Dixon Energy provides propane service to countless homes across Northern New Jersey every year. Homeowners throughout Morris, Union, Somerset and southern Sussex counties love the efficiency and dependability of propane equipment, which powers everything from water heaters and furnaces to gas logs, dryers and stoves.
However, some customers express concern about the appearance of their outdoor propane tanks. Fortunately, our team works hard to discreetly place tanks in a way that minimizes their impact on your home’s aesthetics. Still, we know some homeowners might ask, “Can I paint my propane tank to make it blend in better?”
The answer isn’t as simple as a yes or no — it depends on whether you own or lease your tank. Here’s everything you need to know about safely and correctly sprucing up your home’s propane tank.
If your tank belongs to Dixon Energy (or another propane company), we do not recommend attempting to paint it yourself. Altering the tank could void your lease agreement. Additionally, our team is responsible for maintaining leased tanks, handling wear and tear and ensuring they remain safe and functional.
If you’ve noticed excessive rust or significant discoloration on a leased tank, reach out to us! We’ll address the issue and, if necessary, replace the tank for you.
You can paint a tank that you own, as long as you follow important safety guidelines. Painting can improve the tank’s appearance and even help protect it from environmental wear and tear.
For customers who own their propane tanks, painting can be a great option to both enhance its appearance and extend its lifespan. However, it’s essential to proceed with caution. Keep these guidelines in mind to ensure your propane tank remains safe and compliant with regulations:
Not sure about what paint to use or how to apply it? Reach out to your propane provider for advice, or consider leaving the job to a professional painting service.
