A community propane system is a type of underground pipeline that delivers propane to homes. These systems are usually located in a low-visibility common area. A tank or other container is placed underground and connected to the gas meters.
There are many advantages to using a community gas system instead of a single-yard propane tank.
- One central system can help with curb appeal and increase the marketability of a development.
- Residents do not have to worry about filling up their tanks every time they use them, and they can avoid costly bills.
- Community tanks are also maintenance-free, and they meet the high safety standards in Connecticut.
A community of homes shares a large propane tank, which then pipes the fuel into each other through an underground system. This eliminates the need for customers to install a tank in their yards and allows them to enjoy the same level of natural gas service they would get with piped in.
A gas distribution system can be easily expanded to serve different types of properties, such as schools, homes, and commercial and industrial centers.
The developers, engineers, and land planners who work with us appreciate how our community gas systems can help increase the absorption and marketing of their projects. In addition to providing natural gas service in areas where it is not available, this type of system can also enhance the lifestyle and amenity of their communities.
Developers who previously had a hard time converting their properties to natural gas are now able to benefit from the cost-savings of community propane systems. This type of system can also help boost the sales of propane, as many of the new residents will be able to experience the benefits of the fuel.
Many of the new residents will also be able to enjoy the various benefits of natural gas appliances, such as water heaters that provide instant hot water and gas furnaces that are more efficient than electric models. Having a backup generator can help ensure that their homes are always powered.
