We live outside the city limits and have propane for cooking and fireplace. Who do you guys recommend to get our propane tank refilled based on cost and service?

Had a very friendly and knowledgeable guy from Pico Propane came out to inspect our propane tank a while ago, but I put in a request on their website last week and haven't heard back.

5 posts, 5 different recommendations. Apparently we're good with propane....and probably propane accessories.

We're with Leon Gas Company on the south end of Robertson county. They've been good to deal with so far (installed and filled a few months ago).

ETA: For the sixth recommendation in now 7 posts...

Symank.


Seconded. Been easy to deal with and very responsive. They have drivers over our way a lot. Got a truck out same day I called.

My first call was to Leon Gas Co. but they said they don't really cross the river on 21 as SE as we are. But if you are closer to OSR might give them a call too. Either way they both are good to me.
We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have, or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, were going to rip out their living G*******d guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun c********** by the bushel-f****** basket. War is a bloody killing business. You've got to spill their blood or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shot them in the guts.

StarTex 800 932-4315
Amerigas 979 778-1673
Sharp 800 932-4315
Suburbarn 936 856-6464
HyPoint 979 272-9203
Symank 936 220-3939

Best time to fill up is October. You are likely gonna get screwed with the cold front approaching next week. It pays to call everyone, I have saved hundreds of dollars in the past shopping for propane.

At least in the past StarTex was the least expensive and their price was always a fixed amount above the spot price you can find here https://ycharts.com/indicators/mont_belvieu_propane_spot_price
Albert has retired but his replacement was good also.
In the past people like amerigas was 4 to 5X the current spot price.
Call them all!

We use symank, every time we order online somehow it doesn't go through??? So I usually call them in the morning and they deliver within 24 hours. If you're happy with their service just call.

Went with Star Tex after a bunch of recommendations from TexAgs about 5 years ago. No complaints at all during our time with them, but I have not shopped pricing.

I paid $3.00/gallon this week to fill up the tank.

Update. I used Symank and they were super easy to deal with. I didn't call around for pricing this time because I just needed it done, so I can't comment on how competitive their rate was. I was happy though.

Thanks for the recommendations

Symank is run locally by the son of J&B owner who sold to Symank. They are all good people and long time community supporters.

How is the tank handled with each of these companies? Do you lease from them or own your own?
