Should I buy or rent a tank?

Pros:

• You can buy propane from whichever supplier you want.
• You control your propane supply and delivery.



Cons:

• You’re responsible for all inspections, maintenance, and repair.
• You’re responsible for fixing defects or performance issues with regulators.
• You must purchase and maintain an external anode bag, which protects the tank from rust.
• You’ll owe property tax on the tank.
• The cost of your homeowner’s insurance may increase.
