Do you value your energy independence? If so, propane offers one of the most dependable fueling options for your home’s heat, hot water, and appliances. It is an incredibly versatile energy source, and unlike natural gas and electricity, it is energy you control.

And with a reliable propane delivery partner like Superior Propane Inc. in your corner, you’ll never be without the fuel you need.

Are There Dangers of a Corroded or Damaged Propane Tank?

Propane tanks are built for the long haul but don’t last forever. A corroded or damaged tank can have structural problems and potentially leak propane.
