Re: [HVAC] Propane Price Patrol 2014/15

What other fees or charges are there in tank ownership? If you are switching companies with each fill what the n.a. are you responsible for? How long does a tank last and or does I t need to be certified as a ok by propane company before filing?

No fees or other charges. The carthodic bag and tank should be tested every few years ($99). Risk of failure and replacement is on the homeowner. I have read that properly installed tanks last typically 25-30 years.

Some propane companies do charge an inspection fee before they will deliver, so jumping company to company for each fill may be impractical. But you do have that choice.. With a leased tank you are a captive audience.
