Quick answer
In Puerto Rico, for your home Tropigas sells you the propane tank and the purchase includes a free installation design. You own the equipment, with an installation designed by NFPA certified technicians to NFPA 58 code. The property evaluation is free. Call 787-641-8002 to schedule it.
Tropigas de Puerto Rico is a propane distributor with more than 60 years of history and 23 plants across the island that sells, designs, and installs propane systems for the home. Buying your tank means the equipment is yours, with no rental fees, and Tropigas standing behind the design, installation, and delivery.
NFPA 58, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, governs the safe installation of propane tanks in Puerto Rico; together with NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code), it defines the clearances, protections, and leak tests that Tropigas meets on every residential installation.

Why buy your tank instead of renting it?
For the home, buying is the path that works in your favor. The tank is yours from day one, you pay no rental fees, and you end up with a system designed and installed for your property. Rental at Tropigas is for commercial and industrial use only, so for your home the model is purchase, and it comes with a concrete advantage: the installation design is included free.
The purchase includes a free installation design
When you buy your tank with Tropigas, an NFPA certified technician designs the installation at no cost. That includes evaluating your property, setting where the tank goes to meet NFPA 58 safety clearances, sizing the tank to your consumption, and planning the gas line run to your appliances. It is not an add-on charged separately: it is part of the purchase.
Tank sizes for the home
Choosing the size depends on what you use propane for and how much space you have. Common residential options are: 20 and 100 pound cylinders for specific uses; the 120 gallon Fatboy tank, which is vertical and takes little space; and horizontal 250 and 500 gallon tanks for homes that use propane for cooking, water heating, the dryer, and a backup generator. During the evaluation we calculate the right size for your home.
What Tropigas covers with your purchase
With the purchase you get the tank, the free installation design, installation by NFPA certified technicians to NFPA 58 and 54 code, and the connection of your appliances. Afterward we keep the system supplied with propane delivery and scheduled refills from our 23 plants across the island, so you never run out.
