Benefits of a Standalone Propane Tank for Your Home

Having gas lines run to your home from your local service provider can be a huge headache. This is especially true if you are outside of the serviceable area or if no gas lines are running near your home already. A simple alternative is to invest in a propane tank of your own. Just give our team a call for your propane tank installation in Gainesville.

If you are interested in investing in gas appliances, our team can help you determine what size of tank you need based on your propane usage expectations. Then we will be there to help every step of the way with everything from maintenance to refilling your tank with a fresh source of propane when the time comes.

Save With Gas Appliances

Not all homes are eligible to receive gas service, depending on where they are located. If your home is too far away from the gas service provider or in an area that is not currently accessible, you may not be able to run gas lines to your home at all. If you’re interested in having gas appliances, your only other option is to invest in a standalone propane tank. 

Our team can visit your home to talk about your specific gas needs and expectations. This will help us determine what size of propane tank you need so that we can get you a long-term solution that will last for years to come. We can also assess your property to see where it is ideal to place the tank so that it has a sturdy and flat foundation. 

With a propane tank, you can invest in gas appliances like a gas heater, gas stove, and gas water heater. Gas is known to be a cheaper energy source compared to electricity for operating these same appliances. You can also save because fluctuations and gas costs will not impact you.

You don’t have to worry about your utility bill changing from month to month if the cost of natural gas increases. Once you pay to have your propane tank filled, that is that. Until it runs out, you don’t have any additional expenses to operate your gas appliances.

Better Results 

You’ll also enjoy better overall results. For example, a propane heater will warm up your home far quicker compared to an electric heater. This is because the combustion process that happens within a propane furnace is very efficient.

The same thing goes for other types of gas appliances. A propane water heater will heat up water more quickly using propane as a power source compared to electricity. This can reduce the turnaround time between using hot water and the tank refilling and reheating. If you have a tankless water heater, this can reduce the amount of time between when you turn on a hot water faucet and when the water actually gets hot.

Many homeowners also love the idea of cooking over an open flame as you do with a propane stove. An added benefit of having gas service is that some of these appliances will still operate even when you lose power due to a storm or other widespread outage.

You may still be able to cook with a gas stove as long as it doesn’t require any electricity. The same thing goes for a water heater or furnace, although many appliances still require some electricity for a portion of their operation.

Reliable Power Source

Having a propane tank means that you have a reliable source of power. As we already mentioned, as long as your propane tank has propane, you can use your gas appliances. Our team can also help you with refilling your tank when the time comes. 

You don’t have to worry about gas service being interrupted for any reason whatsoever. Of course, if you do run into any issues with your standalone propane tank, our team can visit your home in between refilling the tank to address any concerns that you have.
