Bigger may not always be better and smaller may be inadequate. Let’s go over the tank sizes available at Lakes Gas so you have a better idea which one will work for your home.
120-gallon tank: This particular propane tank size is ideal for powering one or two small appliances, like a range or fireplace. Many customers favor the vertical design because it seamlessly blends into their yards, ensuring a less intrusive appearance. These tanks are installed aboveground.
250-gallon tank: If you depend on propane for a few appliances in your household, like a water heater, range, or space heater, this tank size will be suitable. However, if you rely on propane to heat your entire home, it will not be adequate. These tanks are installed aboveground.
500-gallon tank: If you use propane for home heating, this tank size is required. Even if you don’t use propane for heating, but have three or more propane appliances like a water heater, stove, fireplace, or clothes dryer, this tank size is necessary. It is also the appropriate tank size for a propane whole-house backup generator, capable of providing power to your home for approximately one week. These tanks are designed to be horizontal, which makes them shorter and wider, allowing for easy concealment with lattices, trellis, or plants. You have the option of choosing aboveground or underground installation.
1,000-gallon tank: These large tanks are commonly seen in commercial and industrial settings. However, if you have a spacious home and rely on propane for high-BTU appliances such as heating, pool and spa heating, cooking, or even fireplaces, then a tank of this size might be necessary. Both aboveground and underground installation are options for this tank.
Another benefit of being a Lakes Gas customer is our worry-free wireless propane tank monitor.
The Lakes Gas wireless propane tank monitor utilizes cutting-edge cellular and wireless technology, akin to that found in smartphones. This enables us to stay continuously informed, providing real-time updates on the propane level in your tank, 24/7. As soon as your propane tank gauge reaches a predetermined level, a notification is sent to Lakes Gas. Upon receiving the notification, we will promptly schedule a propane delivery to ensure uninterrupted service.
You will also receive a notification via the Lakes Gas app. Moreover, our app allows you to conveniently monitor your propane fuel levels from any device with an internet connection, including your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
