5 Ways Propane Tank Monitors Can Save You Time and Money

January 15, 2026

Living on Cape Cod means dealing with all types of weather, seasonal homes, and propane tanks that are often out of sight and out of mind. When your schedule is already full, it can be hard to remember every item on your chore list, like regularly checking your fuel levels. A propane tank monitor can help you better manage your household needs and prevent costly repairs associated with a propane runout.

1. Reduces Risk of Losing Power

If you rely on propane for a backup generator, visibility matters before a big storm hits. When you have a monitoring system like Gaslog® installed on your propane tank by Snow’s, you can check your levels on your phone, and both you and our team get notified when your propane is getting low. This way, you can place an order to prepare for an outage and keep all of your essential systems running.

2. Protects Your Home from Frozen Pipes

A propane runout can turn into a costly plumbing problem. Frozen pipes can occur when indoor temperatures drop low enough for the water in the supply lines, especially in colder areas like basements, crawlspaces, and unheated areas, to freeze. When water freezes, it can expand and crack the pipe. Until temperatures rise enough for the ice to thaw, you may not even notice a burst pipe until it shows up later and causes extensive damage.

3. Saves Time by Eliminating Manual Tank Checks

Checking your propane tank means regularly walking out into the cold and potentially clearing a path just to read your gauge. Tank monitors cut down on that time. In seconds, you can view a monitor reading right from your phone and know exactly when you may need to place an order.

4. Helps Avoid Costly Emergency Services

Unexpected fueling issues can lead to emergency service calls, rushed deliveries, and system restarts for safety purposes. With better visibility into your propane levels, tank monitors help address potential issues earlier and avoid last-minute situations that can cost more money.

5. Makes Fuel Planning More Predictable

Propane usage can vary with the weather, guests, and generator readiness. Tank monitors provide accurate, real-time data, making it easier to plan your next fuel fill. Combine this with the ability to review your delivery history, and you can more accurately predict when you will need a fill and ensure your household budget can accommodate it.
