I understand the volume discount model. But is seems counter intuitive, in a market that is experiencing shortages, that I have to pay more for using less!  |
Same here. The house was built to RBC 2010 specifications and rated 5 stars +. Everything is on propane including the generators. At 2500+ sq feet we burned about 400 gallons. We owned the tanks so changing propane dealers is not an issue. Because of the 5 stars rating we can take advantage of discounts for propane and electricity. We don't burn wood but at some point in time, may install a pellet stove.
