Frequently Asked Questions
The size of the propane tank you need depends on your household’s propane usage and the number of appliances you intend to fuel. Generally, for small residential properties with minimal propane usage, a 100-gallon tank may suffice. Larger households with higher propane demands may require 250-gallon, 500-gallon, or even 1000-gallon tanks.
Propane tanks should adhere to specific safety guidelines concerning their distance from buildings. For residential installations, the distance typically ranges from 5 to 10 feet away from any structure, including your home, garages, sheds, and property lines. Local codes and regulations may dictate specific requirements. An Appomattox Propane Services Technician can provide you with details upon inspection of your property.
The requirement for permits can vary depending on your location and local building codes. In many areas, you will likely need to obtain permits before installing a propane tank. We can assist you in navigating the permit process and ensuring compliance with all necessary regulations.
It is highly recommended to hire a professional propane tank installer for safety reasons. Propane tank installation requires expertise in handling gas lines, ensuring proper connections, and adhering to safety codes. We are trained to handle these tasks safely and we’ll ensure that the installation meets all necessary standards.
Propane tanks should undergo regular inspections to ensure their safe operation. Industry guidelines often recommend a visual inspection of the tank every few months, checking for signs of damage, rust, or leaks. Additionally, a more comprehensive inspection conducted by one of our qualified technicians should be performed every five years to examine the tank’s interior and perform any necessary maintenance.
Yes, underground propane tank installations are possible, but they come with specific requirements and regulations. Underground tanks often require more extensive excavation and may have different distance requirements from structures compared to above-ground tanks. We will work with you to ensure proper installation and adherence to safety guidelines.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and safety of your propane tank. Some basic maintenance steps include checking for leaks, inspecting the tank and its fittings, and ensuring the area around the tank is clear of debris or flammable materials. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and have one of our qualified technicians perform periodic inspections to identify and address any potential issues promptly.
