Q. What sizes of heating oil tanks are there?
A. Heating oil tanks are something that is not one-size-fits-all. We’ll make sure that your tank meets your home’s heating oil needs. Here are the most common sizes.
275 gallons: Designed for smaller homes with one or two bedrooms, these come in both horizontal and vertical configurations.
330 gallons: These are generally used in homes with three or more bedrooms.
120 and 250 gallons: We provide these sizes for homes where space is limited, and a larger tank would not fit.
Q. Do I need a permit from Suffolk County to install a new heating oil tank?
A. If you’re a homeowner installing an aboveground tank inside your home that is smaller than 1,100 gallons, no permit is required.
Q. How do I know when to replace my aboveground heating oil tank?
The last thing you want is for your aboveground heating oil tank to fail. If oil leaks from your tank, you could face thousands of dollars in remediation, repair, and replacement costs. These expenses are usually not covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy.
Inspect your heating oil tank regularly. If you notice any of these issues, contact Swezey right away, as they are signs of heating oil tank corrosion and looming tank failure.
Q. Should I remove my underground heating oil tank?
As we noted earlier, most underground heating oil tanks in our service area were removed starting around 30 years ago.
If you still have an underground tank at your home, you do not need to remove it unless it is leaking. However, steel underground heating oil tanks do degrade over time.
You can have your underground heating oil tank tested, but that only lets you know the condition of the tank the day it’s tested. It may be more cost-effective to simply have the tank removed and replace it with one of our sturdier, corrosion-resistant, double-walled aboveground tanks.
Q. Does my heating oil tank need to be registered?
Only heating oil tanks larger than 1,100 gallons need to be registered in Suffolk County.
