Cost Breakdown & Inclusions

  1. The Tank: Our units are constructed from high-tensile steel and finished with a heat-reflective white or silver powder coat. This prevents pressure spikes during the summer months in hotter climates like Houston or Phoenix.
  2. The Regulator Kit: For 2026, we include a two-stage regulator system. This is crucial because it ensures a constant, low-pressure flow to your appliances regardless of how much gas is left in the tank or how cold it is outside in Montreal or Chicago.
  3. Delivery & Placement: We utilize a specialized crane truck (“boom truck”) to place the tank precisely on your prepared site.

The “City-Specific” Factor

While the tank price is consistent, local requirements can influence your final total:

  • In California (LA, San Diego): You may require earthquake seismic bracing, adding roughly $100–$200 to the labor.
  • In Florida (Miami, Tampa): Hurricane anchoring straps are often mandatory, adding about $150.
  • In Canada (Vancouver, Quebec City): Ensure your pad is rated for frost heave to prevent the tank from shifting during the thaw.
