I checked their rates yesterday and their current rate is $5.97 per gal for propane! Plus the are billing us a rental charge of $155. Just two years ago the rental charge was $95. What a rip off. I guess I'm locked in with Amerigas. Any ideas how to change vendors? The tank would have to be dug up and a new tank installed by another propane vendor.
Broadhopper you mentioned a discount for electric and propane because of your 5 star +rating. Where, may I ask, are you getting these discounts? I would love to participate as well. Thank you...
We switched from Amerigas to Eastern last fall and secured a substantial saving. Amerigas played hardball with Eastern and made them provide a NEW tank to Amerigas, even though their tank in ground was 6 years old. Eastern not only gave them a new tank but then disconnected their regulators and left them on the ground for Amerigas to pick up. The two companies battled it out; I didn't get involved except to call Eastern and sign up for service.
