The company
Built by a Suffolk electrician who got tired of watching it happen.
Tank Alarm started not in a product meeting, but in a driveway in mid-Suffolk — rewiring a farmhouse after its owner had just had £600 of heating oil stolen. The third time that year.
The story
Why Tank Alarm exists
Our team are qualified electricians based in Suffolk. Over the course of our careers, we kept encountering the same problem: customers calling after a heating oil theft, often needing secondary electrical work as part of the aftermath — damaged conduit, disturbed external wiring, or a heating system fault triggered by running dry.
The available solutions weren't good enough. Generic motion sensors produced false alarms from animals. Level monitors told you oil was gone after the fact. Smart home integrations required broadband connections many rural properties don't have. Consumer alarm products weren't designed for continuous outdoor exposure in the UK climate.
So we built one. Tank Alarm uses a dedicated fuel level sensor that triggers immediately when oil begins to drop unexpectedly — without requiring Wi-Fi, cloud accounts, or mobile signal. The hardware was designed around the specific failure modes of existing products, and tested in the Suffolk weather, not a product lab.
Tank Alarm Pro is the professional installation service built on top of that hardware. Not a sales operation that subcontracts to whoever's available — every installation is carried out by a qualified electrician who understands the system inside out.
What we stand for
The principles behind the service
Rural first
We're not a city security company dipping into the countryside. We're based here. We know the properties, the roads, and the way theft happens in East Anglia.
Electricians, not salespeople
Every installation is done by a qualified electrician. We're not training weekend engineers to a script — the person who fits your alarm understands the circuitry.
Industrial-grade build
Consumer alarm products are designed for indoor use with a weatherproof label applied. Tank Alarm is designed from the ground up for continuous outdoor operation.
Honest pricing
The price you see covers everything. No upsells. No 'premium' cables that are mysteriously required. One price, one job, done properly.
