Leahy’s Fuels handles all your heating oil tank needs
If your heating oil tank is 20 years or older, or if you’re uncertain of its age, time is not on your side. Waiting until it’s too late and your tank fails can result in significant expenses.
You may be left dealing with the costs of cleaning up spilled fuel, addressing environmental damage and replacing the tank, which can amount to tens of thousands of dollars. Regrettably, these expenses are typically not covered by most homeowners’ insurance policies.
Now is the perfect moment to start strategizing for your tank’s replacement, and Leahy’s Fuels is here to offer our assistance.
We provide comprehensive heating oil tank services, beginning with the installation of high-quality and long-lasting tanks. We also offer financing through Synchrony. Our commitment goes beyond mere installation. We ensure strict compliance with all regulations and codes, obtain any necessary permits, properly dispose of your old tank, and inform you of any applicable municipal or state fees for tank disposal. With our services, you can trust that your heating oil tank is taken care of with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail.
Today’s heating oil tanks are built with superior materials and advanced features that prioritize safety and efficiency. They are meticulously designed to prevent leaks and overfilling, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners. Some tanks even go the extra mile with a double-wall construction, featuring a weld-free galvanized steel exterior tank and a durable polyethylene interior tank. This innovative design provides an additional layer of protection against potential leaks.
For those seeking affordability without compromising on quality, single-walled tanks are available and are recommended only for indoor use. With such cutting-edge tank options, homeowners can confidently rely on their heating systems for uninterrupted comfort throughout the year.
We highly recommend that our customers consider using aboveground heating oil tanks for a variety of compelling reasons. The first is that you can easily detect leaks in an aboveground heating oil tank, which is not the case with underground tanks. This added safety feature ensures that any leaks can be promptly addressed, minimizing the risk of environmental damage or financial loss.
Moreover, if you plan to sell your home in the future, having an underground oil tank can significantly complicate the process. Homebuyers are understandably hesitant to take on the potential financial and environmental risks associated with underground oil tanks. By opting for an aboveground tank, you can alleviate these concerns and make your property more appealing to potential buyers, enhancing marketability and ensuring a smoother selling process.
Overall, the use of aboveground heating oil tanks provides peace of mind, improved safety and greater convenience for homeowners. Consider this option to protect your investment and enjoy a hassle-free experience with your heating system.

Installation options include 275 & 330 steel (Granby or single wall) & Roth (Double wall) 275 & 400. We offer a range of tank sizes so that homeowners can select the most suitable option based on their specific needs and requirements.
