Current propane prices are more than three dollars a gallon less than last year.

The high prices of last year, the polar vortex, the propane shortages are all just a memory now.

Winter weather is here and it is a good time to think about your propane usage and access to your tank. Most of our customers are on scheduled delivery status. A description of scheduled delivery is that we deliver propane to your tank based on historical usage and temperature conditions. With this being said, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on your tank. If you make any changes to your usage that we are unaware of, it could affect the time we deliver to your tank. We do try and arrive when you are at approximately 20%, but do ask that you let us know if you get below this level and we have not arrived to put propane in your tank. Read more …

Proper tank maintenance helps ensure your fuel supply stays clean and free of harmful contaminants in your storage tank – and remains that way until it reaches your fuel system. Removing water, sediment and other impurities from the storage tank prevents them from entering your fuel system where they can lead to corrosion, filter plugging, and ice formation that severely hampers engine performance.
