Smithtown is one of Suffolk County's most established North Shore communities, with over 38,000 residents across the 11787 and 11788 zip codes. Anchored by its historic downtown along Main Street and stretching to the wooded neighborhoods near the Nissequogue River, Smithtown has a distinctly different housing character from Nassau County communities -- more spacious lots, larger homes, and a mix of building eras spanning from the 1940s through the 1980s. Roughly 56% of homes date from the post-war 1940s-60s period, with a significant portion of later construction from the 1970s-90s that brought larger colonials and expanded ranches.

TryCODFuel.com connects Smithtown homeowners with licensed heating oil suppliers covering all neighborhoods in 11787 and 11788 -- from the residential streets near Jericho Turnpike and Route 25 to the more wooded sections bordering Hauppauge, Kings Park, St. James, and Commack. Smithtown's larger homes and longer heating season -- North Shore winters start earlier and run colder than South Shore communities -- make comparison shopping particularly valuable here.

Smithtown Housing Profile

North Shore homes tend to be larger and use more oil -- making price comparison even more impactful

Smithtown's housing stock reflects its North Shore location and its development across multiple decades. The earliest sections near downtown and along the river feature post-war capes and ranches from the 1940s-50s, while the majority of the community was built out during the 1960s-1980s -- producing the colonials, expanded ranches, and split-levels that define the town's residential character. This later construction era means larger homes on larger lots than you'd find in Nassau County communities of the same era.

Typical Smithtown homes run 1,400-2,200 sq ft of heated space, notably larger than the Levittown or Hicksville averages. Standard tank size remains 275 gallons, though some larger homes have 330 or 500-gallon tanks. Annual oil consumption for a typical Smithtown home runs 1,200-1,800 gallons -- at the upper end of Long Island averages -- driven by larger square footage and North Shore's colder inland temperatures.

The Nissequogue River valley and wooded interior sections of Smithtown also experience more radiative cooling on clear winter nights than coastal communities, pushing heating demand slightly higher. The heating season typically runs from late October through April.

📈

Long Island Average Retail Price

Nassau & Suffolk County residential heating oil

Long Island consistently runs $0.15-$0.30 per gallon above the New York State average due to higher distribution costs and stronger seasonal demand. For Smithtown homeowners with larger homes using 1,400-1,800 gallons per year, the math on comparison shopping is compelling -- a $0.20/gallon difference adds up to $280-$360 per season in your pocket.

The best ordering windows in Smithtown are late August through early October before North Shore demand picks up, or during mild mid-winter stretches. Our comparison tool shows live pricing from licensed dealers serving 11787 and 11788 right now.

Heating Oil Questions from Smithtown Homeowners

Answers specific to Smithtown's larger North Shore homes and longer heating season

A typical Smithtown colonial (1,600-2,000 sq ft) uses approximately 1,300-1,700 gallons per year. Larger homes and those in wooded inland sections with more radiative cooling can run 1,600-2,000 gallons. Older 1950s ranches at the lower end of the size range use 900-1,200 gallons. Check your delivery receipts from the last 3 years for your most accurate personal estimate.
Generally yes, modestly. The North Shore's inland sections experience more radiative cooling on clear winter nights and are less moderated by the open water effect that keeps South Shore communities slightly warmer in winter. Smithtown typically runs 2-4 degrees colder than South Shore Nassau on cold clear nights, which translates to about 5-8% more heating degree days and proportionally higher oil consumption compared to a same-sized South Shore home.
No -- 330-gallon tanks are common in Smithtown's larger homes and all dealers in our network handle them. A 330-gallon tank holds about 300 usable gallons (10% headspace). Filling a 330-gallon tank from quarter-full means ordering about 225 gallons -- still within standard delivery parameters. Some dealers offer a slightly better per-gallon price for larger orders, so your bigger tank can actually work in your favor when comparing prices.
Late August through September is historically the best window -- prices are lowest before demand picks up. Given Smithtown's longer North Shore heating season (often firing up in late October and running through April), ordering a full tank in early fall makes strong economic sense. Our comparison tool shows today's live pricing from dealers serving 11787 and 11788.
Most dealers serving Smithtown require a minimum of 100-150 gallons for standard delivery. With Smithtown's larger tanks, ordering a full fill (200-300 gallons) typically gets a better per-gallon price and fewer deliveries per season. When comparing prices on our platform you'll see each dealer's specific minimum for your zip code.
