If you’re making the switch to propane or upgrading your current setup, installing a new tank is a key step. At Big Sky Propane, we make the process smooth, safe, and stress-free. Whether you’re heating your home, fueling appliances, or running a business, here’s what you can expect from a professional tank installation.
On-Site Evaluation
Every great installation starts with a proper plan. We begin by visiting your property to:
-
Evaluate the best and safest location for the tank
-
Ensure all local and state code requirements are met
-
Review clearance distances from buildings, ignition sources, and property lines
-
Confirm accessibility for future deliveries and maintenance
Our experts will work with you to choose the ideal setup for your space—whether that means an above-ground or underground tank.
Choosing the Right Tank Size
No two properties have the same propane needs. During our consultation, we’ll help you select a tank that suits your:
-
Square footage
-
Appliance load (heating, hot water, stoves, generators, etc.)
-
Seasonal or year-round usage
Common tank sizes include:
-
120-gallon – for smaller appliance needs
-
250-gallon – for moderate home use
-
500-gallon – most popular for whole-home heating
-
1,000-gallon – ideal for large homes or commercial operations
