Macungie Heating Oil

Oil Heat in the Borough of the Bears

Macungie, whose Lenape name means the feeding place of the bears and whose borough seal still shows one drinking at the water, is the second-oldest borough in Lehigh County. Peter Miller founded it as Millerstown in 1776, and the oldest part of town, the blocks around Main Street where Route 100 runs through, still holds homes from well before 1940. But Macungie's housing has an unusual shape. Its single biggest building wave came in the 1980s, when more than a third of all the borough's current homes went up at once, part of the broader growth that turned this stretch of the Lehigh Valley into Allentown's southwestern suburbs.

That timing is why electricity dominates the fuel mix: most of Macungie's housing is new enough to have been built for electric heat. Oil lives in the older minority, the pre-war homes near the center of town, where it has been the heating fuel for generations. For those owners, oil isn't a choice to reconsider every winter; it's simply how the house works. What they need from a supplier is dependability and an honest rate, and Smart Touch Energy's online model is built to provide exactly that.

Where We Deliver Heating Oil Around Macungie

Smart Touch Energy serves Macungie and the neighboring Lehigh Valley communities of Emmaus, Alburtis, and Trexlertown. The borough is tiny, barely a square mile bounded on almost every side by Lower Macungie Township, so most oil customers in the area are spread through that surrounding township and the small towns nearby rather than the dense borough core. Our delivery partners know how Macungie sits within greater Lower Macungie and the road network around Route 100 and Swabia Creek, so reaching a home whether it's a Main Street block or a house out in the township is straightforward. Macungie is one of the communities we serve across Pennsylvania.

Our Macungie Heating Oil Delivery Options

Oil may be the minority fuel here, but the households that use it still want options for how they buy. Smart Touch Energy offers three, all run online so the price is in front of you before you order:

• Automatic Delivery: The set-and-forget choice. Choose automatic delivery and we keep tabs on your usage, sending a refill before the tank dips low so a Lehigh Valley cold snap never catches you short. There's a $0.03-per-gallon discount built in, and no contract to sign.
• One-Time Delivery: Like to order on your own read of the market? One-time delivery is a single fill whenever you decide. Check the current Macungie price, order, and we deliver promptly, with no minimum and no expectation that you'll order again.
• Emergency Delivery: Caught low when the temperature drops, emergency delivery brings oil to your Macungie home quickly. If the tank went all the way empty, a prime and restart is available for an added charge, the proper way to bring a dry burner back rather than just refilling and hoping.

Caring for Macungie's Older Heating Systems

The oil-heated homes here skew old, with close to a fifth of all Macungie housing dating to before 1940, so the burners doing the work are often well along in years. An older unit that hasn't had a recent cleaning loses efficiency and is the most likely thing to quit on a hard night. Smart Touch Energy provides oil burner cleaning and prime-and-restart service through our full range of services, on whatever schedule suits you. For an older home near the center of town, a late-summer cleaning is the simplest way to avoid a cold-weather surprise.

Why Macungie Homeowners Choose Smart Touch Energy

When a town runs mostly on electric and gas, the oil customers are few enough that a big supplier can let them slide to the back of the line. Smart Touch Energy is set up to do the opposite, and keeps the price fair two ways:

• Online from end to end: See the rate, place the order, track the truck, and pay, all from your phone, with no account fee and no call needed for a normal fill. Because there's no storefront and no phone room to support, that overhead never gets baked into your per-gallon price.
• Summer-bought supply for steadier winters: Oil prices across eastern Pennsylvania tend to rise as the heating season arrives. Smart Touch Energy works with supply partners who buy over the summer to lock in lower rates and pass the savings on, smoothing out the seasonal climb. Curious how that cycle works? Here's why oil prices rise and fall.
