What ROMANELLI & SON INC does

Romanelli Energy (legal entity Romanelli & Son Inc) is a privately held, family-owned heating and energy services company headquartered in Lindenhurst, New York, founded in 1925 and operating continuously for over 80 years. The company delivers heating oil, ultra-low sulfur diesel, and HVAC installation and maintenance services to residential and commercial customers across Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. Core operations are anchored by a 285,000-gallon fuel storage facility — the first in Suffolk County to conform to local environmental guidelines — which enables bulk commodity purchasing and continuous supply assurance.

The product portfolio spans heating oil and diesel delivery; installation and service of oil burners (Riello, Beckett), boilers (Peerless, Thermo-Dynamics, Buderus, Biasi), furnaces (Armstrong Air), water heaters (SuperStor, Techtanium), and storage tanks (Granby, Roth); central air conditioning installation and service (Trane, Rheem); and HVAC accessories including air scrubbers, humidifiers, smart thermostats (Honeywell), and safety sensors. The company supplements transactional fuel delivery with annual residential service contracts (Value Plan and Premier Plan) offering 24/7 access, tune-ups, 15% repair discounts, and optional enhancements, as well as a 12-month Budget Plan for bill smoothing and a price protection program.

Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based fuel delivery (heating oil and diesel), recurring subscription service plans, and professional-services revenue from HVAC equipment installation and maintenance. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer across the Long Island service area, supported by a website with online scheduling and payments, a $100-customer-referral program, field service technicians, and a private direct delivery fleet. The company employs 13 people and is fully controlled by the founding family with no institutional investors or parent company.
