Sizes of propane tanks above and below the ground

Above ground propane tanks

Pinnacle Propane’s range of domestic above ground propane tank sizes includes options from 250 to 1000 gallons. Above ground storage tanks have the advantages of being less expensive, easier to install – all that’s needed is a concrete base - and to maintain. Although they’re more exposed to natural hazards and you may feel the size of residential propane tanks detracts from the appearance of your backyard, many feel the advantages outweigh this, especially when tank screening options are available. For commercial users, selecting the appropriate above ground propane tank size depends on several factors, such as business type and the number and size of appliances requiring propane power. For personalized commercial recommendations, we encourage you to get in touch with our sales team.

"My business Lone Star Kitchen gets deliveries weekly. My driver Mark always delivers without fail and makes me feel like a priority. I could get propane cheaper elsewhere, but Mark is the reason I have kept my account all these years. He has been outstanding and I’ve come to trust and rely on him to deliver week in and week out. This has allowed me to focus on my business instead of being concerned about deliveries.”

— Dan W, Fort Worth Texas

I have received nothing but exceptional service, they have answered all of my questions kindly and efficiently, I put my order in on a Monday and received it 2 days later on Wednesday. They are fast and very friendly people, I will recommend them to everyone I know!

Frequently asked questions

There are many different propane storage tank sizes for home and commercial use. As propane’s a liquid, it’s sold by liquid measure (gallon) or weight (pound). Pinnacle Propane’s residential propane tank sizes range from 150, 250, 500 and 1000 gallons. Commercial propane tank sizes are larger by request.

Most propane tanks are not stamped with their size. To measure height, set your propane tank on its bottom and measure from the bottom to the base of the tank's collar, the raised piece of metal surrounding the tank’s valve. Measure the diameter with a measuring tape at its widest point.

The propane tank size you’ll need depends on your home's size and the number of appliances relying on propane or your business needs. For homes under 2,500 sq ft with 2-3 appliances, a 250-gallon tank suffices, while a 500-gallon tank can effectively heat an entire house. For larger homes over 4,500 sq ft with multiple appliances, pools, or hot tubs, a 1000-gallon tank may be necessary. We offer 250 (small), 500 (medium), and 1000-gallon (large) tanks catering to diverse household needs.
