What Is ProGuard Insurance?
2

• ProGuard tank protec6tion is insurance
  protecting active oil tanks on properties through
  their oil provider. It covers aboveground and
  underground tanks.

3

• A lot of homeowners using oil heat count on
  ProGuard for their oil tank insurance.

4

• If your client or yourself has ProGuard and they
  are wanting to sell their home, there are a few
  things you should be made aware of first.

5

• They may want to take the tank out and convert
  to gas, making it more appealing to buyers. You
  may advise them to go ahead and remove the oil
  tank, but that would not be the best option.

6

• Do Not Put In The Gas Line
• If you or your client gives the go-ahead to put
  in the gas line before pulling the tank out, they
  will have voided their contract with ProGuard.
  All the money that has gone into the insurance
  will be voided. You will want your client to
  thoroughly read through their contract before
  making the switch over to gas.

• Call ProGuard
• If you have any questions regarding your
  contract or need a clearer picture of what needs
  to be done, call ProGuard and talk to a
  representative. You will need to tell them that
  you want to do a voluntary pull and what needs
  to happen to be able to have that done within the
  contract terms because you want to sell the
  property or convert to gas. ProGuard will go
  through the process with you. The last thing you
  want to do is accidentally void your contract and
  lose your money invested.

• Should I Switch To Gas?
• You or your client will have to have a company
  come in that can conduct soil testing with a
  guarantee. Without the guarantee, you risk paying
  more expenses. Simple Tank can come to the home
  and examine whether or not there is contamination.

9

• Your client or you, as the homeowner, need to
  decide then if you really want gas. Simple Tank
  will be able to tell you if the tank is leaking
  and what the price will be. It may not be worth
  it for you or the homeowner to invest in
  switching to gas. If you still want to be covered
  under your insurance with ProGuard, you have to
  stick with oil for twelve months with a leaking
  tank. They will deliver an aboveground tank and
  deliver new oil.

• However, if you are facing only a minor cleanup
  due to the leakage, it might be worth it to just
  have Simple Tank pull the tank. Simple Tank will
  be able to assess the damage and give you a
  guarantee on price. Smaller cleanups are going to
  be less expensive. Then, you would be able to
  convert to gas and sell the property.

• It is important that you or the homeowner
  understands the ramifications of pulling out a
  leaking tank under contract with ProGuard. If you
  want to know the extent of the damage and how
  much soil contamination there is, Simple Tank
  will be able to provide that with you before you
  make your decision.
