Should I Buy or Lease My Propane Tank?

One of the most important decisions you will have to make as a new propane customer is whether to lease or buy your propane tank. The answer to that question depends on several factors that you will have to weigh before making your decision.

Let’s take a look at pros and cons of owning and leasing your propane tank:

Owning a Propane Storage Tank

Pros
When you own your own propane tank:

• You control who supplies your propane
• You can choose a tank from any manufacturer

Cons

Leasing a Propane Storage Tank

Pros
When you lease a propane tank:

• Your supplier will typically install and maintain the tank, covering all routine upkeep costs.
• In some cases, you will get preferred propane rates or coverage benefits that are not available to customers who own their tank.

Cons

• When you lease your tank, it ultimately belongs to your supplier.
• Changing suppliers often involves a termination fee.

Leasing Is a Smart, Affordable Choice!

Generally speaking, the disadvantages of owning your propane tank far outweigh the benefits.
When you own your propane tank, you’ll have to pay for a professional to install and maintain it so it’s up to code, anyway—plus, you’ll have to pay for any replacement parts and repairs that come up. Why go through that hassle? Sign up for a three-year tank lease today and get the first year on us!
