- from oil heat to propane.

Insurance companies require you to get new oil tanks every few years, so they have no risk, without any consideration of the cost to home owners. New oil tanks must be purchased & installed by licensed technicians (you cannot even buy one yourself) @ a cost of $2,500 or more.

Right, only one connection. The government here make us easy pickings to the approved contractors.

We bought our own tank and call various places for pricing every time we fill. This has helped costs. However, most of the businesses tell us one thing and bill something else ( higher of course). My husband constantly checks the bills and almost always finds they have ripped us off. I feel bad for the people who may not check their bills carefully.
