knowing what drives the price of heating oil, and that it’s more complicated than competition between dealers, or simply supply and demand, will help you make smart choices and understand the value Westmore Fuel delivers. There’s no way to control oil prices, but we offer ways to help give you a bit more certainty.

Why we’re the best choice for heating oil

Our storage terminal means we can buy in quantities that let us guarantee supply. And we provide a range of pricing plans that help protect you from big price spikes. It’s part of the Westmore Fuel advantage.

After the oil embargo in 1974, we made a commitment to always have a reliable supply of fuel for our customers. In 1982, we made our first investment toward that goal, buying a bulk fuel terminal. Soon after, we purchased a 1.2-million-gallon marine storage terminal in Port Chester.

These facilities, combined with strong strategic relationships with our suppliers, enable us to guarantee Westmore Fuel customers an uninterrupted supply of fuel and some protection against spikes in the price of heating oil.

Oil pricing plans: keeping the cost of heating oil manageable

We offer programs designed to help you save money and keep your heating bills manageable no matter what happens with New York heating oil prices.

• Capped Oil Price contract—Westmore’s Capped Oil Price contract gives you the security of knowing that your oil price will never go higher than your cap price. However, should Westmore’s daily market price fall below your cap, you’ll enjoy the benefit of the lower price. There is an up-front per gallon fee required to enter into a Capped Oil Price contract.
• Fixed Oil Price contract—he Fixed Oil Price contract is for anyone who wants the security of locking in a set price. With a Fixed Price contract, you will never pay more than your set rate for your fuel. If prices should fall, you will still pay your fixed price—even if it’s higher than Westmore’s daily market price. There is an up-front flat fee required to enter into a Fixed Oil Price contract.
• Daily Market Rate plan—If you want to pay the going rate for oil, choose our Daily Market Rate plan. The rate you pay for fuel will fluctuate with energy prices. There is no fee associated with this plan.
