Oil Tank Alarm Installation in Braintree
Braintree and mid-Essex's rural belt have a significant concentration of oil-heated properties. The villages between Braintree and the Suffolk border — Halstead, Earls Colne, Gosfield — are predominantly off the gas network, relying on oil for all their heating needs.

Oil theft in Braintree
The A120 corridor through Braintree is a noted rural crime route — organised gangs move between properties quickly using the fast road links, making an immediate-response alarm critical.
The Tank Alarm system deters and detects theft the moment oil begins to drop unexpectedly — before significant fuel can be removed. The 110dB external siren is heard clearly at range, and tamper detection means the alarm can't be silently disabled.
