There are several things that one should consider when deciding which propane tank is right for them. For instance, are you heating a storage room or a warehouse? Do you have space in your yard for the tank or must it be buried underground? All in all, determining your needs is as easy as 1-2-3.

STEP 1
ABOVEGROUND OR UNDERGROUND?
Propane tanks are always placed on site. Although certain state laws and regulations must be followed, general tank designs allows for some flexibility in where our tanks are installed. There are certain benefits to each type of setting. Click on each of the following to learn more about their unique offerings. Click on the tanks for a description.

STEP 2
WHAT IS THE PROPANE LOAD OF YOUR SYSTEM?
Often times, the most difficult decision is choosing the approximate size tank you need. This should be calculated by your propane supplier. However, he/she will need to know the actual propane load of your system. By calculating this in advance, their job will be made easier.

Determining the actual propane load will provide a more specific estimate of your tank needs. The total load is the sum of all gas usage in your home or building. It is arrived at by adding up the BTU input of all gas appliances in the installation. The BTU input may be obtained from the nameplate on the appliance or from the manufacturer's literature. Future appliances which may be installed should also be considered when planning the initial installation to eliminate the need for later revision of piping and tank size.
