Are you building a new home that will be propane powered, or are you switching your current home to propane power? Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start. If you are trying to determine how big of a propane tank you’re going to need, you’ve come to the right place. Check out these helpful tips!
What Are You Using It For?
Tanks for homes generally range between 100 and 1000 gallons.
The first thing to consider is the purpose of your propane tank. Will you be using it to fuel your entire home for heat? Or will it simply be a supplemental source of energy on a single appliance. The more dependent your home will be on the propane, the bigger your tank will need to be. For homes, you can typically choose between 100 and 100 gallon sizes.
How Large Is Your Home?
If you are using the tank to heat your home, you will need to choose a tank that can handle the right amount of space. As a general rule, a home that in 2200 square feet will likely use between 1200 to 1500 gallons of propane in a year, assuming the cold season is rather mild.
How Many Appliances Need Fuel?
If you are also using your tank to fuel appliances in your home, you will need to know which ones and how many to accurately choose a tank size. If you will be relying solely on propane, be sure to get energy efficient appliances, so you can get the most out of your power source.
