Complete heating oil tank installation services

With more than eight decades of proven expertise, Westmore Fuel leads the way in installing aboveground and underground tanks for your home or business.

There’s so much more to installing a heating oil tank than digging a hole and plopping a tank in it. That’s where the expertise and skill of Westmore Fuel come in.

Our dedicated installation crews bring their extensive professional experience to every job, working with efficient precision while ensuring that your property is treated with the personal care and respect it deserves.

Aboveground tank installation: We begin with selecting an ideal location at your home that is stable, level and away from heat sources or flood-prone areas. A concrete pad or noncombustible platform is then prepared to keep the tank secure and level over time.

Once the base is ready, the tank is positioned and anchored to prevent movement. We connect it to the home’s heating system using insulated, corrosion-resistant pipes, and install vent and fill pipes for safe refilling and ventilation. Spill and overfill protection measures are also incorporated to minimize environmental risks.

Underground tank installation: Westmore’s team will select a location that is safely away from your building and other structures, water sources and utility lines. Your new tank will be specifically made for underground use, either double-walled or corrosion-resistant, to guarantee durability and minimize the risk of leaks. Our backhoe team will carefully dig the pit. We use specialized equipment to carefully lower the tank and secure it with concrete anchors to prevent its shifting due to soil pressure or groundwater. The tank will be surrounded by sand or gravel for drainage support, then the soil will be backfilled and compacted for long-term stability.

We make sure that your new heating oil tank is installed to meet all local regulations and industry standards. Westmore’s team members are also thoroughly trained in safety best practices for installing heating oil tanks.

Heating oil tanks come in a variety of sizes

Westmore’s home heating oil tanks come in a variety of sizes. A larger unit will cost more, but will need fewer refills. Your Westmore installation representative can advise you on a tank size appropriate for your usage and provide an initial estimate of your fuel costs based on that usage.

Today’s tanks: light-years ahead of the old models

The newest generation of aboveground tanks is so much better than the tanks available from 20–30 years ago that there’s really no comparison.

Not only are these new tanks virtually leak-proof, their standard features provide more flexibility, protection and value than ever before:

• They are double-walled, which means that the inside tank holds the oil and the outside tank serves as added protection. The outer tank is often made from corrosion-resistant galvanized steel.
• They are built with alarms and discharge-detection systems, so that homeowners will know immediately if there has been a discharge from the inner tank to the outer tank.
• They come with tank warranties that can last for 20 or 30 years.
• The sleek designs of these tanks make them more attractive and give homeowners more flexibility to place them outside of the house or in their basement.

Fast and efficient oil tank installation and removal for Westchester County NY & Fairfield County, CT

Westmore Fuel has eight decades of experience in installing aboveground and underground tanks for a home or business. Our installation crews work quickly and efficiently, and always show respect for your property.

The same Westmore Fuel crews can remove your existing aboveground or underground tank. We will then replace it with a new unit, in the same or a different location. As with any of our installation services, we will clean up the area before we go.

Backhoe service

We use a backhoe for underground tank installations and removals. We will coordinate with you in advance to make sure we have access to the tank install location and that the area is free of obstructions. Once the tank is installed and the backhoe is off your property, we manicure the area to return it to its normal state.

Safe, expert heating oil tank removal

Heating oil tanks are pretty durable, but nothing lasts forever. If you heat your home with oil, odds are good that you’ll have to replace your tank.

Westmore Fuel makes the process seamless, with skilled and experienced technicians. Our team is carefully trained to meet both local regulations and industry standards for safety best practices, so you can be sure that your tank will be removed with minimum upheaval to your daily routine.

Aboveground tanks: After carefully inspecting the tank, we remove any heating oil remaining inside it and disconnect the piping and fuel lines. The tank is cleaned to remove any remaining sludge or other items that could leak during removal and transport. We then detach it from its base and carefully move it off your property. We handle disposing of the tank in accordance with best practices and local regulations.

Underground tanks: The process of removing underground heating oil tanks is more involved than the one for aboveground tanks. Our team is dedicated to ensuring safety, environmental compliance and peace of mind for you. We’ll help with securing any permits needed and we’ll make sure we’re following local regulations. Before we begin digging, we clear the site of obstructions so that our backhoe team can remove the tank swiftly and safely.

Oil tank maintenance

The oil tanks we install are strong and well made. However, since they are exposed to the elements or to underground moisture, it’s a good idea to have a Westmore Fuel representative inspect your oil tank at least once a year. This inspection is particularly important once your tank is five or more years old or is in a very exposed location.

Once your tank is installed, you can rest easy: Westmore Fuel provides reliable Bioheat® fuel deliveries, and offers service plans that include 24/7 emergency service.
