Why HRM Homeowners Choose Us for Oil Tank Removal

Insurance-deadline ready

Most of our calls are homeowners who received a non-renewal notice from their insurer because their tank is too old. We move fast on these jobs — quote within 48 hours, removal scheduled around your insurer's deadline.

NS regulations followed

Domestic fuel oil tanks are regulated under CSA B-139 and the NS Fuel Safety Act. We follow those rules, dispose of waste oil at licensed facilities, and provide a disposal certificate for your records.

Underground or aboveground

Buried tanks need excavation, soil assessment, and proper backfill. Aboveground tanks are simpler but still need careful drain-down. We handle both, and we can quote both honestly so you know what you're paying for.

Heat pump conversion friendly

Switching from oil to a heat pump under the Efficiency Nova Scotia rebate? We coordinate with your HVAC contractor so the old tank is gone before the new system runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does oil tank removal cost in Halifax?
Most oil tank removal jobs in HRM run between $400 and $3,000. Indoor aboveground tanks are the cheapest at $400–$1,200. Outdoor aboveground tanks fall in a similar range. Underground (buried) tank removal is the most involved, typically $1,500–$3,000, sometimes more if soil contamination is found. Call (902) 912-2483 for a free quote — we'll talk through your specific tank before quoting.
Does my home insurance require me to remove an old oil tank?
Most NS home insurers require tank replacement at 10, 15, or 20 years depending on tank type. Many homeowners discover this when they get a non-renewal letter. If your insurer has flagged your tank, removal and replacement (or conversion to heat pump) usually needs to happen within a defined window — we can move quickly on inspection-driven jobs.
Is oil tank removal regulated in Nova Scotia?
Yes. Domestic oil tanks fall under the NS Fuel Safety Act and must follow CSA B-139 and the National Fire Code of Canada. If oil spills during removal, the homeowner is legally responsible for cleanup. We follow provincial regulations throughout the removal and dispose of waste at licensed facilities.
Do you service all of HRM?
Yes — Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, Cole Harbour, Spryfield, Hammonds Plains, Fall River, and Waverley. If you're a bit outside that radius, call (902) 912-2483 and we'll let you know honestly whether we cover your area.
Can you remove my old tank during a heat pump conversion?
Yes. Many of our jobs are paired with oil-to-heat-pump conversions under the Efficiency Nova Scotia / Canada Greener Homes programs. We can coordinate timing with your HVAC contractor so the old tank is gone before the new system commissions.
How fast can you come out?
Most quotes happen within 48 hours of your call. Removal scheduling depends on tank type — aboveground indoor tanks can often be removed within a week, underground tanks take 2–4 weeks because of excavation scheduling. For urgent insurance-driven jobs, call (902) 912-2483 and tell us your insurer's deadline.
What happens to the old oil and the tank itself?
Residual fuel is drained and disposed of at a licensed facility. The tank is cut down and sent to scrap metal recycling. We provide a disposal certificate suitable for insurance or property-sale records.
