Annual Tank Usage Fees

We understand that no one wants to pay tank rent. We would like to avoid charging it whenever possible. Our goal is to help customers select the appropriate tank size for their propane usage. If a customer purchases the full capacity of their tank in a 12 month period (May – April), they can avoid our tank usage fee. For customers who do not meet this minimum purchase amount, we usually send out tank usage fees of $70-150 in June of each year, fees vary depending on tank size. We publish a rate sheet at our front counter area in the office.

Customer Owned Tanks

One way to avoid the Tank Usage Fee is to own your propane tank. We also offer a discounted price per gallon for any customer who owns their tank. If you purchase a propane tank from us, we will be happy to provide a bill of sale and help with any maintenance on the tank going forward. If a customer wants a tank for a generator, for example, where the propane usage may be low, we highly encourage that customer to purchase the tank to avoid the annual tank usage fee.

Underground Propane Tanks For Sale

We also offer underground propane tanks for sale to customers. We try and stock various sizes of the underground tanks, however, it is best to plan six months ahead to ensure we will have the exact size ready for you. We can offer a turnkey quote to install an underground tank, complete with a dome and lid, anode bags, gas line, tracer wire and all accessories needed for safe and reliable propane supply.
