When you add propane service to your home, one of the first steps is identifying how much fuel storage you need to accommodate the gas systems and appliances in your home.

If you choose too large of a propane tank, it could end up taking up too much space outside your home. Too small of a tank could mean you constantly need to reach out to Mirabito for propane deliveries. The goal is to select a propane tank that matches your family’s specific fuel needs.

In the Updstate New York, Western Massachusetts and parts of Pennsylvania, and Vermont, homeowners trust Mirabito Energy Products for top-tier propane tank services, including leasing and installation. In this article, we’ll give you a rundown of how we help you select the perfect propane home tank.

How We Size a Home Propane Tank

When we visit a new customer’s home to determine the appropriate propane tank size, we consider several factors. These include the number of propane systems and appliances in the home, the square footage of the property, the family’s size and heating preferences, the quality of the home’s insulation and the age and efficiency of the gas equipment. All these elements play a role in selecting the tank size.

Propane Tank Sizes for Residential Customers

Mirabito customers have access to a range of home propane tank sizes. Here’s a list of the tank sizes we carry and the functions they typically fulfill:

Propane Tank Size Typical Residential Role

Home Propane Tank Placement

The Mirabito team takes several factors into account when setting and installing your propane tank. These tanks are situated outdoors, and we always follow National Fire Protection Association guidelines for safe placement. We’ll lay concrete slabs to ensure a level, stable and dry base for the tank. We also work to minimize the length of the gas lines on your property, which connect the tank to your home. Finally, our technicians work hard to place your tank in a discreet, unobtrusive location.
