Two Key Reasons to Lease Your Propane Tank

If you’re a new propane customer – or plan to become one soon – one of the most important choices you’ll have to make is whether to buy or lease/rent your propane tank from your supplier.

We’ll save you some time and cut to the chase on this one: For most homeowners, leasing is the better option.

While buying your own propane tank may give you some flexibility in choosing a propane supplier, leasing provides several significant advantages for you in both the short and long run.

When you lease a propane tank, you get these two big benefits:

• Lifetime maintenance. Propane tanks require ongoing maintenance and inspections from a certified professional to keep them in compliance with all local, regional, and federal safety laws and codes. When you lease your propane tank, your supplier generally absorbs those costs and takes care of any maintenance required to keep your tank running safely.
• Most costs are included. The purchase cost of a 500-gallon tank can be several thousand dollars – and that doesn’t include installation, connection to your appliances, or excavation and concrete pouring (if needed). When you lease, on the other hand, your supplier will cover most of those expenses. As we mention above, you’ll also need to pay for replacement parts if you need them for repairs, professional service to keep your tank compliant. When you lease a tank, most of those expenses are covered by your supplier.
