Taylor Oil

What Taylor Oil does

Taylor Oil & Propane is a fourth-generation, family-owned fuel delivery and home services company headquartered at 28 Tinker Town Road in Dover Plains, New York, operating continuously since 1927. The company delivers home heating oil, propane (via its Taylor Propane sub-brand launched in 2012), ultra-low sulfur diesel, 89-octane gasoline, kerosene, and winter-blend fuels across a five-county service area spanning Dutchess, Putnam, Columbia, and Orange counties in New York and Litchfield County in Connecticut, supported by five office locations (Dover Plains, Millbrook, Millerton, Pawling, Pine Plains) and a 24-hour Preferred Customer Fleet Card pump system at four sites.

The company's product portfolio also includes residential and light-commercial HVAC, plumbing, and water treatment services, with manufactured equipment partnerships with Heil (central A/C) and Mitsubishi (ductless systems). Supporting technology is modest and primarily customer-facing: an online self-service portal at myfuelaccount.com for both Taylor Oil Heat and Taylor Propane accounts, structured payment programs (Winter Warmth 10-month budget plan, Winter Price Assurance, Summer Pre-Buy), Basic and V.I.P. annual service contracts with automatic renewal, and a new generators service line marked "Coming soon." A separate Taylor Storage sub-brand operates self-storage units (5x5 to 10x30) and outdoor vehicle/boat/RV storage at the Dover Plains facility.

Revenue is generated across multiple usage-based fuel streams (heating oil, propane, diesel, gasoline, kerosene), recurring subscription streams (Basic and V.I.P. service contracts, Taylor Storage rentals), and professional services (HVAC and plumbing installation, repair, and maintenance). The company employs approximately 48 named personnel across ownership, office management, service technicians, delivery drivers, dispatchers, and mechanics, and operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with on-page SEO, a Taylor Tips blog, two Facebook pages, and a Constant Contact mailing list as primary marketing channels. No external institutional ownership, funding rounds, or public listing are referenced in the source data.
