Why Toronto Homeowners Must Prioritize Removal

  • The 2025 TSSA "3-Year Rule": Under the newest TSSA Fuel Oil Code Adoption Document (CAD), any fuel tank that has been inactive for three years or longer is classified as high-risk and must be professionally removed.
  • Insurance & Real Estate Deadlines: Most Toronto insurers now refuse coverage for exterior tanks older than 15 years or interior tanks over 20–25 years. Furthermore, Toronto’s fast-paced real estate market now strictly requires an official Certificate of Tank Removal before mortgage lenders will approve a property transfer.
  • Escalating Environmental Costs: A single leak can lead to soil and groundwater contamination. In 2025, Ontario’s Excess Soil Registry fees increased by 30%, making the legal disposal of contaminated soil more expensive than ever. Cleanup costs in Toronto often exceed $100,000.
  • Up to $10,000 in OHPA Grants: If you are transitioning to a high-efficiency electric heat pump, our removal service is a critical step in securing federal energy rebates. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) Program provides upfront grants of up to $10,000 specifically to cover the cost of switching off oil, including the safe removal of your tank.
  • New 2025 Inspection Standards: The TSSA now emphasizes annual visual inspections for all active systems. If your system is dormant, it no longer qualifies for "grandfathered" status and must be decommissioned to stay compliant with 2025 municipal property standards.
