You do get credit for the propane removed.
Then most charge a $75.00 tank removal fee.
Then the new company has to record the model and serial number of every propane appliance that you have.
Then the new propane company will check all "fittings" to make sure that they are up to date.
Lately, I have heard that these propane companies are checking to see if the lines are grounded. Many are not.

So it's probably best to shop around and get one good company and stick with them.
Mine is an underground tank. To change companies you have to get the new supplier to buy the tank from the old supplier, and not everyone will do that. I'll probably buy it back myself next year to facilitate using the Our Town buying coop program.

I was able to negotiate Energy North down 20 cents/gal to $2.62 (I use about 2300 gal/yr). Thanks for the responses.
