More About Propane Underground Tanks
With today’s technology, propane tanks are being installed underground, and that’s making many homeowners very happy. Once installed, the only visible part of the tank is a small dome for refilling, testing, and servicing. More and more, new neighborhood and subdivision rules are requiring that all utilities are buried, and not just for aesthetic reasons. Underground propane tanks are an excellent, low-profile solution for storing cost-efficient energy.
Typical horizontal ASME tanks range from 120 to 1000 gallons in size. Single-family homes are served by various propane tank sizes depending on their annual usage. A home with single-appliance usage could benefit from a 250-gallon tank. However, a 1000-gallon tank would be best suited for a very large home with all gas appliances. Most often, a 500-gallon tank is sufficient for an average home.
Home building luxury homes, vacation or rental properties, multi family homes, and entire developments are just some of the places you’ll find underground tanks. The buried tanks are installed near the home and connected with underground piping. They can be installed anywhere on your property as long as they can be reached by our delivery trucks. Other factors, such as building and/or safety codes, accessibility, and preference must also be considered. Because our tanks are constructed of heavy steel and given a coating of special paint which prevents corrosion, your propane tank is maintenance-free and has a average lifespan of 30 to 40 years.
