Our Propane Tank Installation Process

From Site Evaluation to First Fill

We take care of everything needed to install your propane tank safely and efficiently. Our process ensures compliance with NFPA 58 propane safety codes, local permitting requirements, and manufacturer specifications.

Step-by-Step Installation:

Step 1 – Site Inspection

We assess your property layout and determine proper tank placement and setback distances.

Step 2 – Permitting & Scheduling

We handle local permit applications and schedule excavation or pad installation as needed.

Step 3 – Tank Placement

Our team safely delivers and positions the tank—either above-ground on a concrete pad or underground in a trench with proper backfill.

Step 4 – Gas Line Installation

We install new propane lines and regulators to connect your tank to furnaces, appliances, and standby generators.

Step 5 – Pressure & Leak Testing

Before your system is activated, we test the tank and lines for leaks and confirm regulator settings.

Step 6 – System Purge & Appliance Start-Up

We purge air from the lines, light pilots, and ensure appliances are running safely and efficiently.

Step 7 – Initial Fill & Delivery Setup

We perform the first propane fill and, if you choose, enroll you in automatic delivery and tank monitoring.

You'll receive documentation for tank placement, system testing, and safety compliance—all handled by our experienced, certified technicians.

Tank Sizes We Install

Propane Storage for Every Household

Choosing the right tank size depends on your home's heating load and propane usage. Whether you need a small tank for cooking and hot water or a large underground tank for whole-home heating, we have the right option.

Common Residential Propane Tank Sizes:

  • 120-gallon – Ideal for single appliances like water heaters or fireplaces
  • 250-gallon – Suitable for 2–3 propane appliances (stove, dryer, water heater)
  • 500-gallon – Best for whole-home heating and multiple propane systems
  • 1,000-gallon – Used for large homes or properties with heavy usage (heating, pool heaters, generators)

We'll help you size your tank based on your home's square footage, number of appliances, and expected winter fuel usage.

Underground Propane Tank Installation

Clean Look, Long-Term Reliability

Underground tanks are a great option for homeowners who want the performance of a large tank without disrupting the landscape. These tanks are buried below grade, with only a small dome exposed for refills and maintenance.

Features of Underground Tanks:

  • Visually unobtrusive
  • Safer from weather damage and tampering
  • Designed with anode bag cathodic protection
  • Require trenching and backfill installation

We'll excavate, set, and backfill the tank per manufacturer and code specs, then ensure your yard is restored as part of our final cleanup.

Above-Ground Propane Tank Installation

Fast Setup, Easy Access

Above-ground propane tanks offer fast installation and lower upfront cost. We install tanks on concrete pads or solid bases and position them in accordance with NFPA setback regulations to ensure safe clearance from structures, ignition sources, and property lines.

Advantages of Above-Ground Tanks:

  • Cost-effective installation
  • Easier access for delivery and inspection
  • Available in a wide range of sizes
  • Shorter install time and minimal site prep

They're a practical option for most residential lots—and are fully compatible with automatic delivery and tank monitoring systems.

Switching from Another Propane Provider?

We'll Handle the Transition

If you're looking to leave your current supplier, X-Press Energy can help you make the switch with no service gap or installation delays. We'll coordinate the removal of the old tank (if leased), install your new tank, and set you up with delivery and pricing options that work for your household.

Our Switch-Out Service Includes:

  • Old tank disconnection and return coordination
  • New tank sizing and installation
  • Gas line inspection and reconnection
  • First propane fill and delivery enrollment
  • Safety testing and documentation

We make it simple to take control of your fuel supply—and save more with a local team you can trust.

Propane Tank Monitoring Systems

Smarter Fuel Management Starts Here

Want to know your fuel levels without leaving the house? We offer wireless tank monitoring systems that pair with mobile apps or desktop dashboards to provide real-time fuel data.

Features of Our Monitors:

  • Monitor propane levels 24/7
  • Get low-fuel alerts before you run out
  • Improve delivery timing and reduce waste
  • Integrate with automatic delivery scheduling
  • Works for both above-ground and underground tanks

It's the easiest way to ensure your tank is never running on empty—especially for vacation homes, rental properties, or larger households.
