Choosing gas tanks for a country house: prices, reviews and installation options
When thinking about building a house, you should always think over the gas and water supply system, as well as providing the building with electricity. Even if the room will be used only for recreation, heating will come in handy in the cold season, and it is always convenient when there is something to heat food on. Therefore, more and more often, consumers choose gas tanks for a country house: prices, reviews of which are different depending on the technical characteristics and reliability of the manufacturer. At the same time, there are certain standards for the installation of equipment.

Gas holders - what is it: technical characteristics and types
Gas holders are metal tanks for storing liquefied propane-butane in gaseous or liquid form. The tank is manufactured in accordance with all safety standards, must be reliable and durable. The product is based on high-quality steel, treated with a special solution against corrosion.
Equipment sensors
In addition to the container, the equipment usually includes a sensor that measures the volume and pressure of the gas, as well as safety valves. In this case, there are a dispensing valve, a filling sensor and a filling valve, which are necessary for filling and dispensing fuel.
Important! Equipment must be of the highest quality to prevent gas leaks.
The models are different in the type of installation, the volume of the storage tank, but they are necessarily safe for private use.
Functioning principle
The principle of operation of the equipment is extremely simple:
- They make gas tank filling, the prices for which are lower in summer.
- Evaporation of a gaseous substance from the surface of the reservoir;
- Regulation and creation of stable pressure using a reactor.
- Gas supply to the house.
Usually the equipment is mounted for private residential premises, where they are going to live all seasons, including heating.
Refueling
Thinking what is cheaper: a gas tank or main gas? One thing can be noted: gas is in any case one of the most cost-effective fuel options for heating. Connecting to the backbone is cheaper than installing equipment. At the same time, prices for the supply of fuel from utilities are constantly growing. The reservoir can be filled once a year at the best price.
Types of gas tanks
Equipment options are different for the type of installation. Several subgroups can be distinguished:
- ground;
- underground;
- mobile.
And also divided by the type of installation into a vertical or horizontal version.
Ground mounting option
In the countries of the European Union, you can often find ground tanks that require less installation costs, however, for the Russian cold weather, this option is practically inapplicable.
Important! If you plan to carry out a surface installation, you will need to install additional evaporators and insulate the case.
Underground installation has a number of advantages:
- the area of evaporation of the liquid is quite large;
- increasing the volume of filling the tank;
- additional devices for fuel evaporation are not required;
- do not affect the appearance of the site;
- the ability to operate on several houses at the same time.
Installation of underground option
That is why in Russia there are underground options that require more time for installation, but less for maintenance.

Mobile options
Mobile gas tanks for a country house, prices, reviews of which are different, are perfect for those who only spend vacations in a private building. This mobile unit can be taken with you, and additional installation is not required.
Trailer variation
The complete set of the mobile version of the units includes a reducer that regulates the gas pressure, a pressure gauge and an indicator of the fuel level in the tank. The largest tank volume is 500 liters. Here is one popular model with specifications and price.

Mikhail, St. Petersburg: “I got a 600 hp mobile model that year. The company has submitted all documents. The equipment is working properly. It is enough for me to heat a 2-storey house ”.
However, for autonomous gasification of a private house, where the gas consumption is higher, stationary equipment is needed, reviews of which are mostly positive.
Gas holders for a country house: prices, reviews for vertical and horizontal models
Considering vertical and horizontal gas tanks for country houses at prices and reviews, the first options did not gain popularity among consumers. The vertical version has a small evaporation surface and low productivity, so it is often necessary to mount two tanks at once.
However, a number of advantages can be distinguished, which include pressure stability.
Vertical and horizontal options
Horizontal options can also be mounted several at a time, connecting them to one gearbox. The advantages include high performance, but it drops after using half the capacity. To avoid a large loss of power, an additional gearbox is mounted.
Installation of two horizontal models
To calculate the cost of heating for a house of 200 m², some data are used:
- average gas consumption per month (3.3 liters per m²);
- for the heating season in six months, 20 liters per m² are needed;
- total consumption - 4,000 liters;
- price for 1 liter of fuel - from 12 to 15 rubles;
- it turns out that during the season you will spend about 60 thousand rubles. for a house of 200 m².
Important! When choosing the correct volume of the gas tank, keep in mind that it should be 15-20% more than the minimum fuel consumption, and also add 10% for the stock.
Rating of gas tank manufacturers
According to reviews about gas holders for heating a country house, 4 companies can be distinguished, which are recognized as the best:
- AvtonomGaz;
- Eurostandard;
- FAS;
- Russian gas tanks RP and RPG.

| Sequencing | Photo example |
|---|---|
| After choosing the model of the gas tank, it is necessary to prepare the pit for its placement. The installation site must be protected with yellow tape with the inscription "Dangerous". |  |
| Further, it is necessary to install a gravel airbag and a concrete base. Sometimes you can just pour concrete. |  |
| The container is lowered by means of a crane and fixed on special pins and steel cables. |  |
| The next step is preparing a trench for the gas pipeline and laying pipes. |  |
| Install additional equipment on the container according to the instructions. |  |
| Test the system before instillation. Then, cover with earth. |  |
