Safety Suggestions for Oil Heat Users in New Hampshire

Keep Up with Annual Maintenance and Inspections

Scheduling annual maintenance is critical to keeping your oil-fired home heating equipment operating efficiently and safely. Making sure your oil tank and its parts are checked by a trained professional is beneficial to the integrity of the system and the safety of your home.

Check for Corrosion and Leaks

During the year when your tank is not being inspected, be sure to be aware of your oil tank and check for signs of possible corrosion or leaks. The best way to prevent both is to keep your tank full throughout the year.

Maintain Oil Fill Pipe Safety

Always make sure your fill pipe is clear of debris like branches and ice and snow. Clear away everything that could be hindering it or creating a dangerous situation.

Stay Aware of Your Oil Tank Feed Line

If your oil feed line is exposed to concrete, it’s time for a feedline replacement. The chemical interaction of these materials can cause a scenario where your feed line may degrade and leak. Be sure to have your feed line replaced with a modern coated line located above the floor. This is an easy fix that can help avoid serious leak issues.
