One of the benefits of powering your home’s heating, water heater and gas-powered appliances with propane is that you have a dedicated supply of fuel on your property. You control your energy supply in a propane tank instead of relying on the aging, poorly maintained infrastructure of a natural gas utility.
At East Coast Propane, we sell and rent top-of-the-line propane tanks in a range of sizes to homes and businesses in Doylestown and other Bucks County communities. Here’s a rundown of some key information you should know about your home’s propane tank.
The size of the propane tank you need largely depends on how large your property is and how many propane-powered products you have. Here are the standard tank sizes we carry:
Propane tank rentals offer an affordable, stress-free alternative to owning your propane tank. A propane tank can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and that’s before you include the costs of installation, upkeep and repairs.
However, you can rent a tank from the company that delivers your propane. The company determines the right tank size for your needs. They install it and maintain it as long as you’re their customer. And if your propane needs change, they can even swap the tank out for another size.
It’s important to know how to shut off your home’s propane supply, especially in the unlikely event of a propane leak. On top of your tank is a dome lid. All you need to do is lift it to locate the valve and then turn it all the way clockwise to close off the flow of propane.
Please note that if you suspect a gas leak on your property, you should only attempt to shut off your propane tank if it’s safe to do so. The most important thing to do if there’s a leak is to evacuate the area immediately and then contact 911 and your provider. They can fix the issue and advise you when it’s safe to return.
