Selecting Propane Tank Size

At Sequoia Gas Co. we will work with you to determine the optimal tank size for your home and family. Several things go into tank size selection. These variables include but are not limited to:

• Total square footage of the home
• Propane appliances installed in the home
• Geographical location - smaller homes in colder climates will use larger
   propane tanks
• Total BTU load (BTU's of all installed propane appliances)

Why Propane?
It slashes energy costs!  Propane appliances are far more efficient than their electric counterparts.
        
It's clean energy!   Using propane appliances can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 68 percent compared with their electric counterparts.

It supports today's lifestyle! Propane provides homeowners with the modern amenities they want, including on-demand hot water and energy for outdoor living spaces.

Tank Gauge Reading

The numbers on your gauge tell you the percentage of gas remaining in your tank. The gauge to the left, for example, shows a tank that has 35% of remaining propane and is based on the total amount it can hold. TO FIND OUT HOW MANY GALLONS YOU HAVE LEFT, simply multiply the percentage on your gauge by your tank size. For our example above, that would be .35 X 250 = 87.5 gallons remaining. Make sure you know your tank size (150, 250, 500, etc. gallons).
