When your heating oil runs out at the worst possible moment, Hempstead Emergency Oil is the neighbor you can count on. For over 15 years, we’ve specialized in emergency oil delivery Hempstead residents trust, providing rapid-response heating oil delivery to homes and businesses throughout Nassau County.

The Story That Started It All

It started during a brutal February storm in 2009. Our founder was helping a neighbor whose heating system had shut down in the middle of the night, leaving her family shivering in their Hempstead cape cod home. After calling three different oil companies, each one either couldn’t deliver until the following week or quoted outrageous emergency rates that seemed to take advantage of the crisis.

That night, as we helped prime the burner and get the heat running again, we realized Hempstead families deserved better. They needed a local heating oil company that would treat emergencies like true emergencies – not profit opportunities. The idea for Hempstead Emergency Oil was born from that simple belief: neighbors should help neighbors, especially when the heat goes out.

We started with one truck and a promise to never leave a Hempstead family in the cold. Today, with a fleet of delivery vehicles and a team of 20 dedicated professionals, that same commitment drives everything we do.

Deeply Connected to Hempstead

Unlike the big corporate chains, Hempstead Emergency Oil is genuinely local to the core. Our headquarters at 250 Fulton Ave puts us right in the heart of the community we serve. We know the winding streets of Garden City, understand the heating challenges of older homes in Uniondale, and can navigate to Merrick or Valley Stream even during the worst winter storms.

Our team lives here too. We understand the unique heating needs of Hempstead’s mix of post-war ranch homes, classic cape cods, and newer construction. When a nor’easter hits Long Island, we’re dealing with the same power outages and icy roads as our customers – which is exactly why we’re so committed to maintaining reliable emergency oil delivery service no matter what Mother Nature throws our way.

The Values That Guide Everything We Do

Every decision at Hempstead Emergency Oil comes back to the principles that shaped our founding. These aren’t just words on a wall – they’re the standards our team lives by every single day:

  • Safety First: Every delivery prioritizes the safety of your family and our drivers, with professional prime and start service to ensure your system restarts properly.
  • Transparent Pricing: The price we quote over the phone is exactly what you pay – no hidden fees, no surprise charges, no taking advantage of emergency situations.
  • Reliable Response: Our 4-hour response window guarantee means when you call with a no-heat emergency, help is already on the way.
  • Community Focus: We treat every customer like the neighbor they are, because in Hempstead, that’s exactly what you are.
  • Professional Service: Fully licensed and insured with hazmat certification, we handle every delivery with the expertise your family’s safety deserves.
