Hurricane Preparation Tips for Heating Oil Customers
To help prepare for the arrival of the forecasted hurricane, the Energy Communications Council (which is funded by the National Oilheat Research Alliance) is offering tips on how to prepare and check up on oil-fired heating systems before and after flooding:
Preparation before a flood:
• If you must evacuate, turn off the heating oil supply valve at the tank before flood waters rise.
• If you must evacuate, turn off furnace or boiler emergency switch.
• Particularly in FEMA designated ‘flood prone areas,’ the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that basement and above-ground heating oil tanks should be ‘anchored to resist movement’ resulting from a flood condition. Contact your local dealer if you have any questions.
After a flood:
• If oilheat equipment has been flooded, be sure to shut off the tank service valve if you did not do so before evacuating.
• Look for any visible structural damage. If the tank has shifted, lines are bent or damaged, or you notice anything else unusual, contact your heating oil retailer immediately.
• Damage to pumps, filters, and electronic controls is a significant problem caused by flooding. Heating oil appliances and equipment that have been underwater should be inspected by your professional retailer before being placed back into service.
