Thats kinda subjective.Depends on how often you want to fill it.Do you have a gas furnace,water heater,stove,fireplace, etc? I have a 1000 gallon in ground.I say get the biggest you can but thats up to you. Here is the best piece of advice I can give you––––––- BUY THE TANK OUTRIGHT. You will have to pay about $100 rental per year anyway but here is the catch. No other provider will fill another companies tank unless you can prove you own it. Therefore,you are at their mercy to charge you whatever they want.They can be $5 a gallon and another company will be $2 but they wont fill it. I had Suburban and they provided my tank.That was fine a year or two in and I got checking prices.They didnt care and would not match any others. I told them I was discontinuing my service with them and they could come get their tank! They did not like that and told me I had to dig it up and they would come get it.I said no,I am not digging it up and I will not pay the lease and when they come to get it better leave the yard as good as it was beforehand. I ended up lowballing them on the tank and they agreed to it.I saved enough on the first two fill ups to pay for it.I should have done it years ago.
I say all of this assuming you have not had propane before.If its old news just ignore it.Good luck.
