Winter Guidelines to Make Your Propane Delivery Easy and Fast

Read our winter delivery guidelines to make your next delivery hassle-free!If you follow this preparation list, you will have trouble-free gas delivery during the winter season. During the winter, please have a clear path for the delivery driver and his truck. Each one of these 4 guidelines has to do with accessing your propane tank.

If we cannot access your tank, we cannot deliver your propane. Prepare for winter by:

  1. MARKING UNDERGROUND TANKS
    Prior to snowfall, mark your tank with a stick or flag.
    Most drivers are responsible the same route. However, an alternate driver may cover your route.
  2. KEEPING DRIVEWAYS CLEAR and SANDED
    Vehicles, debris, snow, ice, tree branches, and overgrown bushes can all impede your delivery from taking place. Note that truck dimensions are 10 feet high, 10 wide and 30 feet long (minimum dimensions)—larger than the average SUV.
  3. PROVIDING A PATH TO YOUR TANK
    Drivers do not carry tools to dig out tanks.
  4. AVOID PLOWING SNOW AGAINST TANKS
    Snow and ice against the tank can adversely affect how the fuel feeds into your home. In particular,
    – Icicles on gas line can crimp or break the line.
    – Debris or Garbage can gather snow, ice, and moisture near a tank, line, or meter.

DELAYED DELIVERIES AND SERVICE APPOINTMENTS – during inclement weather, we may close the office and reopen when roads are passable. We’ll make every attempt to deliver to your home or office. We will call you to reschedule any service appointments.

CALL EARLY IF YOU ARE A WILL-CALL ACCOUNT, please allow 5-7 days for us to make your delivery. Avoid emergency fuel delivery fees (driver rerouting or after-hours) by planning ahead. We will do our best to accommodate your request. Become an automatic customer, it’s free! Let us do the work…call the office and ask how to customize your automatic-delivery.

Safety is our number one concern. Our drivers and office staff will determine if a delivery can be made on a case-by-case basis. Call if you have questions.

    I thought your tip to mark underground tanks prior to snowfall with a stick or a flag. You also said that you should always keep your driveway clear so that it doesn’t interfere with your delivery. I think it’s a good idea to choose a propane delivery company that offers deals on deliveries for their loyal customers.
