When installing a propane storage tank, the contractor
must consider proper tank sizing, safety, efficiency, ground
characteristics and aesthetics. For a residential customer,
the size may range from 100-1,000 gallons, depending on
household use. Typically, a 500 gallon tank is ample for an
average four-bedroom home. However, it is best to consult
your local propane supplier to ensure the proper sizing for
propane storage requirements. Determining the correct tank
size for each household is a function of demand, economy,
efficiency and convenience. It is a process that requires
cooperation between the propane supplier and customer.
