If you’re considering installing a propane tank or would simply like to better understand how your existing system works, here are answers to some of the most common propane tank questions.
Both options have advantages. Owning a tank gives you full control and no ongoing lease payments, while leasing can lower up-front costs and shift maintenance responsibilities to the provider.
At France Propane, we offer affordable tank leasing where our team handles everything—installation, upkeep, and replacement—so you don’t need to worry about anything. We also sell tanks, giving you the freedom to choose whichever option is best for you and your household.
Which propane tank size is right for your home depends on how many propane appliances you have, whether you use propane for heat, and whether you expect your propane needs to increase in the near future.
Whatever size propane tank is right for your home, France Propane carries it. We carry propane tanks for your home in a range of sizes, from 100 gallons (ideal for a home with only one propane appliance) to 1,000 gallons (which can handle heating a large property). Our staff will help you select the precise size you need based on your usage.
A good installation is critical for safety and performance. France Propane’s installation process includes selecting the optimal location, adding cement supports and setting the tank, connecting high-pressure and low-pressure regulators and gas supply lines to your house, and conducting a full gas safety check before your first delivery of propane. We also provide this check on the first fill for homeowner-owned tanks to ensure everything is running smoothly. Your safety is our priority.
Nobody likes being caught off guard with an empty tank. France Propane employs the latest smart technology to ensure that our team and our customers always know their fuel levels. Our propane tank monitors use wireless and cellular technology to transmit real-time info on how much propane you have. You can check your tank levels yourself from any mobile device, and our team also has access to your propane levels and will know when it’s time for a refill.
If you have a portable propane cylinder for your grill or RV, France Propane can refill it during business hours. We also inspect tanks for safety and requalify them if needed, so you avoid unfair markups from third-party exchanges.
When properly installed, maintained, and periodically inspected, propane tanks are very safe. France Propane emphasizes safety checks before initial fills and after installations, whether the tank is leased or owned. Always ensure regulators are in good shape, watch for signs of corrosion, and never tamper with the system yourself.
