If you’ve been thinking about converting your home to propane, summer isn’t just a good time—it’s the best time to make the switch. From better scheduling flexibility to smoother installations and pre-winter peace of mind, warm weather months offer the perfect opportunity to upgrade your home’s energy system.

At Tankfarm, we make energy decisions easier. We combine innovative technology, outstanding customer service, and transparent pricing to deliver a modern and reliable propane experience to homeowners. Here's why thousands of homeowners are switching to propane in the summer—and why it might be the right time for you, too.

Why Should I Switch to Propane in the Summer?

Many homeowners are asking:

• When is the best time to switch from heating oil to propane?
• Is it cheaper to convert to propane in the summer?
• Can I install a propane tank in warm weather?

The answer is yes to all of the above, and here’s why timing your conversion for summer can save you time, money, and headaches down the road.

1. You’ll Beat the Winter Rush

Why it matters: Fall and winter are peak seasons for propane companies. When the cold sets in, demand spikes for new tank installs, fuel deliveries, and emergency service calls. This can result in longer wait times, tighter schedules, and increased stress., Why summer helps: Summer offers lighter service schedules and faster turnaround times. You won’t be competing with freezing temperatures or last-minute rushes for attention.

✅ At Tankfarm, we offer proactive scheduling and rapid install timelines so you can get up and running without delays. You’ll be warm and ready long before the first frost hits.

2. It’s Easier to Plan—and Save

Why it matters: Switching energy sources in the middle of winter can feel rushed and reactive. You’re focused on staying warm, not comparing quotes or researching the best providers. That can lead to higher costs and less-than-ideal decisions.

Why summer helps: With no immediate pressure to heat your home, summer gives you the breathing room to explore your options, understand your energy needs, and create a plan that works for your household.

✅ Tankfarm’s pricing is fair and transparent—no hidden fees, confusing bills, or fine print. And with our smart tech, you can monitor usage, budget wisely, and avoid surprises all year long.

3. Weather Is on Your Side

Why it matters: Installing or replacing a propane system isn’t always simple. It often involves tank delivery, trenching, crawl space access, or outdoor electrical work. Cold weather and frozen ground can slow things down, sometimes to a halt.

Why summer helps: Dry conditions, warmer temps, and longer daylight hours make for ideal installation conditions. Your yard is more accessible, and our technicians can work efficiently without weather delays.

✅ Tankfarm technicians are highly trained and equipped to handle installations quickly and cleanly, making the most of summer’s longer, easier workdays.

4. Propane Powers Summer Fun

Why it matters: Propane is more than just a heating solution. It powers a wide range of outdoor appliances—from pool heaters and patio setups to outdoor kitchens and fire features.

Why summer helps: When you switch to propane in the summer, you can start enjoying the benefits immediately. Fire up the grill, warm up the pool, and enjoy those late summer nights by the fire pit—all powered by propane.

✅ With Tankfarm’s remote tank monitoring, you never have to worry about running out—whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or heating your home in January.

5. You’re Ready for Heating Season

Why it matters: Winter weather can be unpredictable. If you wait until temperatures drop to start your propane conversion, you could find yourself without heat at the worst possible time. Emergency conversions are often more expensive and stressful.

Why summer helps: By making the switch now, you ensure your system is installed, tested, and ready to perform. You’ll head into the colder months with total confidence.

✅ Tankfarm’s smart monitor technology, real-time alerts, and mobile app put you in control—giving you peace of mind no matter the season.
