Not sure what type of propane tank is right for your home? Look no further because AmeriGas is here to help! Propane tanks come in different shapes and sizes, which allows us to customize your tank to fit your needs.
All propane tanks fall with 3 main categories:
- Underground tanks
- Above ground tanks
- Vertical tanks
UNDERGROUND TANKS
Underground propane tanks are the perfect for preserving the aesthetics of your landscaping. In most cases, a propane tank can be easily installed underground with only a small dome showing. Since propane is environmentally safe, it poses no threat to the homeowner’s soil or water.
Advantages:
- Hidden from plain view
- Keeps your tank cool during warmer months
Disadvantages:
- More costly installation
ABOVE GROUND TANKS
In areas where the terrain prevents underground placement, above ground tank can be easily and discretely installed. By simply integrating the tank into the homeowners landscaping, above ground tanks can easily be masked by the natural environment.
Advantages:
- Inexpensive installation
- Faster installation
Disadvantages:
- More difficult to hide your tank
- Weather induced maintenance
VERTICAL TANKS
Vertical propane tanks, typically 120 gallon tanks, perfect for homeowners that need propane for cooking or their fireplace. Vertical tanks are safely and discretely installed right up against your home. These tanks should be installed at least three feet from any windows or doors, and at least 10 feet from any source of ignition.
Advantages:
- Easy to hide
- Installed up against your home
Disadvantages:
- Limited sizes available
