4 Reasons To Refill Your Oil Tank in Summer

Out of sight. Out of mind.

Letting the oil level in your tank drop during the summer is easy. You don’t use as much oil since you aren’t heating your home, so tank refills are not on your mind. We know that losing track of your supply can happen. But if you want to keep your tank and heating system working well, you should plan to refill your oil tank in summer. From extending your oil tank’s life to saving money, we have four good reasons for you to fill up before the fall weather rolls in.

DID YOU KNOW? Many insurance companies require homeowners to monitor their fuel levels as part of their homeowner’s responsibilities.

4 Reasons To Refill Your Oil Tank In Summer

You don’t have to wait until the fall to fill up your tank. In fact, filling up in the summer has some decided benefits.

ONE. 

Keeping a full oil tank prevents internal condensation.

The less air your tank holds, the more room there is for air, moisture and condensation to build up inside. This can lead to rust and corrosion, which cause damage and, eventually, create the need for you to replace the tank. That is a hassle and an expense you can avoid with regular oil tank refills.

TWO.

Keeping a good supply of fresh oil in your tank helps to prevent sludge buildup in the lines.

When you have rust, microbial growth and moisture inside your tank, it builds up and sinks to the bottom, where it can clog up the filter and the lines. No, thank you! Keep your oil supply flowing smoothly and your home and water heated consistently when you refill your oil tank in summer instead of waiting for the fall.

THREE. 

Refilling in the summer means you have a chance to save because of off-season prices.

Oil prices are affected by supply and demand, just like everything else. So, when you buy during the summer, you can take advantage of lower, off-season prices.

FOUR.

Filling up your tank in the summer means you're prepared for the fall. 

A summertime tank refill means you’ll have the fuel you need for summer hot water, and you won’t be scrambling when the first cold snap rolls in and you need to turn up the heat.
