Budget Propane Ontario offers a range of propane tanks and cylinders for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Whether you need a small portable cylinder or a large bulk storage tank, we have the perfect solution for your energy needs.
Perfect for smaller needs like fireplaces, water heaters, pool heaters, dryers, or kitchen ranges, making it ideal for cottages, workshops, or homes using propane for a few appliances.
Residential heating, hot water, and multiple appliances such as stoves, dryers, or fireplaces. It’s a good choice for medium-sized homes or cottages with moderate propane needs.
Ideal for whole-home heating, hot water, and multiple large appliances. It’s well-suited for larger homes, small businesses, or properties with higher year-round propane demand.
typically used for large homes, commercial buildings, farms, or industrial sites with high energy needs. It can support whole-home heating, multiple appliances, and large-scale equipment with fewer refills.
Designed for large-scale or industrial use, such as manufacturing facilities, farms, commercial properties, or multi-unit buildings. It’s ideal for operations with very high propane demand, providing reliable fuel supply with minimal refills.
Budget Propane’s cylinder shed offers convenient refills for portable propane tanks of various sizes. These cylinders are most commonly used for barbecues, patio heaters, outdoor fire pits, campers, RVs, and other small propane-powered appliances, making them a reliable fuel source for outdoor living and recreation.
Installing a propane tank requires careful planning to ensure safety, efficiency, and easy access for deliveries. This will help you learn what to consider when choosing the right location, tank size, and setup for your home, cottage, or business.
Perfect for intermittent use like fireplaces, water heaters, or pool heaters, these compact tanks can sit close to your building. Must be installed at least 3 ft away from building openings (doors, windows, exhaust vents) for safety. Keep a minimum of 10 ft clearance from any ignition sources (generators, pool heaters, air conditioners) and any mechanical air intakes like HRVs. Always place on a firm, level base—gravel or a concrete pad works best; Budget will supply pads if needed.
Ideal for homes using propane as a main heat source—these larger-capacity tanks reduce delivery frequency, even through harsh winters. Must be installed at least 10 ft from buildings, property lines, and all ignition sources. Ensure that delivery trucks can safely back up to the tank—maximum 100 ft from the delivery point in winter conditions. Must be on solid ground—level, with a gravel or concrete base.
Built for industrial, agricultural, or large commercial propane needs, this tank holds the highest capacity and requires careful planning. Must be installed at least 25 ft from buildings, property lines, and ignition sources due to its size and storage volume. Requires a solid, reinforced base such as a concrete pad to ensure stability. Adequate road and delivery access is essential since bulk propane trucks need more clearance for safe refills. Because of the size, site preparation often involves grading and ensuring the area is free of overhead obstructions (like tree branches or power lines). A professional site assessment is mandatory to confirm code compliance and long-term safety.
These apply to all tank types and ensure seamless, safe installation. Gas lines must be buried at least 18 inches below grade, and there must be at least 1 ft separation if propane and hydro lines share a trench. Clear access paths for delivery trucks are crucial—especially in winter. Keep the area free of snow, debris, or obstacles. Expect a smooth installation process: technicians will place and level the tank (possibly using a crane if needed), connect and test the gas line, perform leak and safety inspections, fill the tank, and give a full orientation. Be present during installation, if possible. The technician will go over how to read tank levels, safety features, and answer any questions.
Choosing the right propane tank is key to ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient energy for your home, cottage, farm, or business.
