I have 3 100 gallons propane tanks (bought the house with the propane system) we also use it for cooking, and we only fill the tanks during the winter (2-3 times) right now it comes to about $628 to refill all 3 tanks. If you’re only gonna use it for heating and have more tolerance for the cold (wife and kids don’t want to go below 68) you could probably do better than me with the efficiency.

Are the 100lb tanks fixed in place? Or can you disconnect one or two to move them to refill. Cause 628 seems quite high. I work at a place that refills propane tanks and for a 100lb for us I think it's just under 100 a tank? Maybe 80 bucks? I would have to double check. We just would need you to bring the tank to us.

Yeah I don’t think we can disconnect the tanks, they are also owned by the propane provider. Our fixed rate is 2.99 per gallon, it was cheaper before Covid, but that’s our rate now

Ah that makes sense, sucks that the rate is so high, I know my work buys our propane for like half that.

Yeah, that sucks. Maybe we’ll transfer to natural gas in a few years.

Who do you use for $2.99 a gallon? I have Superior and I’m paying $3.60 a gallon. I also have 300 gallons.

Consumers Propane, but I locked that rate earlier this year.

I heard they are good but I’m hesitant to switch. I’ve had no problems with superior in the four years I’ve used them besides them being on the pricy side this year. Thanks for the info! Can’t believe 3 years ago I was paying $1.99/gallon.

No issues with Consumers on my end either, but yeah I understand, it’s a pain to change services.
