A property owner, living in a village in Co Down, NI, and who regularly works from home, needed an oil tank for his new-build house. 

His home is off mains gas and so relies on heating oil for warmth and hot water.

He was keen to ensure the tank was bunded and robust to avoid any chance of an oil leak contaminating and polluting his back garden.   Plus, the rising cost of fuel, along with a requirement to heat his home for extended periods, meant that he was also keen to have tank monitoring to help him manage his energy consumption.

Titan bunded tanks and tank monitoring units were recommended by his plumber, as high-quality, reliable products from a market-leading, local manufacturer.

Kingspan’s team recommended he install an EcoSafe® Bunded Oil Tank. The tank has a Watchman Sonic Advanced monitoring system fitted as standard, which was upgraded using a Watchman SENSiT USB Receiver to give the homeowner access to an app with a host of additional features. 

The Watchman Sonic Advanced monitoring unit gives customers early warning of predicted empty/run-out date, so that they can better plan their oil deliveries and purchase their oil at times when it is cheaper.  The device also shows them how much oil they are using 24/7, with remote access to data provided through the app.

The customer advises: “We bought the EcoSafe tank mainly because of Kingspan’s strong reputation as an oil tank manufacturer.  We’ve been really impressed, particularly with the remote tank monitoring system.

“The app is very user friendly – simple and straight to the point.  Installation and pairing of the device was easy, guided by the app. 

“I’ve had the tank for a year now and it’s proved to be an intuitive, easy to use, and reliable system that helps me monitor my oil usage very effectively.”
