How much does it cost to buy or lease a propane tank when adding a gas fireplace?

Ranch-house inserts, either fuel

Clyde's older ranch-style builds came with dated fireplaces that lose more heat than they make. A sealed gas insert turns one into a real heater, and whether it burns natural gas from a metered line or propane from a tank depends on your address — so the first step is confirming the fuel your street has.

On the propane side, the tank belongs to your supplier, who owns and sets a leased one. On natural gas, there's no tank at all — just a meter and a line.

Lease or own, and cold-valley load

Leasing keeps upfront cost low with a small or waived annual fee tied to buying fuel there; owning costs more but lets you price-shop. Clyde shares Canton and Waynesville's cold-air drainage, so a hearth pulling real load burns steadily — size the tank up, and remember on-site propane is fuel already on hand when weather hits.

River humidity, Haywood permit

Valley river humidity rusts dampers and degrades masonry chimneys early here, so sealed direct-vent units and annual service pay off. We pull the Haywood County permit, pressure-test the gas, and connect the appliance, about twenty-five minutes west of our showroom. Any leased tank stays with your propane company.
