Oil Tank Removal
Professional heating oil tank dismantling service! Since December 31, 2023, Quebec prohibits the replacement of oil heating systems with another fossil fuel system in existing residences. Whether your tank is indoor, outdoor, or buried underground, it must be removed by qualified professionals to prevent any risk of contamination.
Why remove your oil tank?
Environmental risks
An aging tank can develop fuel oil leaks that contaminate soil and groundwater. Buried tanks pose an even greater risk, as leaks can go undetected for a long time.
Property value
The presence of an oil tank — especially a buried one — significantly decreases your property value. Its removal is an asset when selling and reassures potential buyers and financial institutions.
Legal requirement
Quebec regulations require the removal of unused tanks. Work must be carried out by a contractor holding an appropriate RBQ license, in compliance with the CSA B139 Installation Code and the National Fire Prevention Code (NFPC).
How does the dismantling process work?
Indoor, outdoor and buried tanks
Our technicians handle all types of oil tanks, whether installed indoors, outdoors, or buried underground. For underground tanks, excavation may be required and a soil characterization will be performed to detect any contamination. If needed, we will provide a decontamination plan that meets all environmental requirements.
Available subsidies
Chauffez vert program
The Quebec government's Chauffez vert program offers financial assistance of up to $1,275 for replacing an oil heating system with an electric system. Complete removal of the tank is a mandatory condition to qualify for this subsidy.
Important: Work must be completed and the application submitted before March 31, 2026. No application will be accepted after this date.

Insurance savings
Removing your oil tank can help reduce your home insurance premiums. Additionally, you reclaim valuable space in your basement and permanently eliminate the risks of leaks and spills.
By switching to an electric heating system, you also benefit from more predictable energy costs and a significant reduction in your greenhouse gas emissions.
