Heating Oil Tanks
Oil Tank Replacement
If your home heating oil tank is more than 10 years old, you must consider an oil tank replacement.
Irish weather - wind, rain, sunshine, frost, sea air - cause corrosion of heating oil tanks.
A leak can occur due to damage inflicted to the tank, due to weather corrosion or due to old age.
A heating oil tank that bursts, cracks or leaks will cause damage to human health, buildings and/or the environment.

FAQ's
I have eight inches of oil in my tank, will I run out tonight as it’s very cold?
in Frequently Asked QuestionsYou should not run out of oil tonight. You may run out depending on the distance from your tank to your burner, the height differential from your tank to the burner and the capacity of your tank. You should contact your local depot for a delivery as quickly as possible.
How much oil does a standard modern house use a year?
in Frequently Asked QuestionsThis depends on the efficiency of the boiler and whether it is serviced regularly, which is a must.
If you look after your boiler, it will use approximately €1,300 per year worth of oil.
This figure can be halved if you install a newer condensing boiler.
How can I tell how much oil is in my tank at any time?
