How Do I Switch Propane Providers?
Feb 10, 2025
Switching propane providers can be a straightforward process, we can help:
Determine Tank Ownership: First, find out if you own or lease your propane tank. If you own it, just give us a call, and we can schedule a inspection and your first fill! If you lease your tank from another provider, don’t worry! It just requires one extra step.
Research New Providers: Propane companies come in all sizes and service levels. Most of the largest propane companies are owned by Wall Street investors and serviced from out of state, or even out of country. We always recommend choosing a supplier that is part of your community. 1st Choice Energy Services has been owned and operated by over 5,000 of your neighbors for over 100 years. We're a staple business in several rural communities while still being large enough to ensure you will receive the gas you need when you need it. We have protected supply points all throughout the region. Shortages are rare, but it’s important to use a propane company with enough power in the region to secure gallons when times get tough.
Contact Us: Contact us to set up an account, and receive your first fill discount! Setting up an account will only take a couple of minutes with one of our representatives. You will just need some basic information, such as your name, address, phone number, size of your house, and a credit card. If you know what appliances you have running on propane, that can help with ensuring you get the right tank size. We will find a day and time that works for you to meet your Service Technician to install your new tank, complete an inspection, pressure test your lines, and start service.
Notify Previous Provider: Once your new tank is connected, give your previous supplier a call to come pick up their tank. You shouldn’t have any issues with them picking up their tank in a timely manner.
