Our clients expect and get great results, but every now and then we run into a problem with an oil boiler. 99 of these problems are traced to the oil tank that has been in the house for 25 years or more. Over the years, sediment accumulates at the bottom of the tank and forms sludge. We do our best to prevent this sludge from entering the oil lines by inserting them through the top of the tank and leaving the end of the tubing above the sludge. We also use a very good oil filter. Still, this is never enough. Despite our best efforts, dirty oil finds its way to the oil nozzle. After many hours of unnecessary labor, Ive come to the conclusion that whenever a boiler is replaced the oil tank should be replaced. It just makes sense. We wouldnt buy a brand new car and use the gas tank from our old car. If you are considering replacing your oil boiler or furnace be prepared to spend at least $1500 to replace the oil tank. Believe me, its worth it.

Some people attribute this to being less active in the winter months. That may be true, but now we have another excuse. I recently read a book about the relationship of radiant heat systems and the body that stated, colder outside temperatures stimulates the appetite and leads to an increase in appetite. Dig in and stay warm.
