When you keep your home warm and safe with heating oil, you enjoy some considerable advantages. A single gallon of heating oil can generate a whopping 138,500 Btu’s of heat energy. Plus, heating oil does not pose an explosion risk in its liquid form.
Even so, it’s vital that you have a well-maintained oil tank in your home. If your tank fails and there is an oil spill on your property, the cost of cleanup and environmental remediation can be steep. At WFC, we offer oil tank protection plans to limit your risk. We also inspect and replace older tanks with state-of-the-art models.
Heating oil tanks generally last around 20 years, but with diligent upkeep, they can last even longer. The biggest issue with these tanks tends to be internal corrosion, which deteriorates structural integrity. Some of the warning signs that your tank might be failing include:
If your tank is more than two years old, we recommend enrolling in our Oil Tank Protection Program. For a small fee, you’ll be protected against the thousands of dollars it can cost to replace a tank. This insurance covers the cost of a new heating oil tank, plus the labor involved in replacing and properly disposing of the old one.
The annual cost to enroll is minuscule compared with the expense of a new tank, and we’ll automatically bill you each year. You cannot afford to be without the peace of mind this coverage brings.
(Please note: A tank inspection and automatic delivery enrollment is required for enrollment in the Oil Tank Protection Program.)
When the time comes to replace your heating oil tank, you’ll be astonished by the Roth products we install. These tanks are more compact than the ones they replace, so you’ll get more space back in your house.
They’re also virtually leak-proof, with double-walled construction and seamless interior tanks. With no fittings below the oil line, they reduce the accumulation of sludge and sediment. They’re also corrosion-resistant.
