Propane is delivered as a liquid and your propane tank is equipped with a system of valves and regulators that convert liquid propane to gas and move it to the appliances in your home. Avenir Energy can provide a wide range of propane tank sizes to meet the energy needs of your home or business. The size and number of tanks depends on several factors, such as the BTU load of your appliances, usage, delivery frequency, property spacing and local regulations. We can help determine the best size and right location for your tank, and our installations adhere to all local and national regulations and codes.
