Need More Storage Capacity?

When it comes to tank size, vapourization matters. For a propane appliance to work, the vapourization rate must be ample enough to deliver the required amount of propane. Our expert technicians perform a site visit to assess applications and vapourization requirements. They will install a propane vapourizer if required to meet the demands of your applications and equipment.

Central propane systems provide off-grid developments with clean-burning, economical propane from a single, centralized location. Community propane systems offer builders and developers a flexible and scalable energy option that makes communities more appealing by offering gas applications such as space heating, water heating, kitchen appliances and standby generators, as well as the convenience of a metered gas system.

Overcome the challenges of a cold winter with a propane tank heater. It ensures that you have heat and power when you need it most. A portable electric heater increases the vapour pressure in your propane tank so that you never experience low propane pressure. A Superior Propane technician will install it for you when the temperatures start to drop.
