This year, we’ve become undoubtedly familiar with supply chain issues and geopolitical conflicts that have resulted in higher energy prices across the board. That’s not just for the oil and propane to fuel your home, but also at the gas pump and at the grocery store, to name just a few.
While we can’t control prices at-large, we are always looking for ways to help keep costs manageable. And we can tell you that customers who were enrolled in one of our pricing plans for propane were well protected from the worst of this past winter’s price spikes. We know every budget is different, and that’s why we offer multiple options—read on to see how each works and discover the best option for you.
Even when fuel prices are low, this plan is the most popular. That’s because our Worry-Free Budget Plan is a smart way to manage winter propane—and heating oil—costs and avoid unexpected high invoices. That’s the case no matter how cold it gets or how much fuel you use!
We use an average based on your past fuel use to spread your costs evenly throughout the year, cutting winter bills nearly in half and making it easier for you to budget your expenses.
The point of the plan is to keep your fuel costs level and manageable, so if we have a particularly harsh winter or prices spike, we’ll help adjust your payments so you don’t get hit with a large balance in the summer. Likewise, if it’s a mild winter, we can adjust and reduce your payments: The point is to help you save while avoiding big fluctuations.
With our Pre-Buy Plan, we set an agreed-upon price per gallon of propane you’ll need for the entire season. That’ll be the exact price you’ll pay throughout the term of your contract! Enrolling in Pre-Buy does require payment upfront, however you’ll receive no additional bills throughout the year.

Our other option is a Fixed Price Plan combined with our Budget Plan. It means your propane pricing is set at a fixed price, so you won’t pay more if prices go up. When you combine our Fixed Price with our Budget Plan option, we’ll then spread your bills into even, monthly payments.
This helps keep you better protected against price spikes as the markets move, and you never have to worry about what you pay each month.
