Installation That’s Done Once: Done Right
A propane tank installation is not a one-afternoon project you want to hand off to the cheapest bidder. The tank size, placement, gas line routing, regulator setup, and safety clearances all have to be correct from day one, because fixing a poorly installed system costs far more than doing it right the first time.
Union Propane handles every step: site inspection, permit coordination, tank placement, gas line connection, safety testing, and a full walk-through before we leave. Whether you’re heating a home, running commercial equipment, or fueling agricultural operations, we size and install the right system for your actual usage, not a generic recommendation.
We’re based in Marysville, Ohio. This is our community. When something comes up after installation, and sometimes it does, you’re calling a local number, not a national call center.
Residential, Commercial & Agricultural Installation
We install propane tanks for homeowners, businesses, and farm operations across Central Ohio. Each has different requirements, and we handle all of them.
Home Propane Tank Installation
Propane is one of the most reliable heating fuels for Ohio homes, especially in rural areas where natural gas lines don’t reach. A properly sized residential propane tank keeps your heating system, water heater, stove, dryer, and backup generator running without interruption. We work with homeowners to determine the right tank size based on square footage, number of propane appliances, and annual usage estimates. Most homes use a 250 to 500-gallon tank for heating. Homes with multiple propane appliances or propane backup generators typically need a 500 to 1,000-gallon setup. We handle permits, placement, gas line connection, and regulator setup. You get a full system inspection and walk-through before we leave.
Propane is a dependable energy solution for businesses that need consistent fuel for heating, cooking, manufacturing, or backup power. From restaurants and warehouses to offices and industrial facilities, a properly installed propane system ensures smooth daily operations.
We assess your business needs based on equipment usage, peak demand, and operating hours to recommend the right tank size and setup. Most commercial properties require 500 to 1,000+ gallon tanks, depending on load requirements.
Our team handles permits, safe placement, gas line installation, and system configuration with minimal disruption to your business. Every installation is tested and inspected to meet safety standards.
Propane plays a critical role in modern farming, powering grain dryers, irrigation systems, greenhouse heating, and farm equipment. A reliable propane setup helps keep your operations running efficiently through every season.
We work with farm owners to determine the ideal tank size based on equipment, acreage, and seasonal demand. Agricultural setups often require larger tanks, typically ranging from 500 to 1,000+ gallons.
Our team ensures proper placement, secure connections, and compliance with all safety regulations. We also consider accessibility for refilling and long-term usability in rural environments.

Propane Tank Installation Cost in Ohio
Installation costs vary, and any company that gives you a flat price without seeing your property is guessing.
The main factors that affect your cost are tank size (250, 500, or 1,000 gallons), whether you choose above-ground or underground placement, the distance from the tank to your home’s gas line, and whether excavation or permits are required.
Underground installations cost more than above-ground because of the digging, specialized equipment, and additional labor involved. Larger tanks and longer gas line runs also add to the total.
Why Union Propane: Local, Licensed, and Accountable
We’re not a national chain. We’re a family-owned propane company based in Marysville, Ohio, and this community is where we live and work. We’re a local, family-owned company based in Marysville. We’re not a national chain managing your service call from a call center two states away.
When one of our customers ran out of propane before a snowstorm last winter, we had a driver at their home within two hours. When another customer noticed a suspected valve issue, we were there the same day. That’s the advantage of working with a team that knows your area and treats service calls as a priority, not a ticket number.
We don’t push long-term contracts. We don’t recommend equipment you don’t need. We tell you what makes sense for your situation, do the work correctly, and make sure you’re comfortable before we leave.
Propane Tank Installation — FAQs
How long does propane tank installation take in Ohio?
Most above-ground residential installations are completed within a few hours. Underground installations typically take one to two days, depending on soil conditions, excavation depth, and site access. Commercial and agricultural setups vary based on tank size and gas line routing requirements.
Do I need a permit for a propane tank in Ohio?
Permit requirements vary by county and municipality across Ohio. Some locations require permits for tanks above a certain gallon threshold; others do not. We handle permit coordination as part of every installation — you don’t have to figure this out yourself.
What size propane tank do I need for my home?
For a typical Ohio home using propane for heating and hot water, a 500-gallon tank is the most common choice. Smaller homes with limited propane use may do well with a 250-gallon tank. Homes with multiple propane appliances or a propane backup generator often need a 1,000-gallon setup. We give a specific recommendation after a site visit.
How far does a propane tank need to be from a house?
Minimum clearance distances depend on tank size and applicable local codes. As a general rule, a 500-gallon tank requires at least 10 feet from any structure, and a 1,000-gallon tank requires 25 feet. We confirm exact requirements during our site inspection before recommending a placement location.
