Oil Tank Replacement

Heating oil tanks last a long time but not forever. If you start to notice any of the following signs of age and wear, it may be time to contact Surner Heating for a safety inspection and potential oil tank replacement:

• Dark, “wet” spots on the bottom or sides of your tank
• Significant rusting on the tank or its accessories
• Faulty or broken tank legs
• Tank gauge that reads unreliably or inaccurately

Simply call Surner Heating for a quote on your new tank installation, and we’ll get an appointment on the calendar to replace your home heating oil tank to reduce your risk of an oil leak and costly environmental cleanup.

Check Your Oil Feed Line

Does the thin tube connecting your oil tank to your heating system have a coating on it? If the bare copper feedline is buried within or touching your concrete basement floor, your home could be at risk of line degradation and oil leakage. Fortunately, the fix is simple and affordable. Contact us for a feedline replacement and get your system up to code!

Tips to Extend Your Tank’s Lifespan

• Keep it full of oil during the off-season (prevents internal corrosion)
• Remove items from around the tank, so it has space to ventilate
• Visually check your oil tank periodically for dark splotches and rusting
• Have an annual heating system tune-up performed to inspect your tank
