Just bought house with 1,000 gallon propane tank (is this normal?)
I just bought a house with a 1,000 gallon propane tank owned
by the house and property tax is paid on the tank which is a California-only thing I hear. They just filled the tank up to 85% (they wouldn't fill further they told my wife, otherwise it could blow up, they said). They told me the price is $1.45 per gallon of propane plus about a twenty dollar "hazmat" fee whatever that means, for a total price a bit over a thousand dollars for the fill. They said they "inspected" the system (which was existing), and they inspected the tank which is on on four-inch thick concrete slab bolted down by straps for earthquakes), and they charge $100 for that inspection (my wife let them in the house but she doesn't know what they did). I never had propane before. I don't begrudge them anything. But, I also don't know what's normal. Is this normal stuff? |
