Harlequin launches pre‑installed smart gauge technology to simplify oil tank monitoring

From September, Harlequin will equip its best‑selling ITE and ITT heating oil tank ranges with a pre‑installed smart gauge – giving installers a powerful new selling point and making monitoring easier than ever for customers.

The Smart Gauge uses advanced radar technology to measure oil levels with exceptional accuracy, providing readings on litres remaining, average consumption, and days to empty. Data is sent directly to the end‑user’s smartphone via Bluetooth, giving them instant visibility of their tank status without the need for manual checks.

For installers, the benefits are clear:

No additional fitting – the gauge comes pre‑installed and factory‑calibrated.

Quick set‑up – customers simply download the free app and pair with their tank.

Satisfied customers with fewer emergency call‑outs – accurate monitoring helps customers avoid run‑outs and schedule deliveries efficiently.

Added value in every install – a ready‑to‑go monitoring solution included as standard.

Paul Kidd, Commercial Director at Harlequin, said: “Customers are surprised this kind of convenience isn’t already standard in the oil tank industry.

With the Smart Gauge, installers can offer something genuinely useful that also reduces the likelihood of costly emergency deliveries.

“We’ve made installation as simple as possible – the gauge is fitted at the factory, so it’s just a case of installing the app, using the provided magnet to wake up the gauge and scanning the barcode to pair it. It couldn’t be easier.”

The Smart Gauge has been rigorously tested in partnership with Magnus to exceed current remote gauge performance standards. By integrating the system into its tanks from the outset, Harlequin has removed the complexity and time normally associated with retrofitting monitoring devices.

From September, all new Harlequin ITE and ITT oil tanks will include the Smart Gauge as standard, giving installers a convenient solution for their customers.
