Gift Cards for Gallons

We've got your back.

Once again, I find myself in the unenviable position of having my life being a warning to others. I slipped on some ice on December 1st and broke my ankle. After surgery and under x-ray, my ankle resembles the hardware section of the Do It Best Center. I’m hoping to be back on my feet in a couple of weeks with a great scar to help my street cred and a dull story to tell if anyone asks how I got it.

Slipping on the ice is one of the hazards of living in this climate. Please keep your driveways safe for our delivery personnel and make sure the path to the tank is clear of snow and debris. Things under the snow become hazards for our folks, so keeping a clear path to the tank could prevent an incident like mine. Even boot cleats don’t help if you step on a sheet of tin under the snow.

If you haven’t heard, the supply of propane is tight due to issues on the pipelines feeding propane to Wisconsin. Through the relationships that we have developed with propane suppliers over the years, plus a couple of new ones this year, our storage tanks are remaining well supplied, which means so are our customers’ tanks. Our delivery professionals have been putting in long hours to make sure we keep our customers warm. On an average day, we’ve got 22 delivery trucks on the road delivering a total of 117,000 gallons. We’ve got a great staff that keep the propane flowing. You’ve picked the right company.

Thank you for your business and I hope 2026 is a great year for you. And don’t slip on the ice!

Spring has officially sprung. Those April showers didn’t just bring May flowers. It brought in calls to the energy division that flooding on some of our customer’s property tipped over their propane tanks. The first thing propane tanks do when the water gets high enough for them to float is roll over. This rollover can allow liquid to reach the vapor valve. The last thing you want coming through a propane line and traveling to your house is propane liquid. It can cause a pressure surge, which over-pressurizes the piping, regulators and appliance valves. This can cause leaks and a potentially very dangerous situation.
