The beauty of having a heating oil tank on your property here on Cape Cod is that it can last a homeowner for 30 years – sometimes even more! Depending on how long you live in your home, this could mean that you may never need to replace your tank at all.
While heating oil tanks are intentionally designed to be durable and long lasting, the key to their longevity is regular inspections that are conducted by a professional.
Simply put, a well-maintained and cared for heating oil tank will most likely last longer than a heating oil tank that isn’t maintained and cared for.
Additionally, regular inspections are the best way to catch any small issues before they turn into large and potentially expensive issues that could leave you without heat for a period of time.
Inspections on heating oil tanks are especially important since most of the deterioration they experience occurs inside the tank and can, therefore, go easily unnoticed.
That is why it is important for homeowners to be aware of the signs of possible corrosion. These signs include:
If you notice any of the above signs it may be time to replace and upgrade your heating oil tank, which Cape Cod Oil & Propane can happily help you with. We can install a new, top-of-the-line tank on your property, transfer any fuel that is still in your old tank to your new tank and then remove your old tank for you. All of our tanks and installations meet both the state and local safety requirements.
It is best practice to not wait until winter to replace your heating oil tank. Spring is a much better time to handle this. Since heating equipment is not in such high demand during this season you will find that it is cheaper. It will also be easier and less complicated to schedule a delivery since the team here at Cape Cod Oil & Propane will be more accessible.
