Key Considerations for Homeowners When Choosing a Propane Supplier

Posted on Tue, Jun 20, 2023 @ 02:39 PM

Are you thinking about switching to propane energy or searching for a new propane supplier for your home? Selecting the right propane company can be a challenging decision, but it's crucial to make an informed choice.

In this blog, we discuss the five essential factors you should consider when choosing a propane supplier. Finding the right supplier tailored to your specific needs will ensure convenient management of your propane supply.

Before delving into those considerations, let's briefly explore why transitioning to propane is a smart decision.

Why Propane is a Wise Choice

Propane is an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for powering residential homes and businesses. It offers versatile applications both inside and outside your property. Compared to conventional gas and electric systems, propane is not only cheaper but also safer and more durable. It can efficiently heat water, power appliances, fuel outdoor equipment, provide backup generators, and more.

Moreover, propane is a non-toxic and clean-burning fossil fuel, making it an environmentally friendly choice. By using propane, you not only save money on your energy bills but also reduce your carbon footprint. The benefits of using propane as your energy source include:

  1. Reduced environmental impact
  2. Increased safety
  3. Superior heating efficiency
  4. Significant cost savings

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Propane Supplier

With the advantages of propane in mind, let's now explore the key considerations when selecting your propane supplier:

  1. Value for Money

Since one of the primary reasons for switching to propane is cost savings, it's important to find a supplier that offers value for money. However, basing your decision solely on the initial price isn't always the best approach. Propane prices can vary daily and depend on location. Instead of focusing solely on the price of propane, ask about other fees such as installation costs, termination charges, and any minimum monthly purchase requirements. 

  1. Flexible Delivery Options

Heating your home or business with propane should be a seamless and convenient experience. Look for a supplier that offers flexible delivery options to align with your unique lifestyle. At Budget Propane Ontario, for instance, we provide a range of delivery options to meet our customers' needs, including timed delivery, automatic delivery, will call delivery, and seasonal delivery.

  1. High Safety and Regulatory Standards

To ensure your safety and peace of mind when using propane, it's crucial to choose a supplier that upholds the highest safety and regulatory standards. Inquire about their storage, transportation, and handling procedures. A reputable supplier should be able to provide detailed information in these areas.

  1. Customer Service Focus

While large propane companies may prioritize profits, smaller, family-owned suppliers often place greater emphasis on service and customer satisfaction. Your chosen propane supplier should offer high-quality service tailored to your individual needs. Ideally, they should be available for round-the-clock communication to address any issues related to your propane tank, orders, or supply.

  1. Automated Delivery

For a seamless propane delivery experience, consider selecting a supplier that offers automated delivery through tank monitor reading. Propane tank monitors alert your supplier when propane levels reach a custom set-point, enabling timely refills and ensuring you never run out of propane. This automated approach streamlines the entire propane experience.

New to Propane? Here's a Guide for Homeowners

Posted on Tue, Mar 23, 2021 @ 05:12 PM

According to real estate news, 2020 saw a trend for homeowners to move out of larger towns and cities and relocate to a rural community. This was partially because of so many companies transitioning to a remote workforce, where all that was needed was a quiet space and an internet connection for office workers to complete their work. Urban homeowners saw an opportunity to pull up stakes and settle into a year-round rural retreat with all the associated benefits of country living.

Housing in rural or even remote areas, is quite different than in cities - especially when it comes to energy.

Many communities in central Ontario, especially smaller villages, do not have access to natural gas and so homes are either heated by electricity, oil, or propane.

Home buyers often calculate into the purchase price how much it would cost to renovate and upgrade a property to forced air propane with central air conditioning.  Cost savings, efficiency, and environmental benefits are often cited as the reason for the preference for propane.

If you are new to propane as an energy source for your home, we've put together some helpful information in the form of a complimentary downloadable guide (PDF).
