PROPANE • TANK LEASING
Leasing a propane tank means no big equipment to buy and less to worry about — we own, install, and maintain it. Not sure whether leasing or buying is right for you? We’ll walk you through the honest pros and cons of both and help you decide.
Most homeowners don’t really want to own a propane tank — they want what propane provides: heat, hot water, cooking, a cozy fireplace. With a leased tank you skip the large equipment purchase, and we stay responsible for the tank. You use the propane; we take care of the equipment.
A lower cost to entry.
Repairs, parts, and eventual replacement are on us.
A straightforward set or changeout. Bigger jobs (like trenching) may incur a cost.
Never run out, check your tank levels from your smartphone.
Ready for your installation.
For your tank, propane, heating oil & HVAC.
Tell us how you'll use propane and how long you plan to stay. We'll help you weigh leasing vs. buying — no pressure.
Basic installs have no fees, and we can often set your tank as soon as next week when no permit is needed.
Monitored delivery is included with your lease as is maintenance for your tank. Enjoy the propane care-free.
There’s no single answer that’s best for everyone. It really comes down to two things: how much propane you’ll use and how long you plan to stay in your home. Here’s an honest look at both — then let’s talk it through

Items to Consider
The right size depends on how much propane you use — too small means frequent deliveries, too big isn’t cost-effective. We lease above-ground tanks and will help you match the size to your usage. Prefer an underground tank? Those are available to purchase – see Tank Sales & Installation.

Here are answers to some of the more frequent questions we hear about Propane Tank Leasing. Don’t see your questions below? Just give our office a call at 410-472-2022 and we’ll be happy to answer them..
We do. Gerner installs, owns, maintains, insures, and services the tank — including parts, repairs, and safety checks. You just enjoy the propane.
No – and that’s true with any leased tanks. By law and safety rules, only the company that owns a tank may fill it. That’s the trade: you skip the cost of buying and maintaining a tank, and we earn your fuel business with great service and fair pricing.
Often as soon as next week, as long as your install doesn’t require a permit. We keep the most common sizes in stock so you’re not waiting on inventory.
There are no fees for basic above-ground installs. We’ll walk you through anything unusual (like extra-long gas line runs) before any work begins. No surprises.
We lease tanks to homes that heat with propane – and those homes comfortably use more than any minimum we’d set, so in practice our residential leasing customers never hit one. If you only use propane for cooking, a fireplace, or a generator, we’ll usually recommend buying a tank instead.
Running a business? We lease for commercial operations too: building heat, standby generators, forklift fleets, agriculture, restaurants, and more. We’ll size the tank and structure the agreement around how your operation actually uses propane. Just ask our commercial team.
Give us 30 days’ notice and we’ll schedule tank pickup, and we’ll tell you every cost before you commit. If you move within our area, we simply move your service with you.
Our lease program is for above-ground tanks. If you’d prefer an underground tank, those are available to purchase – see our Tank Sales & Installation page.
