Residential Propane Tanks - common questions

What size propane tank do I need for my house?
A single appliance such as a range, fireplace or pool heater is 120 gallon territory. Hot water, cooking and a dryer, or supplemental heating, usually means 250 gallons, which is also the minimum tank size Generac specifies for its home standby generators. A larger home with several gas appliances takes a 325, and a house that heats entirely with propane usually takes 500 gallons - see the propane tank size chart.
How much do residential propane tanks cost?
We currently stock 6 options in this range, starting at $715.00. Pricing is factory direct, and orders over $2,000 ship free unless the item requires freight delivery.
How do I pay for my order?
Place your order online and pay securely by card through Stripe. Your receipt and itemised invoice arrive by email the moment the payment goes through, and your order moves straight into processing.
How is delivery handled?
Smaller parts ship by parcel carrier. Tanks and cages ship by freight, and the carrier calls ahead to arrange a delivery window. Freight cost depends on your site access, so we confirm the charge and your final total before you send payment.

Sizing a residential propane tank

The right home tank comes down to two questions: what does it feed, and how often do you want a delivery truck in the drive. A tank that only runs a cooktop or a fireplace can be small; one that carries central heating through winter needs enough capacity that you are not watching the gauge every fortnight.

As a working rule, 120 gallons suits a single appliance such as a range, water heater or fireplace. Around 250 gallons handles supplemental heating plus appliances, and is the minimum tank size Generac specifies for its home standby generators. A 325 gallon tank is the bridge size for larger homes with several gas appliances. Homes that heat entirely with propane usually belong one category up, in our 500 gallon and larger commercial range.

All residential tanks here are new, certified vessels that ship empty. Add a first fill when you order and a licensed local propane supplier fills the tank after a licensed installer sets it to NFPA 58 and your local code and it passes its leak check. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one - the installed cost difference is modest, deliveries get cheaper per gallon, and you gain reserve for outages.
