Heating Oil Storage Tanks

One of the major benefits of heating oil is having a heating oil storage tank on the premises. Oil storage tanks are safe, convenient, and versatile; here's why:

Oil Tanks Are Safe

• Today's oil tanks are designed with corrosion-resistant materials for long life and safety.
• Oil actually protects the tank.
• Only a handful of cases a year of releases result in significant cleanup efforts.

Oil Tanks Are Convenient

• A tank on your property puts you in charge of your oil supply.
• You pay only for Oilheat received¹.
• Automatic delivery assures that you never run out of Oilheat - resulting in uninterrupted comfort all year long!

¹In 2011, natural gas distribution companies reported releasing 69 billion cubic feet of natural gas to the atmosphere. Many utilities companies charge customers for that loss under a "supply charge." According to a report by Sen. Edward J. Markey, consumers paid at least $20 billion from 2000 to 2011 for natural gas that was unaccounted for and never used.

Oil Tanks Are Versatile

• New tanks are compact in size, and can be hidden away in small spaces.
• Above ground oil tanks can be located in the basement, garage, next to the home or elsewhere on the property.
