Deliveries are done once per month, starting in November and ending in March.  You must have a charge account in good standings to be a part of the Keep-fill Program.

The LP Summerfill program typically begins in June.  Contact us for more information and to participate in the upcoming year’s Summerfill Program!

For this program, you are responsible for monitoring your propane levels and ordering propane deliveries during our business hours.

Call-in orders are a minimum of 150 gallons.

Should your tank run out of propane, we are required to complete a leak test before the system is put back into service as mandated by insurance. Out-of-gas calls will incur a $25.00 fee for the leak test. No system will be put back into service until it is proven to be gas tight and free of leaks.  After hour deliveries are subject to an additional $50 charge for emergency delivery.

Heating Oil

Delivered in Bulk

Heating oil systems provide another source of alternative clean, safe and environmentally friendly heat for your home.  New technology has made home heating oil one of the most highly efficient, low emission ways to ensure warmth, safety and comfort.

Heating oil is quite safe, requires a high-tech burner to ignite the oil. Heating oil must be vaporized before it will ignite or burn. Over the last three decades, oil heat equipment has vastly improved its environmental performance. Before the development of the modern oil burners, the emissions of particulate matter from an oil heat system were 10 pounds per 1000 gallons burned, or .1 percent. Today’s oil heat has significantly lowered its emissions. Now, only 7 ounces is released for every thousand gallons burned, or .006 percent.
