Heating oil is the lifeblood of a warm, comfortable home during our chilly Pennsylvania winters. But like any major home appliance, the tank storing that fuel doesn’t last forever.
An aging tank can be a silent risk, potentially leading to costly leaks, environmental damage, and heating interruptions right when you need warmth the most.
At Oehlert Brothers, we believe proactive maintenance and timely replacement are key to protecting your property value and ensuring your family’s safety. Whether you are dealing with an old underground tank or an aging basement unit, upgrading to a modern system offers peace of mind guaranteed.
Most heating oil tanks last a long time, but they are not immortal. Corrosion often happens from the inside out, meaning your tank might look fine on the exterior while it’s deteriorating internally.
Here are a few indicators that you might need a heating oil tank removal or replacement soon:
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait for a heating oil tank failure. Scheduling a professional assessment with Oehlert Bros. now can save you from massive hassle and expense later.
When it comes time for a replacement, technology has come a long way. We are proud to install new-generation Granby aboveground tanks. These aren’t just metal boxes; they are engineered for safety and durability.
Granby tanks are designed to be virtually leak-proof, featuring double-wall construction that provides an extra layer of security. This “tank-within-a-tank” design is a game-changer for homeowners concerned about safety and environmental protection.
Key features of Granby tanks include:
We offer standard sizing for easy replacement, ensuring a seamless transition from your old unit. For residential customers, our standard is the reliable 275-gallon heating oil tank. If you manage a commercial property, we also supply 500- and 1,000-gallon options to meet higher demand.
