Propane can be a cost-friendly way to heat your home. But which is better: underground or above ground propane tank installation? Also, what can you expect from the installation process?
Evaluate Your Options
The first step in determining what type of propane tank installation is best involves evaluating your heating needs. What size propane tank does your technician recommend? How much space does your yard have for a propane tank with your current layout and landscaping? What does your propane tank installation budget look like?
While you might not know the answers to all these questions just yet, thinking about them can help get you headed in the right direction. Knowing the size of your home can help you determine what size tank you may need and thinking about how you’ll refuel your propane tank will ensure you don’t try to place it somewhere difficult to reach.
Underground vs. Above Ground Tanks
Underground propane tank installation is typically a bit more expensive but offers larger tank options and greater durability. Underground tanks are also much less noticeable than their above ground counterparts. If you’re considering above ground propane tank installation, you should check your HOA’s rules to make sure they are allowed, since some homeowners consider them to be unsightly. However, they are less expensive, faster to install, and easier to maintain and relocate if necessary.
