Meet Your Tank’s New Best Friend Why APD’s Tank Monitoring Services Might Be the MVP of Your Winter

Why APD’s Tank Monitoring Services Might Be the MVP of Your Winter

When you live in Fairbanks, “running on empty” is a very real (and very chilly) possibility. That’s why we offer tank monitoring for APD heating customers: a smart and easy way to keep tabs on your fuel and take a little stress off your shoulders.

So, What Does This Thing Actually Do?

Glad you asked. The monitor straps onto your tank like it means business, because it does. It tracks your fuel levels using built-in sensors, then beams that data straight to our dispatch system right in Fairbanks.

We monitor it, so you don’t have to. As your levels drop, we’ll get you on the schedule before you run low.

Want to sneak a peek yourself? There’s an app for that, so you can check your tank in your slippers instead of your snow boots.

Know Before You Monitor

Before we throw a party in your tank’s honor, let’s make sure it’s eligible. Tank monitoring works best when a few key boxes are checked:

Above-ground tank? Check.
Monitors need a clear line of sight and access to the tank’s ports. If your setup is underground or buried in snow piles all winter, it may not be a fit.

Good cell signal? Even better.
The monitor sends real-time data using a cellular connection. So if you’ve got zero bars, it might need a different setup. (Ask us about GPS monitors, because we’ve got tricks.)

Steady usage? That’s the sweet spot.
Homes and businesses with fairly consistent heating patterns see the biggest benefit. If your household runs through 3-7 gallons a day or keeps a predictable schedule, you’re a prime candidate.

Still not sure? Just call us. We’ll take a look and let you know if monitoring makes sense for your tank.
