Start from the load, not the tank. List what the propane will feed and when: a single appliance - a range, a fireplace, a standby generator - is 120 gallon territory. Add supplemental heating and you are looking at 250 gallons. A home that heats entirely with propane almost always lands on 500 gallons, because a tank that only needs filling a few times a season costs less to run than a small one filled monthly. Farms, kitchens and fleet yards buy 1,000 gallons and up for the same reason at larger scale: fewer, bigger deliveries at better per-gallon pricing.
Two other decisions ride along. Placement: above ground installs cheaper and is easier to inspect; underground keeps the yard clear but needs an engineered excavation and anodic protection. Certification: ASME vessels are built for permanent stationary installation, while DOT cylinders are the transportable class that suppliers can exchange - which one you need follows from whether the tank will ever move. Every tank we sell ships empty and is charged on site by a licensed propane supplier after a licensed installer sets it to NFPA 58 and your local code.
If two sizes both look right, take the larger: the installed cost difference is modest, and the reserve pays for itself in the first cold snap. Browse the full range on the products page, or tell our team what the tank will feed and we will size it with you.
