I bought a home over a year ago and we use oil heat. The lines that run from the tank to the burner run under the basement floor, which is cement. Recently, the company that we purchase our oil from and also maintains our equipment strongly suggested that we replace the underground lines with above ground ones. They mentioned that it is a high risk to have the underground lines in case of leakage. I know to have this done would cost a good deal of money, and I‘m just wondering if the risk is as significant as they are saying, or if this is more of a sales ploy than anything else. I‘ve worked in the sales industry, and I can‘t help but think this could be the case. Anyone with any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!
