SERVING YOU WITH ENERGY
Written on: April 28, 2025
If you’ve ever run out of propane, you know how much of a hassle it is. It’s more than just an inconvenience: an emergency fill-up costs extra, and you’ll also need to pay for a leak test to ensure safety. Even letting your tank get too low can cause problems. When propane levels drop too low, air can get into the system, leading to potentially expensive damage. As a general rule, you shouldn’t let your tank’s propane level fall below 30%.
But who has time to constantly check propane tank levels? We get it. The good news is, it’s easy to ensure you always have enough propane in your tank to avoid runouts and low-pressure issues. Read on to learn how to cross not one, but two chores off your to-do list for good.
Our Autofill service is a customer favorite and a great way to prevent runouts. It’s exactly what it sounds like: we automatically deliver propane when you need it. This free service eliminates the need to check your tank’s level or call to schedule a delivery.
Sounds like magic, right? So, how does it work?
It’s not a crystal ball. We use a proven industry method to calculate your fuel usage. Our algorithm is based on your past usage and average daily temperatures, ensuring we can fill your tank right on time.
Many of our customers love the peace of mind that comes with our automatic delivery service. But Autofill relies on fairly consistent propane use. If your usage varies—say, for a second home, or if you travel frequently, or only use propane for seasonal appliances like a fireplace—this might not be the best solution for you.
That’s why we offer real-time accuracy through our wireless propane tank monitoring service.
Wireless tank monitors track the level of propane in your tank in real time and transmit your usage via wireless cellular technology. When the tank reaches a preset level, the monitor alerts both us and you via the mobile app.
Along with timely alerts, the app also gives you more control and insight. You can use it to track and adjust your monthly energy consumption—helping you save on energy costs.
If you prefer to monitor your tank levels yourself, it’s important to check your gauge regularly to avoid running too low. The best time to call for a delivery is when your tank reaches about a quarter full. This gives us ample time to schedule a delivery before you run out.
No matter which option you choose, we still believe in old-fashioned customer service. Our friendly, local customer service representatives are always happy to take your call and answer any questions.
