Boehlke Bottled Gas makes having a propane tank easy and worry-free!

Are you currently considering getting a new propane tank? There are various reasons why you might be contemplating this decision.

When purchasing a new house, it’s important to consider the status of the propane tank. In some cases, the tank may have been leased by the previous owner. If you prefer to have the same company handle your gas delivery, you can enter into a contract with them for a propane tank lease. However, if you decide to switch propane delivery providers, you may encounter a challenge. Propane delivery companies will not fill a tank that is leased by another business.

Perhaps you have recently built an addition to your home or added space by finishing a sunroom or attic. These situations, along with if you have added gas appliances like a fireplace or range to your property, it will lead to an increased consumption of propane. As a result of these changes, you may need to consider a larger tank to meet the additional demand.

What are the benefits of leasing a propane tank?

Owning your own propane tank comes with a valuable advantage: the freedom to choose your propane delivery service. This flexibility allows you to switch providers effortlessly in case of poor service or exorbitant rates.

However, this freedom also entails a significant level of responsibility. When you own your own propane tank, you assume complete responsibility for its purchase, installation, and upkeep. This includes bearing the costs associated with maintenance, repairs, and safety inspections.

If your current propane tank is old, damaged, or no longer sufficient for your propane needs, choosing to invest in a new one comes with substantial upfront expenses. Purchasing and installing a new propane tank can amount to thousands of dollars, in addition to the previously mentioned costs incurred over the years.
