Leasing vs. owning your propane tank

One of the first decisions a homeowner faces when switching to propane is whether to buy or lease the tank. While ownership grants you total control, leasing through a reputable provider presents a more cost-effective and stress-free solution for the majority of residential customers.

• Lower up-front costs: Purchasing a new propane tank can be a significant financial investment, often costing thousands of dollars, depending on the size (120-gallon to 1,000-gallon tanks are typical for residential use) and installation requirements. When you choose to lease, the initial expense is drastically reduced. We handle the heavy lifting, allowing you to allocate those funds elsewhere.
• Professional maintenance and safety: When you own a tank, the liability for its maintenance rests squarely on your shoulders. You are responsible for making sure it meets safety codes, remains rust-free and passes recertification inspections, that with a lease agreement, AD handles everything. If the tank needs maintenance due to normal wear and tear, our expert team handles it. Your system remains safe and compliant without unexpected repair bills.
• Flexible sizing: Home needs change over time. You might add a heated pool, install a standby generator or expand your living space. If you own your tank, upgrading to a larger size involves selling the old unit and buying a new one. Leasing offers the flexibility to swap tank sizes as your energy demands evolve, ensuring that your system always matches your lifestyle.
• Underground Tanks: Tired of a tank being an eye sore and taking up space? Call for pricing and availability of underground tanks.

How wireless propane tank monitors give you peace of mind

Gone are the days of trudging out to the backyard in the rain to check a gauge or, worse, waking up to a cold house because the tank ran dry unexpectedly. Modern technology has introduced the wireless propane tank monitor—a game changer for efficient home management.

A tank monitor is a small smart device attached directly to your propane tank. It uses cellular or radio frequency technology to transmit fuel level data to our central dispatch system and, conveniently, to an app on your smartphone. It functions similarly to a smart thermostat but for your fuel supply.

Here’s why wireless propane tank monitoring is a great idea:

• Prevent run-outs: The primary advantage is reliability. The system alerts both you and our delivery team when levels get low, and a refill is scheduled long before you run out of fuel.
• Remote management: For homeowners who travel frequently or manage a second property, a monitor provides information 24 hours a day. You can check your fuel levels from anywhere in the world.
• Data-driven efficiency: By tracking usage patterns, you can better understand your energy consumption during different seasons, helping you budget more accurately.
