Oil Tank FAQs:
When do I need to replace my heating oil tank?
Heating oil tanks have a pretty long lifespan. They generally last at least 15 years and often even longer. If your heating oil tank is approaching the 15-year mark, you should have a professional come and inspect it, in case the inside has become corroded. We have seen tanks older than 30 years still working well, with the appropriate maintenance!
Are heating oil tanks a safety hazard?
Heating oil tanks are one of the safest ways to keep your house warm! They don’t emit any fatal fumes (like CO2) and they aren’t at risk of exploding, even at the highest temperatures. The only real concern when it comes to heating oil tanks is leaks, which can be expensive to have cleaned up.
Can my heating oil tank get overfilled?
While technically, it can, there is a sensor which alerts the oil delivery worker if the tank is at risk of becoming overfilled.
How do I know what size tank to have installed?
Our experts can help you decide, but it will be based on the size of your home. A 275-gallon tank is typically sufficient for most two-bedroom homes, however if your home has three or more bedrooms, or has multiple living areas, you’ll want to consider a larger capacity tank.
