Choosing a Propane Tank

Picking the Right Size

Propane is an extremely versatile fuel. There’s so much it can do in and around your Connecticut home. It can heat your pool and your home. It can cook your food and dry your clothes. Propane is also extremely efficient, so you get a lot for every dollar spent. During financially uncertain times like this, value like that is even more important.

Considering how versatile and cost-effective a fuel propane is, you might be looking for ways to have it do more in and around your Connecticut home. Perhaps you’d like to add some additional propane appliances like a cooking range, clothes dryer, or fireplace and you need a propane tank with a bigger capacity to handle all that. Or maybe you’re building a home and want to use propane for whole house heating, water heating, cooking, et cetera. Or maybe you’re looking to convert your current home to propane.

If you’re facing any of the above scenarios, chances are you’re in the market for a new propane tank. It’s important to choose the right one for your household’s needs. The experts at Hocon can make sure you get the right size propane tank and will ensure prompt delivery and installation.

Quality Matters

Hocon sells and installs propane tanks that are made to last for decades. We offer both aboveground and underground tanks made of heavy gauge steel that are specially coated to prevent corrosion.

Size Matters

Hocon sells propane tanks in a wide range of sizes. Which size is right for your Connecticut home depends on a few factors. Smaller tanks can fuel several appliances. Larger tanks can provide whole house heating and run appliances. They can even provide the fuel to heat your pool.

Not sure which size is right for you? The experts at Hocon can help. We can also help you decide whether it’s better to purchase or lease your tank.

• 20-pound, 30-pound, 40-pound, and 100-pound cylinders: These are small and portable tanks that generally get used for grills, heaters, cooking stoves, and RVs. Hocon offers tank refills for your 20-pound propane tanks. We also offer a GAS ON THE GO service where we’ll deliver grill tanks to you.
• 120-gallon, 150-gallon, and 250-gallon propane tanks: Tanks of this size are appropriate for homes that use a lot of propane for appliances like stoves, clothes dryers, water heaters, space heaters, generators, and fireplaces. However, these sizes are not large enough to support whole house heating.
• 325-gallon and 500-gallon propane tanks: These are the most common sizes chosen for homes that use propane for whole house heating. They are appropriate for households that use 100 to 200 gallons of propane per month.
• 1,000-gallon propane tanks: Tanks of this size are generally used for commercial or industrial applications. However, if you have a particularly large home or estate that supports a variety of propane appliances, this might be the right size for you.
