Propane for: Home
Using propane for the home can bring a wide range of advantages, from a healthier environment to efficient appliances and more affordable bills.
At Hicksgas, we have been providing service for over 100 years with propane tank installations, system hookups, safety inspections, and reliable delivery.
Propane For Heating
When it comes to reliable, safe, and cost-effective home heating, propane is a smart choice. Propane provides steady warmth, even during power outages and is highly efficient when compared to other electric heating options. Propane is versatile and can power different home heating systems like furnaces, boilers, and space heaters.
Propane for Backup Power
Using propane for generator power is a dependable way to protect your home and keep the power on during outages caused by storms, extreme weather, or even grid failures. Liquid propane for generator use is safe and reliable when it matters most.
Propane For Cooking
Propane cooking appliances give you dependable performance and precise temperature control for all your home-cooked meals. From stoves and griddles to outdoor grills and BBQs, propane delivers consistent heat, fast response times, and reliable results.
Propane for Hot Water
Propane delivers consistent performance for showers, laundry, or dishes, even during high-demand periods. Water heaters that are powered by propane provide fast recovery times and reliable hot water when your household needs it most.
Tank Sizing For Your Home
Our experienced propane professionals evaluate home size, number and types of appliances, and usage patterns to recommend the best tank size for your home.
Some common residential tank sizes are:
• 120-gallon
