Burner/Tank Service

Unfortunately, oil tanks have a limited life span. Single bottom steel tanks will eventually rust until they begin to leak. These steel tanks have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. New steel tanks are now made with a double bottom and include a leak indicator that will show if one of the bottom layers is compromised. Steel double bottom tanks have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. A great alternative to steel tanks is the Fibreglass tank, which will not rust and are ideal for outside installations, (especially near the ocean). Fibreglass tanks have a life expectancy of 20 to 30 years.

Please check with your insurance company to confirm their specific coverage period for your tank.

Your local burner technician will be glad to answer any questions regarding the installation of a new oil tank. A number of burner technicians is provided below for your quick reference. Please note, these are just a few technicians, there will likely be other technicians in your area to choose from.

You should first contact your insurance company to determine which type of tank is best for you.
