Amerigas Gotten Any Better

TheProfessor · 12-07-2024, 07:22 AM

Purchasing a residential tank can be a tad difficult. At least a few years ago.

The advantage is that one can go with any delivery company. But normally, one has to open an account.

One propane person told me that the propane tanks are all leased. That a seperate company owns all residential propane tanks. Not sure if this interpretation is true or not.

Amerigas for me anyway - I had to pay a yearly rental fee.

Yes, I'm 99% sure the tank was purchased from Amerigas it's been years now. You can order deliveries from anybody when you own your own tank however as another poster stated you may need to open an account. Opening an account is easy probably 10 minutes per company online if you want to do it yourself. If opening it online doesn't work of course you can just call the particular company and do it over the phone.

I stick with Amerigas cause we "supposedly" get a preferred rate in Suissevale, if it's cheaper and how much I don't know I can't be bothered spending time investigating everybody's prices, I do not burn that much gas it isn't my primary source of heat.

Each propane company has to enter your home, check all connections, record all serial numbers, and of course checck tank outside.

Ever since the house blew up in Krainewood, the propane companies have been quite extensive in their analysis.

Ah yes now that you mention it I guess I did need a s/n or something off the tank when I opened a second account with someone else. I do not recall a special visit probably checked everything out when the delivery was made.
