Go With The Pros At Ace-Robbins

Heating your home is probably the last thing on your mind with the kind of summer we’ve been having here in Tunkhannock – and that’s exactly why you should be thinking about it.
The truth is, we’re now past the halfway point of Summer 2019, and before you know it you’ll be getting the kids ready to go back to school. When that time comes, you’re going to have more important things on your mind than managing your propane deliveries – but how you do it can really impact your quality of life down the road.
Fortunately, making a choice between propane delivery options is simply a matter of giving us a call at 570-232-4081. When you do, we’ll ask you to choose between two options: Automatic Delivery and Will Call.
What’s the difference? Let’s find out.

Automatic Delivery

How it works – With Automatic Delivery, our computer system estimates how much fuel your home will use based on your past use and how cold it is outside. Your Ace-Robbins driver will come at a convenient time for you when your tank gets to be one-quarter full.
Pros

• No tank watching
• No run-outs* or restarts
• No need to call for / schedule a delivery
• Priority service in periods of high demand
• 15-cent per gallon discount if payment is submitted within 10 days

Cons

• You rely on us to schedule your deliveries rather than managing the process yourself (many would consider this a “pro”!)
• *If you make a significant change in your home or lifestyle (build an addition to your home, add a new family member who needs additional heat on in the house, etc.) without letting us know, our computer estimates might be off, resulting in a run-out.

Will Call

How it works – You keep track of your own oil level and call us when you need a delivery.
Pros

• Complete control over the monitoring and delivery call-in schedule for your propane deliveries.

Cons

• A minimum 24-hour notice is needed for a delivery request – more is suggested during a storm or cold snap (a good rule of thumb is to call when the level of your tank reads about 25 percent full).
• Ace-Robbins is not responsible for run-outs if you do not provide enough notice for delivery. In some cases, we can make a same-day emergency propane delivery if you have a run-out or you’re close to running out, but extra charges may apply.

As you can see, Automatic Delivery has some significant advantages over Will Call – a big reason why most of our customers take advantage of this convenient service from Ace-Robbins.
Still, if you prefer to watch the fuel level of their storage tank, that’s no problem – with our large fleet of trucks, we can get fuel quickly and reliably when others can’t!
For reliable propane deliveries in Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, Sullivan, and Wyoming Counties, no one beats the pros at Ace-Robbins. To join the Ace family of customers – or to switch from Will Call to Automatic Delivery – contact us today.
