Heating oil tanks are built to last. However, they don’t last forever, and you will eventually have to replace the one in your home.
If your heating oil tank is more than 20 years old, it’s time to start planning for when you have to replace it. You don’t want to be caught off guard by a tank failure, and you don’t want to deal with the stress, cost, or hassle that comes with it.
Hometowne Energy offers the highest level of service and professionalism for your heating oil tank installation. You may feel confident that Hometowne Energy will install your heating oil tank in accordance with all requirements and codes, acquire any necessary permits, handle the disposal of your old heater oil tank, and inform you about any municipal or state fees associated with tank disposal.
Before you go shopping for a new heating oil tank, there are a few things to consider.
The tank’s capacity (in gallons) and dimensions (height, length, and width) need to be considered.
The tank’s capacity is usually inscribed on it. If your tank lacks this figure, use the dimensions to calculate its capacity.
A typical home heating oil tank holds 275 gallons and is either vertical (275V) or horizontal (275H). Other aboveground tank sizes include 288, 340, 420, 500, 550, 675, and 1,000 gallons.
The most essential step is to verify the size of the place where your new heating oil tank will be installed to ensure that it will fit in that space.
When it comes to heating oil, be sure to talk about your needs now and in the future with Hometowne Energy’s heating oil professionals. If you want to add onto your house, grow your family, or move elderly parents in, you’ll be using more heating oil, so a bigger tank might be necessary.
