Hart Home Comfort

What Hart Home Comfort does

Hart Home Comfort is a family-owned home comfort company founded in 1979 by Raymond A. Hart in Babylon, New York, currently headquartered in Oakdale, NY. The company serves residential and commercial customers across Nassau County, Suffolk County (west of Riverhead), and Queens, NY, employing 51–100 staff through operating subsidiaries including Hart Trucking Corp, Terminus Properties Inc., and the New Hyde Park Oil Terminal. Its integrated business model combines heating oil and diesel fuel delivery with HVAC service, repair, and equipment installation under a single direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion, supported by phone sales, online forms, and field service delivery.

The company's core technology centers on EcoBlend Bioheat® heating oil—a proprietary blend of biodiesel and ultra-low-sulfur heating oil at a B20 standard, with delivery up to B50 in NYC and Nassau County—produced at its New Hyde Park Oil Terminal using a fuel injection blending system and rail spur access for biodiesel supply. A computerized automatic delivery system monitors weather and individual customer fuel usage to schedule predictive fuel deliveries. Hart Home Comfort sells and services equipment from major brands including Peerless boilers, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu ductless mini-splits, Rheem, Trane, and Comfortmaker air conditioners, Bock, John Wood, and Triangle Tube water heaters, and Roth and Granby oil tanks.

Revenue mechanics span transactional fuel delivery, professional HVAC services, equipment sales, subscription-based service plans, Comfort Pay monthly budget billing, Hart Rate price protection (capped, fixed, and market-price options), a $125-per-referral credit program, and consumer financing through Watercress Financial. Customer segments are residential homeowners (primary), commercial businesses (bulk diesel and commercial HVAC), and institutional customers (churches, schools, community organizations). The company is entirely family-owned and operated, with multiple Hart family members in executive positions and no external private equity or institutional investment indicated.

• Petro Home Services: Major Northeast home heating oil and HVAC service provider offering automatic delivery, equipment installation, and service plans across multiple states. Directly comparable to Hart in business model, customer base, and product mix, but with substantially larger geographic footprint and PE backing.

• Soundview Fuel: Long Island heating oil and HVAC service provider serving residential customers in similar Long Island geographies. Closely comparable in service mix (heating oil delivery, HVAC repair/installation) and customer profile.

Emerging players

• Smart Touch Energy: Digital-first retail energy supplier offering heating oil, propane, and electricity across the Northeast. Comparable in heating oil customer base but with a tech-enabled acquisition model rather than owned delivery fleet and terminal infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• HomeServe USA: National home services platform offering HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service plans with subscription pricing. Comparable subscription service-plan model and customer base, but operates at much larger scale and as a national network rather than regional direct delivery.

Others

Regional players

• Northville Industries: Long Island-based heating oil and fuel products distributor with terminal operations. Comparable fuel distribution infrastructure and Bioheat® presence, but operates more on wholesale/distribution scale rather than direct-to-consumer HVAC service.
