How To Select A Propane Delivery Service

By Cath Buhr


Propane is an excellent source of home fuel. It is cleaner and less expensive than most other types of fuel that are used for electricity. If you are considering switching to propane as your fuel source or you just want to search for a new propane company, the following tips will help you select the best possible propane supplier.

When you purchase propane, you obviously will need someplace to store the propane, and this means you need to rent or purchase a propane tank or perhaps more than one tank. There usually is a fee for tank installation as well, around $100 to $200 dollars depending on the size of the tank. Above-ground tanks range in size and price. A 120-gallon tank will cost about $350 and a large 1,000 gallon tank might cost about $2,000. You also can inquire about a lease to own type of program.

If buying a tank sounds like a good idea to you, be sure to only buy a tank from a company that provides both a repurchase guarantee and a 10-year warranty. Be mindful that the warranty will only include coverage of the tank itself and not the valve or supply line regulators. The repurchase agreement means that if you have to move or you decide to use another source of fuel instead of propane, your propane company will buy the tank back from you at the price you paid for it originally.

Propane is similar to gasoline and other sources of fuel in that the price goes up and down. With propane, it is most expensive during the winter, which of course is when you need this heating source the most. To avoid paying higher per gallon costs, you should consider paying for your propane in advance. You can buy all of your propane for the year at extremely low prices. If you cannot afford to pay for a large amount in advance, ask about price caps. These are programs where you pay a fee, maybe $100 per year, and you are guaranteed that your price per gallon won't go above a certain amount, even if propane prices skyrocket.

You can have a great tank and pre-buy at a low price but if the quality of your propane is low, then you aren't going to be happy. Americans have the option of purchasing either HD10 or HD5 propane. HD10 propane does contain propane, but not as much propane and it is mixed with a lot of undesirable by-products that you don't want. HD5 is much more pure and you can even see the difference if you compare a stove flame from HD5 and one from HD10. A bright blue flame indicates that you are using a more pure propane and that is what you want.

HD5 propane is the only type of propane that can be exported from the United States because other countries simply won't allow lower quality propane and neither should you. If you are searching for low prices on high quality HD5 propane, give Thrifty Propane a call. They have a price match guarantee and sell only HD5 propane, as well as selling and leasing tanks and offering fast, efficient propane delivery.
