Propane – More Info

Why use propane? Propane is a highly functional “green” product, used for everything from home heating to fueling generators, contractor’s job-site heating, grain drying, hot water tanks, vehicle fleets, and much more. Propane is a far more energy-efficient source than electricity, and it’s also less expensive. New propane equipment is 20-30% more efficient than comparable oil heat. Produced and distributed in the U.S., propane cuts, emissions, and protects the environment. Perhaps the question should be, why not use propane?

Regular Account: Signing up as a Regular account allows our drivers to regularly fill your tank which reduces the risk of running out at inconvenient times.
Cash Discounts: Save 5-cents/gallon if you pay your propane account balance within 10 days of delivery with cash or check. Credit/debit cards do not qualify for this discount.
Summer Fill Discount: Choose to fill your propane tank during the months of June, July or August to receive a deeply discounted price. Reductions are based on low propane usage and lowest market prices during these months which allow Mulgrew Propane to offer reduced prices in addition to the Summer Fill discount.

Residential Payment

Mulgrew Propane offers two convenient payment options: Regular Budget Plan and Direct Pay.

Budget Pay: By signing up as a Regular account, you can choose to go on a payment plan which locks in pricing for a certain amount of propane during the winter season at a set price. Budget Pay establishes a set monthly payment for 12 months from September to August.
Direct Pay: Customers with Direct Pay can sign up to have an electronic payment pulled from their banking account after they’ve had a delivery. This eliminates the need to worry about sending in payments manually or being late sending in a check.

Home Heat

Efficient Energy

Mulgrew Propane is a safe, clean-burning energy choice that instantly provides a system that’s 20 degrees warmer compared to electric heat pumps. An electric water tank can take an hour to completely recover, but propane can do the job in less than 20 minutes. A tankless propane water heater can have an efficiency level as high as 94 percent!

Save Money

Mulgrew Propane is the better pick to save money versus electric. Why? Measured in BTUs, propane systems deliver more heating value than electricity. A propane furnace heats air to about 115-130 °F in short intervals, minimizing your operating costs. Propane furnaces can last 5-10 years longer than electric, saving replacement costs.

Safety

Propane has an incredible safety record as the result of strict regulations set up by the propane industry in cooperation with the National Fire Protection Association. By nature of its built-in safety properties, propane won’t ignite when combined with air until the source of ignition reaches 950 °F. Propane gas is the “green energy” choice — producing less emissions than natural gas and completely non-toxic.
