Propane Tank - sizing and rent vs own
Hi Folks,
I’m building a 3 level 2300 sf house on the ocean. It will be heated by Navien Propane Combi- Boiler (boiler and tankless hot water), and 2 heat pumps.
Basement in floor hot water heat. Other 2 floors water baseboard and 2 heat pumps.
There will be propane dryer, stovetop,fireplace,bbq,and generator.
I’m told I will require at least 3 -120 gallon tanks or one 500 gallon submarine tank.
There are lots of qualifiers re the larger tank property placement re distance from driveway/parking lot,property line etc. it will also require an underground line which does not cross a driveway. I may be missing other requirements.
Can anyone comment on going with the 500 vs 3 smaller tanks ? Pros and Cons.
Also - I was never one to rent appliances,hot water heaters and the like. I understand it’s the norm with propane tanks. I haven’t reviewed costing yet but I normally would prefer to buy, I understand that maintenance in the rental is the company’s responsibility- other than that can you weigh in on pros and cons of renting vs own.
