Just wondering if anyone knows a good internet site that provides the current price for residential propane? It sounds like something that should be easy to find but I can't find it. I can request a propane delivery darn near anytime because I burn wood primarily. If I can time it so that propane prices are low even better for me. Price seems to be a closely guarded secret.

I just call in an ask periodically. Not sure of any site.
Check out this site;https://fuelsonline.ca/, they are based out of Hamilton.
The thing is that some customers get better prices than others, depending on usage and even distance. Or even just asking for a better price below posted can work. Oil was always like that, it was easy to get a discount just by asking. Some companies just plain charge more too, for instance out this way Superior is always much higher than P38.
So I wouldn't put much faith in websites myself. Phone and talk to a live body.
Cheers
OK thanks guys. Wasn't aware you could negotiate a little on the price.
Just to confirm that, the supplier I deal with when I told him that I could get my furnace oil for less from the outfit for which I posted the link, just said that yes he can sell the oil for the same price, [dropped by .10 cts. per liter] especially when I also said that their trucks drive by my place quite often.Quote:

Not sure that negotiating would work for me since my tank is a rental with FreeGas Co in Niagara. Do you guys own your tanks? And if so, how does that work with certifications and recertification etc?

I'm in the same boat LowBank. Leased tanks from UPI. I guess what i was wondering about was the historical price of propane over a year. I would assume that filling up during the peak of the heating season would be a lot more expensive than say June or July. I was shocked to get a price of 0.63 cents last June. I had the fillup by the time I realized it was expensive.
My firend just uses 3 100lb tanks.. makes a weekly trip to costco with a tank.... (or when needed) saves him a tonne... no delivery etc.

I would be interested in his annual costs and if hes realy saving that much when all is said and done
He says it saves him the delivery charges.... and rental of the big green tank. Thibk he said he's between 800-1k a year... but also keeps his 1200sq ft bungalow at 18cQuote:

That really doesnt seem worth it, or the numbers are off. My main floor is 22 during the day and 21 at night, my basement fluctuates between 18 when we're not down there and 20 when we are running the propane fireplace.Quote:

Out this way Port Perry area, I see a lot of people using the 100 lb tanks that heat their house with propane. The cost to refill a 100 lb tank on the island is $65:00 We switched over to Natural Gas when they put the lines through some time ago...
76 cents/L this year, up 10 cents from last year, thank you carbon tax.
$0.03/litre for the carbon taxhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...31e35a3ce3.jpg

Carbon tax.......................it must be working as it is really cold outside, no more global warming..... WTG Liberals
We have a 1000l tank that we own. Fill it up maybe twice a winter with Fuels. We keep the house around 18 24/7. I am finishing the basement this winter with spray foam it should help
