Two Key Reasons to Lease – Not Buy – Your Propane Tank

Written on: August 6, 2018

If you’re thinking about buying a new or replacement propane tank for your Pennsylvania home, we have three words for you: Don’t do it (OK, maybe that’s three and a half words).
While owning your propane tank may give you flexibility in choosing a propane supplier, it comes at high cost compared to leasing.
Buying a propane tank is almost always a bad deal for you because:

• It’s a hassle. If you buy your propane tank, it’s your responsibility to keep the tank in compliance with all local, regional, and federal safety laws and codes. That maintenance takes time and require professional service that you will have to pay for (see reason two below).
• It’s expensive. The purchase cost of a 500-gallon tank alone can be more than $2,000 – and that does not include the regulator(s), blocks, or an anode bag (if needed). You’ll also need to provide replacement parts if you need them for repairs, professional service to keep your tank compliant, and, if you choose to bury your tank, you will pay for excavation and concrete pouring, too.

If you lease a tank from Ace-Robbins, we are responsible for all its routine maintenance and will take on the up-front costs on your tank. You’ll get FREE tank inspections and repairs, FREE upsizing if your propane needs change, and FREE maintenance. All you have to do is pay your monthly bill and enjoy your propane-powered home.
