When Should I Buy Propane In Pennsylvania?

Written on: August 26, 2019

As another heat wave descends on Pennsylvania, leaving a sweaty mess in its wake, you’re probably not thinking a whole lot about buying propane gas.
But maybe you should be.
In summer, demand for propane is lower than it is in heating season – but once the first cool nights start to arrive here in PA, you’ll be joining the thousands of Pennsylvania homeowners who will all need propane at the same time. That demand could (and usually does) cause propane prices to spike – which can make buying propane in the summer a good investment.

More ways to save on propane

Of course when it comes to propane prices, nothing is certain, since so many unpredictable factors influence the price of propane gas (the weather and the global economy, to name two).
That’s why Ace-Robbins offers services like our EZ Pay Plan to help keep your propane bills more manageable (you can learn more about the details of this convenient service here).
If saving money is the name of the game for you (as it is for most smart people), there are many ways to do it when it comes to heating your home – by making your building more energy efficient, for example (we’ll talk about ideas for that in future blogs).

Other ideas for propane savings include:

• Staying organized. Avoid purchasing your propane at the last minute, in case we can’t get to you immediately. With Automatic Propane Delivery from Ace-Robbins, you’ll avoid this problem altogether.
• Maintain your heating equipment. Professionally maintained heating equipment uses less propane while providing more comfort and better performance. Keeping up with annual tune-ups also means your heating equipment will run more reliably through the long Pennsylvania winter.
• Upgrade old heating equipment before heating season starts. The efficiency of a propane furnace or boiler drops considerably over the course of its lifetime; in fact, a 12- to 15-year-old oil fired system could be running at less than two-thirds the efficiency of a new system. If your heating system is well into its second decade, it pays to upgrade to a high efficiency heating system.
