A Health Check for Your Heating Oil Storage Tank
Why do people go their doctors for health checkups? Because although you may look fine from the outside, internally there could be something going on.
Just the same, your heating oil storage tank may look normal from the outside, but internal corrosion could be affecting its “health.”
Fortunately, most storage tanks are designed with corrosion-resistant materials for long life and exceptional safety. In fact, research shows that less than 1% of heating oil tanks ever experience a release.
More good news: there are several things you can do to limit the chance of a serious, expensive release.
How to protect your storage tank’s “health”:
-
Enroll in our ProGuard Oil Tank Clean Up and Replacement Program! This inexpensive plan provides up to $50,000 in clean-up protection from an aboveground tank accidental release, and up to $2,000 for the proactive replacement of your aboveground tank.
-
Check your tank regularly. Look for blisters, dents, wet spots, rust, bulges, or drips. Also check the lines and fittings for drips.
-
Enroll in a Sound Energy heating system service plan and schedule your annual tune-up. Visual tank inspection is included in our annual maintenance.
-
Call us if you suspect a leak or smell oil around your tank.
-
Replace your old tank if it’s over 20 years old. Even if you don’t think there is a problem, internal corrosion could be a hidden danger. Sound Energy will replace your old heating oil storage tank with a new, reliable, long-lasting, technologically advanced tank.
