How Does Remote Tank Monitoring Work?

Burch has been the trusted source of reliable heating oil and propane in the community since 1928. Our family takes great pride in keeping our neighbors’ homes and businesses warm season after season, no matter how extreme Southern Maryland’s weather gets.

One of the ways we continue our legacy of comfort is through remote heating oil and propane tank monitoring. This simple, yet powerful, tool helps us know exactly how much fuel you’ve used and when it’s time to schedule your next delivery.

But how does this remote tank monitoring work? Let’s take a look.

Smart Technology That Works for You

Remote tank monitoring is available to our propane and commercial heating oil customers. It uses a small, wireless device installed on your tank that tracks your fuel level in real time.

Here’s how it works behind the scenes:

  1. Sensors Measure Your Fuel Level: A monitor sits on top of the tank and regularly measures the fuel in your tank.
  2. Your Tank Data Is Sent Directly to Us: The sensor sends data to us, so we always know how much fuel is in your tank.
  3. We Set Up Deliveries: If you’re set up with our automatic deliveries, the instant your propane or heating oil falls below a certain level, our dedicated local team conveniently schedules a new shipment of fuel for you.
  4. We Alert You if There’s an Issue: In the unlikely event there’s a leak or an unexpected spike in usage, the sensor notifies us instantly. That means you and our team can act quickly to prevent bigger issues.
