FAQ
Oil tank questions from St. John's
How do I get my oil tank replaced in St. John's?
Send one request with your address and tank details. We pass it to licensed installers who cover St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula, and they contact you with a quote.
Do installers in St. John's remove old tanks after a heat pump install?
Yes. Removal is a common job: pumping out the leftover oil and sludge, taking the tank away, and sealing the old fill and vent pipes.
Will my home insurance cover an oil leak?
It depends on your policy and the tank. Many insurers ask for the tank's age and material at renewal and when a home is sold, and some decline or limit coverage on older steel tanks. Call your insurer and ask what they need from you before your renewal date.
