You can check your propane tank levels in two ways.

  1. Use our mobile app to view estimated tank levels.
  2. Physically inspect the tank gauge.

Remember that 80% is full, 40% is half, and when you reach 25%, please contact us for a refill on the next scheduled delivery in your area.

The easiest way to monitor tank levels is to use AutoFill, where our secure, wireless monitoring system will alert us when the tank reaches 25%. Then, we’ll automatically schedule a propane refill within two weeks.

Please place your propane order when the tank reaches 25% capacity. This ensures that you are added to the next available route in your area.  Failing to provide this notice might result in demand delivery charges.

Additionally, you can enroll in the AutoFill service, which simplifies the process by automatically scheduling propane deliveries based on your usage patterns, ensuring you receive propane when you need it without having to monitor your tank levels closely.

Routed delivery means that your propane order will be scheduled to be delivered on the next planned delivery route in your area. This method ensures efficient and timely delivery without incurring any additional costs. Typically, routed deliveries are scheduled to arrive within two weeks from the time the order is placed. This timeframe allows us to optimize the delivery routes and serve all customers in a timely manner.

However, if you require propane more urgently, you have the option of choosing demand delivery. With demand delivery, your propane will be delivered within 3 days, but it comes with an additional cost. This option provides a quicker turnaround time for your order, catering to customers who need propane on shorter notice or have urgent requirements.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Tanks are typically filled to 80% in the winter months.  In the summer months we may fill to 70 to 75% because of extreme heat, which allows for the necessary expansion of the propane vapors inside the tank.

So a 500-gallon tank typically would be filled to 80%, or 400 gallons. 80% is considered full, 40% is considered half full, and 25% means you should schedule a propane refill in the next two weeks.

The minimum delivery for propane is typically 200 gallons. This means that when you place an order for propane, the minimum amount you can request for delivery is 200 gallons.

It’s worth noting that smaller deliveries, below this minimum threshold, may incur higher costs per gallon. This is because there are fixed costs associated with delivering propane, regardless of the quantity. Therefore, to cover these fixed costs, we charge a higher rate per gallon for smaller deliveries.

If you require propane in quantities smaller than the minimum delivery amount, you may still be able to arrange delivery, but you should be prepared for the higher cost per gallon compared to larger orders.

Our propane delivery process is straightforward. Please ensure a clear path for the propane delivery truck (called a bobtail), free of obstacles like hanging tree limbs and debris, for a smooth delivery experience.

  1. Our propane delivery truck arrives at your location.
  2. The driver positions the bobtail truck in your driveway.
  3. The driver will use a 100-foot hose to safely deliver propane to  your tank. 
  4. The delivery is metered, and a ticket is generated.
  5. The payment is processed via the provided payment method.

We offer both Pre-Buy and Level Pay contract gas programs. You can purchase your winter gas ahead of time at a consistent price per gallon during a limited time in the summer.

The key difference between Level Pay and PreBuy is the payment structure. With Level Pay, customers pay for their propane in advance, similar to prebuy, but instead of paying the full amount upfront, they make monthly payments based on their estimated usage and pricing.

While Prebuy requires customers to pay for their propane supply in one lump sum upfront, Level Pay breaks the total cost into smaller, manageable monthly payments. These payments are typically made year-round, providing customers with consistent and predictable propane expenses throughout the year.

One important aspect of Level Pay is that deliveries can only be made for the credit available on the customer’s account. This means that customers must maintain a sufficient credit balance to cover their propane deliveries. If the credit on the account is insufficient, additional payment may be required at the time of delivery.

Overall, Level Pay offers customers the convenience of spreading out their propane expenses while still providing price stability and protection against potential price increases. It allows customers to budget more effectively for their heating needs and avoid the hassle of large upfront payments.

  2. Evacuate the Premises: Exit immediately to a safe location outdoors.

Our tank rental services are designed to accommodate various propane usage needs, offering flexibility and convenience. Here’s how we determine the rental charges:

  1. Tank Sizing: The size of the tank is determined based on your specific requirements at the time of installation.

  2. Annual Usage Requirement: To qualify for our standard tank rental charge, you must purchase a minimum of 75% of your tank’s size in gallons annually. For instance, if you have a 500-gallon tank filled to 80% capacity (400 gallons), you’ll need to purchase 300 gallons each year. Your actual requirements may vary depending on your usage.

  3. Tank Packages: For customers with lower propane usage, we offer tank packages that include minimum use charges based on the tank size. These packages help cover the cost of tank rental and maintenance.

It’s important to note that while we provide tank rental services, our primary focus is propane delivery, and our rental charges are structured accordingly to support this service.
