Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a professional to install my propane tank?
Yes, it is highly recommended. Yoder Oil’s technicians are trained to safely install propane tanks and hook-ups to ensure proper operation and prevent hazards.
Where should I install my tank?
Your propane tank should be installed outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from potential ignition sources. It must also be accessible for refills and maintenance.
What are my propane tank options?
Propane tanks come in multiple sizes and can be installed above ground or underground. We help you choose the best option based on your heating needs, space, safety requirements, and budget.
Is propane better than electric heating?
Many homeowners find heating with propane to be more efficient and comfortable than electric heat pumps, especially in cold climates like Central Illinois. Propane furnaces typically deliver warmer air at the vent (around 130°F-140°F) compared to electric heat pumps (around 95°F-100°F), warming your home faster and more effectively during winter.
