Cost Saving Payment Programs:
- The Pre-Buy Program guarantees delivery
of propane at a fixed price for a specific quantity throughout
the year. It allows you to buy
fuel in advance
at a fixed price for the number of gallons you wish to purchase
(plus tax) so you are totally protected against price increases.
We provide you historic usage information to help you decide the
amount of
fuel
you wish
to pre-buy. Enrollment in this program takes place in mid-summer.
Since this program's inception in 1998, the locked-in price
has been less than the average price of gas during the heating
season every
year
except one.
During 2006/2007, Pre-Buy customers saved
an average of $0.10/gallon over the heating season. So,
taking advantage of the Pre-Buy
Program can
provide cost savings and take the worry out of erratic fuel bills during
peak heating months.
- The Budget-Pay Program allows your
payment each month to remain the same, taking the worry out of erratic
fuel bills during the peak
heating months. Monthly budget payments, due the 10th of each
month, are calculated based on your estimated annual usage, anticipated
price per gallon, percentage of tank supply at the start of the plan,
and any credit balance carried over from the previous year. The price
of propane for customers taking
advantage
of the Budget-Pay Program is capped
to a maximum increase of $0.10/gallon for the budget period.
Your monthly Budget-Pay amount can
be automatically deducted from either your checking or savings
account. The payment
is deducted on the 10th or 22nd of each month. If these
days fall on a holiday or weekend, the payment is deducted
on the first business day following the holiday or weekend.
- The Automatic Fill Program removes
all worry about running out of fuel by eliminating the need to check
the tank level and call for
a delivery. Our computer system keeps track of "degree days" which is a function
of outside temperature and wind velocity. The computer then signals the
appropriate time to schedule your delivery based on estimated usage due
to "degree days". At the time of delivery, we top off your
tank. Automatic fill customers are
given a reduced rate for their gas
throughout the
season, providing a cost savings in addition to the convenience
of automatic fill.
