  • Spend the home heating season in comfort knowing exactly what your monthly payment will be from September 1 to June 30.

FAQs

    • Should you use less than what we estimated and the payments received exceed the total dollar amount delivered, your June 30 statement will indicate a credit on your account.
  • What happens if I use more than my estimated usage?

    • You do not need to do anything if you do not wish to put your home heat propane or furnace oil on the Equal Payment Plan! If you have not enrolled by August 25, 2023 your original account terms will remain the same (payment due on the 20th of the month following or one of our other payment options).

    • The Equal Payment Plan is separate from the Fixed Price Propane program. The Fixed Price program determines your price for the product while the Equal Payment Plan reflects your monthly payment based on a three-year average.
  • Am I able to reduce my monthly payment?
    • The monthly payment is calculated based on a three-year average of your home heat usage and cannot be lowered. Should our calculation exceed your usage, your July statement will indicate a credit on your account.
  • What happens if my June 30 statement shows a credit?
    • If your June 30 statement shows a credit of $300 or more, your refund will be issued to you automatically. If you have a credit of less than $300, that amount will remain on your account for the next season unless you request that it be returned to you.

  • What happens if my June 30 statement shows a balance due?
