Van Doren Oil was established in 1939 by Ben Van Doren. The company has grown to include second and third generation family members along with about 30 other employees. These service people deliver warm, safe oil heat to their customers, day after day, year after year.

The company's heating oil storage capacity of one million gallons represents one of the largest inland storage facilities in the state of New Jersey. The service area includes Hunterdon, Somerset, and parts of Warren and Morris counties.

The advantage of the customer's relationship with Van Doren Oil is the full service aspect of every account. You may find another oil dealer with a lower spot price on a given day, but if your furnace breaks on a cold February night, will those spot-price merchants have a repair technician at your home that night? Do they even have a service department? Van Doren Oil has 14 technicians and 24-hour emergency service.

Competitive pricing

The Van Doren oil price consistently beats some of the other regional full-service competition by up to 50 cents per gallon. So, if you are a full-service oil customer who feels they are paying too much, it would be to your benefit to at least call Van Doren Oil to obtain a competitive quote, with no obligation.

Pricing options

Because everybody has different needs, Van Doren Oil Company is now offering 4 different price programs:

Market price oil: the everyday low price for full-service customers.
Contract oil: the pre-buy option that allows you to lock in your price for the winter, without any fees.
Ceiling price oil: a capped oil price giving the customer peace of mind, and a lower price when the market is down.
No service discount oil: the lowest possible oil price available.

Call Van Doren Oil and ask for either Trent Van Doren or Chris Van Doren to discuss any of these pricing options.

Consumer reviews

"I'm moving to Brick, NJ and very disappointed that I can't take Van Doren Oil Company with us. Of all of the companies I've dealt with the past 20 years, yours was the best. Many oil companies have tried to win my business with special offers but I told them I would never, ever, EVER switch! Contact me if you ever open a southern location." -- Joseph Lazzara

"You might find a lower spot price for oil here and there, but those companies will literally leave you in the cold if your furnace breaks in the middle of January. I'd rather have the customer support that Van Doren Oil provides." -- Gregory K.
