Propane Tank Installation
A propane tank is only one part of a complete propane system. Proper planning also includes tank placement, fuel demand, regulators, gas lines, site access, safety requirements, and the appliances or equipment your propane will supply.
SouthTex Propane provides full-service propane tank installation for both residential and commercial properties. We carry a variety of tank sizes and can help determine which option makes the most sense for your property and expected propane usage.
Because every property is different, we take the time to evaluate your needs before recommending a setup. A home using propane for cooking and water heating may need a very different system than a property also powering a pool heater, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, dryer, or whole-home generator.

Above-Ground vs. Underground Propane Tanks
SouthTex Propane installs both above-ground and underground propane tanks. The right choice depends on your property, preferences, available space, access, and how you plan to use propane.
An above-ground propane tank provides convenient access for installation, service, and future maintenance. It can be a practical choice for homes, ranches, businesses, and rural properties where appearance or available yard space is less of a concern.
An underground propane tank installation keeps most of the tank below the surface, making it a popular option for homeowners who want propane without having a large tank visible in the yard. Underground installations require additional excavation and site preparation, so property conditions are an important part of the planning process.
SouthTex Propane owns the heavy equipment needed for propane installation projects. Whether we are working on flat South Texas land or rocky Hill Country terrain, our team has the equipment to prepare the site and get the job done.
Not sure which option fits your property? We can walk you through the advantages of both before installation begins.
Residential Propane Installation
Propane gives homeowners the flexibility to power many of the systems they rely on every day, including water heaters, cooking appliances, clothes dryers, fireplaces, heating equipment, outdoor kitchens, pool heaters, generators, and more.
Our residential propane installation services are tailored to your home instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
If you are adding propane to an existing home, we can evaluate your property and help determine the appropriate tank location and capacity based on your current needs. We can also discuss future additions so you do not unintentionally limit your options later.
Planning ahead is especially important if you eventually want to add features such as a propane generator, pool, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, or additional appliances.
Commercial Propane Installation
Businesses depend on their energy systems to keep operations moving. SouthTex Propane provides commercial propane installation for businesses throughout our growing South and Central Texas service area.
We work with restaurants, commercial properties, agricultural operations, shops, and other businesses that need reliable propane infrastructure. Our team can assist with new tank installations, tank replacements, rough-ins, gas lines, and systems designed around the property’s expected fuel demand.
Commercial propane needs can vary significantly from one business to another, which is why we start by evaluating the property and how propane will be used.
Commercial customers can also benefit from SouthTex Propane’s Stay Full Remote Tank Monitoring. The system allows tank levels to be monitored so deliveries can be handled without adding another task to your schedule.
New Construction Propane Installation
Building a new home gives you the opportunity to plan your propane system correctly from the beginning.
SouthTex Propane works directly with homeowners, builders, and contractors on new construction propane installation and rough-ins. We can review house plans, evaluate expected propane demand, and help plan tank placement, line sizing, regulators, and connections for propane-powered equipment.
We also encourage homeowners to think beyond what will be installed on move-in day.
Maybe the pool will come in two years later. Maybe an outdoor kitchen is part of the five-year plan. Maybe you decide to add a whole-home generator after the next Texas power outage.
Planning for those possibilities during construction can make future upgrades much easier.
Our goal is to build a propane system that works for the home you are building now while leaving room for where your plans may take you next.
We believe in recommending what your property actually needs, not replacing equipment simply for the sake of replacing it.
Propane Tank Replacement
A properly maintained propane tank can provide reliable service for many years, so age alone does not automatically mean a tank needs to be replaced.
However, there are situations where propane tank replacement may make sense. An existing tank may no longer provide enough capacity for the property’s propane demand, the property may be undergoing significant changes, or the condition of the existing equipment may require a different solution.
SouthTex Propane can evaluate your current setup and recommend the best next step. If a replacement is appropriate, our team can remove the existing setup as needed and install a tank that better fits your current propane needs.
What Size Propane Tank Do I Need?
Choosing the right propane tank size is an important part of the installation process. Bigger is not automatically better, and a tank that is too small can create unnecessary refill demands.
When recommending a tank, we consider factors such as:
- The propane appliances and equipment on the property
- Estimated propane usage
- Whether propane will supply a whole-home generator
- Available tank placement and site access
- Residential or commercial use
- Planned future additions such as a pool heater, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, or additional appliances
For new construction, reviewing these details before lines and equipment are installed can help create a more efficient system and prevent limitations later.
Our Propane Installation Process
We want propane installation to feel straightforward from the first conversation through the completed project.
1. Discuss Your Propane Needs
We start by learning about your property and how you plan to use propane. For new construction, this may include reviewing building plans and discussing future additions.
2. Evaluate the Property
Our team considers potential tank locations, property layout, access, terrain, expected fuel demand, and whether an above-ground or underground installation makes the most sense
3. Determine Tank Size and System Requirements
We recommend a tank size based on your anticipated propane usage and identify the lines, regulators, connections, and other system components needed for the project.
4. Prepare and Install
SouthTex Propane has its own heavy equipment, allowing our team to handle site preparation and tank placement for a wide range of properties, including challenging Texas Hill Country terrain.
5. Complete Connections and System Checks
Once the tank and propane system components are installed, our technicians complete the necessary connections and checks before the system is placed into service.
6. Keep Your Property Fueled
After installation, SouthTex Propane can continue serving your property with dependable propane delivery and available remote tank monitoring options.
Why Choose SouthTex Propane for Propane Installation?
SouthTex Propane is a locally owned company built around something pretty simple: take care of your customers like neighbors.
We provide residential and commercial propane expertise, competitive pricing, knowledgeable technicians, responsive communication, and personalized recommendations for every installation.
Unlike propane companies that have to depend on rental companies when a project requires larger equipment, SouthTex owns the heavy equipment needed to complete our installation work. That gives our team the ability to take on projects ranging from straightforward residential tank sets to challenging sites throughout the Texas Hill Country.
Most importantly, we take the time to understand what you are trying to accomplish before recommending a propane system.
Whether you are installing your first propane tank, building a custom home, expanding a commercial property, or planning for future propane appliances, our goal is to make sure the job is done right from the start.
