Many home & business owners have decided to go underground since in the end, all that’s visible is the short dome lid which can easily be incorporated into the landscape. Common tank sizes are available in a wide range from small 120 gallon to multiple 1000 gal tank capacity for larger commercial usage with minimal visual intrusion. The average home heating customer does fine with a 500 gallon tank.
Underground propane tanks are environmentally friendly and free of EPA & DEC / DEP regulations like fuel oil tanks. CES has been the region’s leader with the safe installation and on-going maintenance program that ensures the buried tanks lasts for decades. Each tank is cathodically protected with a two part epoxy coating, carefully buried in sand or loose dirt and to minimize corrosion and sacrificial magnesium anode bags are attached to the steel. These anodes deteriorate over time instead of the tank. With a CES leased tank, each tank & anode system are checked annually with an electric potential meter. If an anode is shown to be weak, allowing the tank to deteriorate, we will install new anodes at no cost to you. With proper maintenance, a buried tank should last 40+ years with no aggravation. In the unlikely event of a leak, there’s no environmental threat to your water or soil like fuel oil.
