Jack Rich

What Jack Rich does

Jack Rich, Inc. is a family-owned, diversified regional energy services company headquartered in Frackville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, founded in 1959 when Jack Rich purchased Pottsville Fuel Company and rebranded in the 1980s. The company operates across two primary customer segments: residential homeowners (heating oil delivery with automatic delivery programs, HVAC repair/installation, plumbing, and air quality services) and commercial/industrial businesses (bulk fuel delivery from 100 to 8,500+ gallons, on-site fleet fueling, fuel hedging and pre-buy programs, and industrial lubricants). Its fuel tank product line, launched in 2024, includes TransCube portable tanks (251-1,204 gallons), FuelCube stationary tanks (243-1,016 gallons), and TransCube Mobile Refuelers, all UL 142, NFPA, and DOT certified.

Revenue is generated primarily through unit-pricing on heating oil (online tiers ranging from $4.25 to $4.34 per gallon), per-service HVAC pricing (9-point tune-ups from $145), subscription/recurring fuel tank rentals and leases, and professional services fees for plumbing and HVAC work. The go-to-motion combines direct-to-consumer online ordering (oilheatingonline.com), inside phone sales (570-622-3000), and direct field service for commercial accounts, supported by a 24/7/365 emergency response capability.

The company's underlying technology stack is operational rather than digital: Pennsylvania-compliant 15 PPM Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil (ULSHO), Testo combustion analyzers used by master technicians, and certified portable fuel storage hardware. Jack Rich maintains compliance with PA HIC License #PA039286, participates in the federal LIHEAP energy assistance program, and operates a wholly-owned lubricants subsidiary (Jack Rich Lubricants) that extends distribution beyond the Schuylkill County core into Eastern Pennsylvania. Geographic concentration is the defining structural feature of the business: nearly all revenue is generated within Schuylkill County and adjacent regions of Eastern Pennsylvania.
