By preference many consumers seek out local small - medium sized businesses for household services. If you have recently acquired a residential property or commercial business in central Ontario and need to find a local propane supplier, we've got some tips for you.

According to the latest government statistics for 2021, Ontario had 449,770 small businesses operating in the province. And businesses that employ 1-99 employees accounted for over 97%. In 2018, small businesses contributed 37.5 percent to gross domestic product (GDP) generated by the private sector.  Small business is an important economic engine for our province!

Why Choose a Local Propane Supplier?

#1 - A local propane supplier employees people directly in your community. From office staff, customer service, gas technicians, to propane tank truck drivers - a range of employment is offered within small town and rural locations. This contributes to the local economy and helps maintain the economic health of the region.

#2 - A small - medium propane business often competes on service.  If a friendly, helpful company is what you are looking for, then choosing a local propane supplier is important. A family owned and run company knows that word of mouth marketing, client referrals, and customer reviews are vital for success.  You'll find many local businesses offer exceptional customer service.

#3 - A local propane supplier has knowledge of the region gained over years of experience living in the area - geography, road conditions, weather trends, installation considerations, etc. Local knowledge means you have the best expertise when conditions change or advice is needed.

#4 - Local businesses often participate in your community above and beyond offering employment and services. From charity fund-raising events, sponsorships and more.. local businesses often support local community needs.
