If you use propane in your home, your fuel storage needs could be considerable — and non-negotiable. Dixon Energy customers depend on propane for home heating, hot water, cooking, drying clothes, powering standby generators and more. That means needing a secure, adequately-sized propane tank.
A home propane tank can be a considerable investment, both in terms of cost and its importance to your family’s comfort and safety. In this article, we’ll discuss the factors impacting this choice, whether a used tank is a viable option and the alternatives that Dixon Energy offers propane customers in Morris, Somerset, Union and southern Sussex Counties.
Whether you buy a new or used propane tank, you need to ensure that it is properly sized for your home’s needs. If the tank is too small, you will have to request propane deliveries constantly and risk a run-out. If it’s too big, you’ll end up having to dedicate more space than necessary on your property to accommodate it.
If you’re buying a used tank, you also need to have it inspected to ensure it’s safe to use in your home and not liable to leak.
Finally, if you’re considering an underground placement for your home’s propane tank, then you must ensure that the tank you buy can be installed underground.
Deciding between a new or used propane tank comes down to balancing cost, safety and long-term value. Both options can work, as long as you understand the tradeoffs.
