Heating Oil Tank Installation and Service on Long Island

Protect your home with comprehensive oil tank services from Scarpelli Mechanical

If you live on Long Island, chances are good that your home relies on heating oil to stay warm during the cold winter months.

Your heating oil tank is a critical part of that system, but it’s often out of sight and out of mind until something goes wrong.

An old or failing oil tank isn’t just an inconvenience; it can pose a serious risk to your property and the environment.

For more than 25 years, Scarpelli Mechanical has provided Long Island homeowners with reliable and safe heating oil tank services.

Oil tank services you can trust

At Scarpelli Mechanical, we provide comprehensive services to keep your heating oil system in top condition.

• Heating oil tank installation: When it’s time to install a new heating oil tank, one of your first decisions is selecting the right size. Oil tank sizes are measured in gallons, and the most common residential options are 275 and 330 gallons. Our licensed and insured technicians can assess your home’s specific needs and recommend the ideal tank size to give you a sufficient supply of oil without taking up unnecessary space. Scarpelli Mechanical will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to determine the most suitable location, considering factors such as accessibility, ground stability and proximity to other utilities. We’ll also handle all necessary permits and adhere to strict regulations and environmental guidelines to protect your property. Beyond installation, we offer ongoing support to protect your investment.
• Heating oil tank protection: Even the best tanks benefit from extra protection. We offer oil tank protection plans that provide you an extra layer of security. These plans can cover costs associated with cleanup and replacement in the unlikely event of a leak, offering you complete peace of mind.

What are the advantages of a new oil tank?

Older oil tanks are made of bare steel and are highly susceptible to internal rust and corrosion. Accumulated water and sludge slowly erode the metal, leading to costly, property-damaging leaks.

Today’s heating oil tanks, however, utilize advanced materials engineered to prevent these issues, providing a safer, more reliable solution for your home.

The modern tanks we install, like those from the leading brands Roth and Granby, are designed for superior safety and longevity. Here’s what makes them different:

• Corrosion-resistant materials: Many new tanks feature a double-walled design, with an inner tank made of blow-molded, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and an outer shell of leakproof, weld-free galvanized steel. This construction makes them highly resistant to corrosion.
• Leak detection systems: Advanced tanks often include built-in monitoring systems that can detect leaks in the primary tank and contain them in the outer tank, preventing environmental contamination and costly cleanups.
• Long-term warranties: Reputable manufacturers back their products with substantial warranties — some for up to 30 years — giving you confidence in your investment.

Your heating oil tank is too important to trust to just anyone. At Scarpelli Mechanical, we combine decades of hands-on experience with top-quality products from Roth and Granby to deliver reliable, long-lasting solutions for Long Island homeowners.
