Understanding Propane Tank Leases
A perfectly-sized, safely-installed propane tank — plus extra peace of mind.
At Koppy’s Propane, we want to make your setup process as simple and stress-free as possible. We don’t want you to have to skip out on the efficiency and dependability of propane systems and appliances because of a potentially complex installation process.
Often, the sticking point for homeowners who want to install propane heating, hot water systems or other gas products is the prospect of selecting, installing and connecting a propane tank. What size is right for their home needs? How much will it cost to get it into place? Do they need permits?
We can handle the whole process for you with a convenient, low-cost tank lease.
What Is a Propane Tank Lease?
Leasing a propane tank is a simple, convenient alternative to owning one outright. Instead of purchasing a tank, you rent it from the same company that supplies your propane for a modest fee. Our team will guide you in selecting the proper tank size and manage the entire installation process. As long as you remain a customer, the propane provider takes care of the tank itself, including routine maintenance, repairs and replacement.
What Are the Advantages of Leasing a Tank?
Similar to leasing a vehicle, leasing a propane tank is often more cost-effective and helps reduce unexpected costs and service interruptions. Purchasing a propane tank can require an upfront investment of hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on the size you need. A well-established propane company like ours maintains an inventory of tank sizes and can help ensure you’re matched with the right one.
We also take care of installing, connecting, and safety-testing the tank. Our team fully handles ongoing maintenance, and we’re available if an emergency repair is ever needed. If you install additional propane appliances and require more storage, we can replace your tank with a larger size as well.
Are There Downsides to Leasing a Propane Tank?
While most Koppy’s Propane customers choose to lease a tank from us, there are some differences to consider when comparing leasing versus ownership.
The primary limitation of a leased tank is that it can only be filled by the company that owns it. If you decide to switch propane providers, you may face a termination fee and will likely need to have a new tank installed. Owning a tank allows you to shop around for propane suppliers, although companies typically require an inspection and proof of ownership before filling it.
