Looking for some input on a propane tank for our residence.
Have leased 500 gallon tank from a local supplier for 15 years. Recently they have went to a policy where they will not refill our (their) tank until we allow them access into our home to conduct a safety check, which includes recording serial numbers of every propane device in the home. I am okay with a safety inspection, but for some reason them recording serial numbers of devices that they do not own, maintain, and will not accept liability for has struck me the the wrong way.
To that end I'm looking at purchasing a 1000 gallon above ground tank outright. That would allow me to shop around for propane (we have 6 suppliers in the area) as well as potentially only need to fill once in the summer.
Just looking for feedback if anyone has gone the same route or has any advice. I have no intentions of moving from the house. It looks like a new tank, installed is going to be in the $2,500 range. I'd hope to re-coupe some money annually in lower fuel costs plus would have residual value of the tank if I ever wanted to resell. Am I chasing my tail with this deal or on the right track? Thanks.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
