Check to See if You’re Eligible
To be fair to our clients who heat with oil and to offer this coverage at the lowest possible rate, certain eligibility criteria must be applied.
For example, fuel oil tanks cannot be insured if they show signs of corrosion, are not properly installed, or are too old.
To check whether you’re eligible and to prepare for your call, read over a few questions our agents will ask you.

After the cleanup, he commended himself for having added optional coverage against escape of fuel oil to his insurance policy, as the costs associated with a fuel oil spill are especially high.
