What We Do with CO2

You may have noticed "CO₂" (or carbon dioxide) floating around our website or ads for some time now. And you may have wondered what exactly it's used for. As a restaurant or bar manager, you know that CO₂ is vital to fountain drinks and beer as it is responsible for the carbonation in the beverages. Currently, we supply such businesses and venues with bottled CO₂ only. So if you have a bulk CO₂ system, we're unable to meet your needs at this time. However, if we can help you, please let us know.

Why Helium Xpress Balloon Wholesale?

Perhaps you're wondering how a helium business got mixed up with CO₂. It's alright, we sometimes wonder too. As it turns out though, many businesses that use helium and balloons for promotions happen to be restaurants and night clubs. As we began receiving more requests for it, we stepped up to the plate to serve even more of our customers' needs.

Of course, there are several large companies that provide CO₂, but few can provide the same-day delivery we offer.

We DO NOT Service the Machinery

When we receive orders for CO₂, we simply deliver what is requested. Our drivers do not install or hook up any lines. If you feel there is an issue with the lines or your CO₂ system in any way, please contact the provider of your CO₂ system. In most cases, this is the Coca-Cola or Pepsi company.

Have a question about our CO₂ services and pricing? Great! We'd love to help.
(By the way, we provide beer gas in the same capacity!)

Helium Cylinder Refills

At Helium Xpress, we can and do refill helium cylinders. However, there are certain criteria that must be met for us to legally and safely do so. Please note if you purchased a Balloon Time kit from a store such as Party City or Walmart, these tanks are disposable and cannot be refilled. If you have an industrial cylinder, please continue to determine your refill eligibility. Who Owns the Cylinder? This may sound like a trick question, but it's not. The answer to this question provides us with valid and important information regarding whether or not we can refill your cylinder. You might believe you are the owner of the cylinder because it's been on your property for as a long as you can remember, it has a self-made tag with your business name on it or because you personally paid for the cylinder. However, in some cases, it's still not your cylinder. This is why it's very important to purchase helium cylinders from a trusted source. Let us explain. The owner

Cylinder Sizes

We often get asked for height and weight measurements of helium cylinders. Whether you're renting or purchasing, it's good to know exactly what you're getting. It needs to meet your needs with regards to output, but in many cases, it also needs to be easily transported. If you plan to be mobile while using your cylinder, make sure it's something you're comfortable transporting. Will you be able load it into a vehicle unassisted? If not, will someone be available to help you? Do you plan on transporting it a lot or just occasionally? These are just a few questions to ask yourself when deciding on a cylinder size. Consider the following information to assist in your decision-making. Small Cylinder 55 cu. ft. Inflates approximately 65 12" latex balloons Stands 27" tall and is approximately 8.5" in diameter Weighs in at 26 lbs.* (aluminum cylinder) Medium Cylinder 125 cu. ft.

HX Loyalty Program for Large Cylinders

Chances are you've heard about or read up on our loyalty program. We've had such a great response to this program that now we're taking it one step further. Many of you asked if the program extended to large cylinders and we're happy to announce that now it does! Here's the breakdown... A large cylinder alone costs $300.00. You still need to fill it with helium and purchase a valve. We recommend purchasing a valve with a gauge so that you can monitor the amount of helium you have in your cylinder. This would cost $524.95. As you know, we granted massive discounts for small and medium-sized cylinders. And our newest program for large cylinders is no different. Now, you can purchase a large cylinder (full of helium) and a valve with a gauge for just $420! When you need it refilled, just pay $145*! Compare it to our other size options and see which one works for you . Written by: Miriam E. Medellin *Edited on July 24, 2019 to reflect price increase
