Propane Tank Leasing

Leasing a tank is often the most cost-effective, worry-free way to power your home.

Why Lease?

When you lease a tank from Brothers Propane, we own the tank, which means we are responsible for it.

Compare Upfront and Recurring Costs: Ask which charges apply to the proposed lease.
Confirm Maintenance Coverage: Review which components and work are included or excluded.
Understand Responsibilities: Get the equipment, fuel and account terms in writing.

Identify the tank owner and confirm the lease and permission to fill before arranging fuel with a different supplier.

Compare Leasing with Tank Ownership

Read the agreement, not just the headline benefit

Leasing can change the upfront purchase decision, but the written agreement determines the actual costs and responsibilities. Ask about recurring charges, minimum usage, fuel purchasing conditions, deposits if any and the length of the arrangement. A leased tank is not automatically a no-cost system.

Compare the complete lease proposal with tank purchase and installation. Include site work, fuel terms and future maintenance rather than comparing only an initial tank price. The tank category helps organize the size and installation questions separately from the contract.

Confirm ownership and permission before changing suppliers

Identify the tank owner from the agreement or account records before requesting a fill from another company. Discuss permission and contractual restrictions directly; do not assume a supplier can fill equipment it does not own. This is a contract and authorization question, not individualized legal advice.

If you have moved into a property with an existing tank, ask whether an agreement needs to be transferred or replaced. Let the supplier know if the prior occupant's records are unavailable. Do not remove ownership labels, disconnect piping or arrange tank removal yourself.

Clarify maintenance and what happens at the end

Ask which tank components are covered, how a fault is reported and whether appliance or customer-owned piping work is excluded. Fuel delivery and appliance repair are different services. If you smell gas, leave the area and follow the propane safety guidance rather than waiting for a routine maintenance appointment.

Before signing, discuss cancellation, sale of the property, tank pickup, remaining fuel and any removal or site-restoration charges. Review the 500-gallon tank planning page if that size is being proposed; it is not suitable merely because it is common. Use the service overview for delivery and other options.

To discuss your property, call (719) 660-6081. Confirm availability, the quoted scope and any applicable terms directly. The contact page also lists the existing email option and the details to have ready.

Compare Leasing with Tank Ownership: Questions

Does leasing mean maintenance is always free?

Only the agreement establishes what is covered. Ask about tank components, piping, appliances and any exclusions or charges. Do not assume all work on the propane system is included.

Can a lease transfer when a house is sold?

Ask the tank owner about transfer or replacement of the agreement. Confirm the account and equipment arrangements before the new occupant orders fuel.

What should I compare between lease and purchase?

Compare upfront and recurring costs, fuel purchasing conditions, maintenance responsibilities and exit terms. The least expensive initial option may not be the least expensive arrangement over time.

Who removes a leased tank at the end?

Confirm removal and site-restoration responsibilities with the owner under the agreement. Do not move the tank or disconnect the system yourself.
