The team at Walton’s has the expertise and training needed to ensure that your home is equipped with the right size of propane tank, installed properly and safely. Here are some of the factors we will take into consideration:
The square footage of your home
The number and type of propane appliances you have in your home, such as a furnace, water heater, cooktop/stove or clothes dryer
The total Btu requirements of all your propane appliances
Walton’s will also handle:
Site selection. Choosing the right location for your tank is important for safety, ease of use and aesthetics. We’ll make sure your above-ground tank is on flat ground and there’s plenty of space around it, especially for venting above and sufficient clearance from anything combustible.
Connecting the tank to appliances. Installing piping from the tank to your house demands meticulous attention to detail and precision. Every appliance must be equipped with a regulator, and our installation team must perform a safety leak test on the entire piping system prior to operation.
Depending on the size of your propane tank, you can choose whether you want an above-ground propane tank or an underground propane tank. There are pros and cons for each, which we will be glad to review with you.
Propane Tank Sizes For Northern, PA
Propane tanks come in a wide range of sizes. Here is a brief overview:
20-, 30-, 40- or 100-pound cylinders. This tank style is generally used for gas grills, portable heaters, cooking stoves, RVs, and other uses. Note: one gallon of liquid propane weighs about 4.25 lbs.
100- to 200-pound tanks. These are used to fuel some appliances in the home.
