New York oil tank contractors

Eight NY firms from public records — and since New York has no statewide residential tank license, the verification path runs through NYSDEC guidance and your county health department.

New York regulates petroleum bulk storage above 1,100 gallons, which puts most residential heating oil tanks outside state licensing. The check that matters depends on where you live: in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester — the delegated counties — the county Department of Health may regulate smaller tanks and the contractors who touch them. Everywhere else, you are verifying insurance, references, and spill-reporting competence yourself.

Verify before you hire

Start with NYSDEC's official Underground Heating Oil Tanks: A Homeowner's Guide, then confirm county-level requirements with your health department if you're in Nassau, Suffolk, or Westchester.

Entries below are compiled from public records and company websites as of August 2026. Remove The Tank has not vetted, endorsed, or partnered with these firms. Confirm current licensing with the state before hiring.

The New York list is one step away

We keep a working list of New York tank contractors compiled from public license records — names, towns, and what each one actually does. Tell us where to reach you and it opens right here, on this page.

Why we ask: a list of ten firms means ten phone calls where you retell your story and get ten quotes with different scopes. Give us permission and a person here reads it and replies within one business day. You still get the full list either way.

Don't want to share anything? The official New York registry linked above is public and searchable on its own — we'd rather tell you that than pretend this list is the only way.

Firms appear in no ranked order. This is what we could verify from public sources in August 2026, not a census of the NY market.

Or let us do the legwork

New York quotes run $1,700–$4,500 for underground removal, with Long Island and Westchester at the top of the band (2025–2026 market ranges; spot-check against current local quotes before relying on them). The contractor contact form takes your details once and matches you with licensed NY contractors — independent of this directory.
