To buy or to rent? That is the question.
There are several disadvantages of owning your own propane tank that you may want to seriously consider. Afterall, your decision will affect your home life for quite some time!
So let’s explore some of the risks associated with buying a tank rather than renting.
It’s a Safety Issue
When it comes to pressured gas, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. A propane tank can prove dangerous if improperly handled.
The average homeowner probably can’t recognize the signs of a leak for example, which can prove to be a hazard. On top of that, a leak means lost propane!
Being a recognized customer of a company ensures you can rely on the rapid response of professionals should such a situation arise.
It’s All On You
It’s important to realize that owning your own tank means that liability shifts to you. If your tank has an undetectable problem and an accident occurs, you will be considered liable.
You also need to consider what you will do if you sell your property. You can take the unit with you, but that’s a tank sized hassle.
It Gets Expensive
Buying a tank is not cheap. Depending on the size of the tank, you may have to shell out as much as $2,000 on one. It’s a long term investment that can pay off. Just know the upfront cost turns many homeowners off.
