What Is Automatic Delivery for Propane Gas?

If you own a home, you’ve always got a lot on your mind – especially during the busy fall and winter months, when school, work, and eventually the holidays take up so much of your time and attention.

When you’re on the go from dawn to dusk and beyond, the last thing you want to think about is managing your propane deliveries. Unfortunately, you have to if you want to avoid a no-heat emergency, or any of the other costly or potentially even dangerous consequences of a propane run-out.

Unless you choose automatic propane delivery from Williamson Gas, that is.

You might not know a lot about automatic propane delivery – yet – but trust us when we say it’s one of the best ways to enjoy FREE peace of mind in your Sampson, Bladen, or Duplin County home.

Here are some automatic delivery basics to get you started. If you have any questions or want to sign up for the service, contact us today.

Williamson Gas automatic propane delivery Q&A

1. How does automatic delivery work?
   With automatic propane delivery, our teams estimate the timing of your propane delivery based on your past usage and a “degree day” formula, which takes into account current weather conditions (one degree day is counted for each degree below 65 that the average temperature reaches in your location on a given day; for example, if the average temperature is 35 degrees, 30 degree days are added to fuel your estimate).
   When your propane tank reaches about one-quarter full, we will schedule a delivery; you won’t need to call or even look at your fuel gauge.
2. Why choose automatic delivery rather than Will Call?
   With Will Call delivery, you are responsible for tracking your fuel levels and scheduling your propane delivery. You may also have to wait for a refueling in periods of high demand. With automatic delivery, you don’t have to manage your fuel or wait for a delivery; it will be scheduled based on your need.
3. Why is automatic propane delivery free?
   Automatic delivery is offered at no additional cost because it benefits us, too. If we know when you need propane gas, we can schedule our delivery routes more efficiently – which means we can serve more customers and avoid having to send out crews to deal with emergency run-outs.
