Most above-ground tanks have a gauge that will tell you how much oil
is in your tank. Ideally you would order oil when your gauge shows 1/4
tank full
What if my tank does not have a gauge ?
If your tank does not have a gauge then you would need to measure
how many inches of oil are in your tank. Based on the tank size and
the inch count, a is then used to determine the
approximate amount of oil you currently have.

software that uses a "degree day" system that you can sign
up for. This alleviates the hassle of measuring your tank or
worrying when to get your next oil delivery .
2) Products such as "The Rocket" can be installed for a minimal

How often should I get my heating system serviced ?
Ideally you should have your Heating system serviced once a year.
Without this routine maintenance, oil by-products called "soot" can
build up over time and cause your system to stop working. Cleaning
the system once a year will prevent any problems and keep your unit
running efficiently. TIP: Spring and summer are good times to
schedule this routine maintenance. The technician can devote more
quality time to your system without having to rush on to an "emergency
no heat call".

Oil tanks/oil lines, that are exposed to extreme cold can gell up in due
to the natural paraffin contained in heating oil. You can reduce the
chances of this with the winterizing protection. Most additives will also
help with breaking up any sludge that has accumulated inside your
tank. Additives can be bought from your heating oil dealer or at most
plumbing supply retailers.
Kerosene can also help change the pour point of heating oil to aid in
anti gelling by adding it to you heating oil tank.
