Greetings to our valued Scotia Fuels customers and residents of HRM! With spring on its way, it’s an opportune moment to discuss an essential aspect of home maintenance that ensures your comfort and safety – updating your home heating oil tank.
Routine Inspections: A Preventive Measure
Proper installation and regular inspections will help the life of your heating oil tank. Just like any significant home appliance, oil tanks require attention to ensure they are functioning correctly and efficiently. We recommend annual inspections by a certified technician to identify and mitigate potential issues before they escalate, ensuring your tank remains in optimal condition.
Exploring Your Options for a New Tank
When the time comes for a replacement, there are a variety of options. Traditional steel tanks available in both single wall and double bottom. Fiberglass tanks are becoming more popular due to their lower risk of corrosion, longer warranties, and potential insurance savings. Fiberglass oil tanks are available as a single walled tank or a full double wall tank. Also in the market are the upright 2-in-1 double-walled Roth and Granby oil tanks. The primary tank is constructed of blow-molded high-density polyethylene with galvanized steel secondary containment.
Consulting with Your Insurance Provider
It’s essential to engage with your insurance provider when considering a new oil tank. Insurance policies may have specific requirements regarding the type of tank, its installation, and maintenance records. Ensuring your new tank meets these requirements can affect your coverage and potentially offer benefits such as premium discounts.
Professional Installation: A Must
The installation of your new oil tank should always be entrusted to professionals. Certified technicians ensure that the installation complies with local and manufacturer regulations, positioning your tank for long-term efficiency, safety and ensuring the warranty is valid.
