Need a New Oil Tank?

You should consider replacing a single skin oil tank for a number of reasons, including: 

  • Environmental risk
    Single skin tanks are more likely to leak and spill oil, which can contaminate soil and water sources. Oil spills can be devastating to the local environment, including polluting waterways and destroying natural habitats. 

  • Regulatory compliance
    Many areas have regulations that require bunded tanks for certain installations, especially in environmentally sensitive areas or for larger capacity tanks. 

  • Peace of mind
    A bunded tank offers an added layer of protection and peace of mind that your heating oil is safely contained. 

  • Fire protection
    Fire protection requirements may have changed since your current oil tank was installed. Oil tanks now have to meet minimum clearance distances from other structures.

Do INew Oil Tank Install Llanelli a “Bunded” Tank?

Yes, bunded tanks are a legal requirement for all new domestic, commercial, and agriculture tank installations.

This means if you are due an upgrade or replacement, your new tank must be bunded to comply with local and national regulations.

The new requirement was put in place because Bunded Tanks offer more environmental protection than single-skins (tanks without a bund) and are by far the safest way to store fuel.

What Is a Bunded Tank?

Bunded tanks have an ‘outer-bund’, so they have two ‘skins’. A Bunded tank is essentially a tank within a tank. The oil is held in the inner tank or ‘skin’ and the outer-skin is a secondary tank that offers protection. This bund must be able to take the contents of the inner tank plus 10 % so in other words 110% of the tanks capacity in order to comply.

What Are The Benefits of Bunded Tanks?

Bunded tanks offer added protection against contamination, leakages, and oil replacement, making them the safest way to store fuel. If the inner-skin cracks, the bund will retain the fuel and it can be reused, preventing environmental damage to the surrounding area. This extra protection could save you from incurring a costly fine in the event of a leak.

You often get more guarantees and perks with a bunded tank, such as longer manufacturer warranties that can last up to 10 years, as long as installed by an OFTEC-accredited engineer.

Overall, they are a much safer and popular option for domestic heating oil users. Our tanks have 10 Year Manufacturers’ Guarantees and British Kitemark Approval for ultimate peace of mind

Replacing your old oil-fired boiler could make a huge difference to your oil consumption and heating bills

According to the Energy Saving Trust, heating and hot water accounts for over half of what you spend in a year on energy, so an “efficient boiler makes a big difference”. Even if your existing oil boiler is reliable, it’s probably costing you a huge amount in wasted oil. That’s because over the last 25 years, there have been dramatic improvement in oil boiler efficiencies, with the introduction of condensing technology (where the boiler recovers more heat from the exhaust flue and uses it to heat the central heating water). That means far less oil needs to be burnt to keep your home warm.

In times when the oil price is high, the savings that can be made by replacing an old oil-fired boiler become even more significant. Running an ultra-efficient, modern oil-fired boiler can have a dramatic impact on your annual heating oil usage. As shown in Figure 1, below, replacing an old, 20-year-old oil-fired boiler with 60% efficiency with a modern oil-fired boiler with 95% efficiency would reduce annual oil consumption for a typical household from 2,500 litres to only 1,579 litres – a huge reduction of 921 litres. As well as the obvious saving from not having to purchase 921 litres of additional heating oil every year, lower annual oil consumption will mean that an oil tank refill will last longer and give you more flexibility on when you buy oil, for the best rates, to save even more money.New Oil Tank Install Ammanford

HOW MUCH CAN YOU SAVE WITH AN A-RATED BOILER?

For those with an old, inefficient boiler, the benefits of installing a modern A-rated energy efficient boiler are significant.

If you have an old gas boiler with a G efficiency rating, then upgrading to a modern condensing boiler with an A rating could save you upwards of £350 per year on your heating bill.

By way of a case study, consider this situation:

You have an old, free standing G-rated gas boiler with a 55% efficiency rating. It has no separate room controls and must heat an entire detached house. The estimated cost of running this boiler for one year is around £1,705.

Replacing this inefficient boiler with a new, A-rated boiler rated at 90% efficiency could heat the same home for a year for just £1,053.

That’s an annual saving of £652, roughly £54 per month!

With integrated heating controls and smart home technology, the effective efficiency of these boilers can be increased further, saving you even more money.

However, the reduction in your heating bills will be much lower when replacing a moderately efficient boiler to a highly efficient boiler. In these cases, the best way to save on energy costs is to integrate smart controls.

Being aware of what the efficiency labels on your boiler mean is crucial in helping you to decide if getting a new boiler would work for you. So, let’s look at the different rating systems for boiler efficiency that you might encounter.
