WHAT PROPANE TANK SIZE IS RIGHT FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD ?

Choosing the right propane tank size is a crucial decision that impacts not just the efficiency and cost- effectiveness of your propane usage but also the convenience and safety of your household. Here are a few things we consider to determine the right size of your propane tank:

Heating Demand and Square Footage

Larger homes or those in colder climates typically require more propane for heating. Calculating the total BTUs needed to heat your home can give you a clearer idea of the tank size required. This calculation considers the square footage of your home, insulation quality, and the climate zone you live in.

Appliance Usage

A household that uses propane for multiple applications, such as heating, cooking, water heating, and clothes drying, will require a larger tank than a household using propane for cooking alone. Consider the propane consumption rates of your appliances (usually provided by the manufacturer) to estimate your total usage.

Seasonal Variations

If you live in an area with significant seasonal temperature fluctuations, opting for a larger tank can provide peace of mind and prevent the need for frequent refills during peak usage times. Larger tanks can also offer more flexibility with delivery schedules, allowing you to take advantage of lower propane prices during off-peak seasons.

Delivery and Accessibility Considerations

The location and accessibility of your property play a significant role in determining the appropriate propane tank size. Remote properties or homes with challenging access may require larger tanks to accommodate less frequent deliveries, ensuring a consistent supply of propane. Similarly, properties with limited space or regulatory constraints might opt for manifolded 420 lb. cylinders as an alternative to a 500-gallon tank.
