Oil Tank Replacement in Westchester County

If you're staying on oil heat, replacing an old buried steel tank with a modern aboveground tank, or a double-walled underground tank, avoids the cleanup bill a leak can bring.

What to know

• The NYS DEC says older tanks are more likely to leak, and tanks not designed for burial will eventually corrode.
• Replacement usually combines removal of the old tank with installation of the new one.
• Ask for the new tank's specs and warranty in writing.
• Some villages ask for equipment specs and a drawing of the tank and oil lines with the application.
