Is there a way to have propane service without the "tank"? Love propane, but hate the tank in your yard? Wilson Gas can bury it! Environmentally safe underground propane tanks provide homeowners with an option to having the tank sitting in the open. Propane tanks are constructed of heavy steel and are specially painted with a mastic coating to prevent corrosion. Environmentally friendly and requiring no maintenance, a propane tank will typically last for 30 to 40 years. Once the tank is buried only a small dome will be visible above the ground. The dome houses valves, gauges, and regulators, allowing for easy servicing and refilling. Even large-capacity tanks can be installed with minimal visual intrusion, yet still providing the clean, efficient comfort of propane. Can I really save money by using propane? When it comes to saving money and the environment, converting to propane is a great choice. Using propane can reduce overall household energy bills by 40% and a single tank-less water heater can avert 1,470 pounds of carbon dioxide - the equivalent of taking a standard passenger car off the road for seven weeks. Propane provides significant cost savings heating water versus electricity. Conventional propane water heaters save 30% versus electric and tank-less models save as much as 60%. Also, when outdoor temperatures drop below freezing, a heat pump has to use an electric resistance heater as a backup, which is a very inefficient way to heat a home. Propane doesn’t need electricity to operate, so it’s a great backup fuel for power outages.

Affordability On average, propane costs about half as much per BTU as electricity. Control During a power outage you are in control of your energy source. With propane you will have heat, hot water and hot food. Comfortable Heat A propane heating system supplies warm air at a comfortable 120°F, compared to electric heat pumps that dispense cool air at 95°F. Always Available Convenient and portable, propane is an energy source that can be located virtually anywhere, from the country to the city. Earth Friendly Propane is insoluble in water so it presents minimal risk to soil or ground water supplies. The placement of propane tanks either above or below ground is not regulated by the EPA. |
Environmentally Responsible Propane is an approved, alternative clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act. It creates far less pollution than the power plants supplying you with electricity, so you help protect the environment by providing cleaner, more breathable air. Safety Propane equipment and appliances are manufactured to rigorous safety standards. Moreover, propane (LP Gas) has a narrow range of flammability when compared with other petroleum products. Propane won't ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches at least 940º Fahrenheit. In contrast, gasoline will ignite when the source of ignition reaches only 430º to 500º Fahrenheit. Additionally, if liquid propane leaks, it doesn't puddle but instead vaporizes and dissipates into the air. |
