It is important to note that you must have the following things in order to have the Smart Oil Gauge installed:
- Wi-Fi network in your home that can pick up signals from the Smart Oil Gauge in the cellar. You must also have a smartphone, tablet or PC.
- Steel oil tank. This product will not yet work with Roth oil tanks, although they are working on a solution for owners of Roth double wall tanks.
- A spare two inch opening on the top of your oil tank to install the Smart Oil Gauge. It is possible to install this device in place of your current oil gauge if it is in a two inch opening and is not part of a combination vent alarm/gauge.
Crowley Fuel is currently taking orders for these units to be delivered and/or installed in the summer of 2017. The cost for each Smart Oil Gauge is $169.00 plus tax. These gauges can be installed by the homeowner with a pipe wrench and joint compound, or customers can call for an estimate to have our technicians do the installation. For most accessible oil tanks the fee would be $80.00.
