Tank Information
Not sure what size tank you need? There are many factors that help to determine the correct size tank for your needs, such as how many BTU you are using, square footage of your house, quality of the insulation, and number of appliances that use propane, just to name a few.
When you become a customer of U.P. Propane, we provide you with one of our tanks at no charge. We will come to your residence and install our tank at no cost to you. If you'd rather, we also sell new and refurbished tanks in all of the sizes here. If you'd prefer to own your own tank, we'd be happy to sell you one.
20# Tanks
Ah, what would summer be without cooking on the grill? Whether it's for your grill, your deer blind, your ice shack, or anything else, we'll fill your tank on the spot, no waiting!.
We also have 20# tank exchange centers around the community where you can exchange your empty tank for a full one. If you are a local business that is interested in having an exchange at your location, give us a call and we'll see what we can do for you.
100# Cylinders
100# Cylinders are most common for temporary usage situations, especially at hunting camps. These cylinders come equipped with an automatic switch over regulator. This means that when one tank is empty, it automatically switches to the other tank, and an indicator tells you that the tank is empty and needs replacing. Cylinders can be exchanged or filled at our office, or they can delivered to your desired location.
