Oregon Propane Prices

Overall, yes. As the United States gets better at producing propane from more sources, propane prices are falling a couple cents year to year.

Propane is measured in gallons, not pounds. Call us for our current propane price per gallon. Depending on current supply, how much you need, and time of year, the price can fluctuate wildly.

The propane is the same cost, but there are less fees associated with owning your own tank. You won't be paying rental fees, so it definitely saves you money in the long run. 

Some propane suppliers do charge more for propane instead of adding the rental fee onto your bill. We believe in total transparency, so we don't sneak in charges like that.

Propane is the cheapest in the summertime. Warm weather has people outside and not using their furnace, leading to an increase in supply. So if you have extra tanks, summertime is the time to stock up on propane!

There are a few ways to make your propane last longer. Most of them ensure its efficient usage.

• Make sure your attic is well insulated.
• Install weather stripping on all doors and windows.
• Switch from single-pane to double-pane windows to retain heat.

• Shut your heat off while not at home.
• Turn the thermostat down by 10%.
• Keep your heater vents clean.
• Keep your dryer vents clean.
• Switch to a tankless on-demand water heater—and never run out of hot water again!!! Yes, it's as amazing as it sounds.
• Properly maintain tank safety to ensure there are no leaks.

Propane is cheaper than electric for heating your home. Although electric furnaces may cost less initially, they will cost more in the long run because electricity is so expensive, and electric furnaces break often.
