This winter is turning out to be another expensive energy season, but at Styer we are committed to bringing you honest, competitive pricing like always. With prices soaring across the energy industry, it is important now more than ever to make sure your home is using propane efficiently so price fluctuations affect you as little as possible.

Plan ahead for the winter season

Each year we offer our Pre-Buy Program which guarantees a price for a certain amount of propane. When our customers sign up for the Pre-Buy Program they commit to purchasing a certain amount of propane and we commit to charging no more than the price per gallon you agreed to. So, this means that if the prices go up during the season you will still pay the same amount per gallon! This is a great way to make your energy bills more manageable throughout the season. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook for announcements.

We also offer a 12 month budget plan that start in May of the current year. This plan allows customers to make monthly payments on their account, which should be more affordable than a full delivered amount. If you want to learn more about our budget plan option, click the button below or call our offices to discuss.

Keeping the Heat

Most houses are full of small holes and gaps, that could be the culprit of your rising energy bill. These gaps could be in the foundation, around the doors and windows, and in the attic. Finding those air leaks in your house could help keep the heat inside your home. Another way to make sure you are efficiently heating your space is to make sure your house has proper insulation. With insufficient or aging insulation, it is going to be very difficult to keep the heat inside you home.

Get Smart!

Many homeowners are opting out of the traditional programmable thermostats and getting a smart thermostat. Why? The main reason being, it can cut your energy use by 10 to 12 percent! These smart thermostats track your temperature preferences and patterns so that it can lower and raise your home’s temperature. It even knows when to use less heating and cooling when the house is empty and more when you’re home. And the best feature is that it’s done automatically, so there is no effort needed by you.

We hope you all had a nice holiday season surrounded by family and loved ones, and we wish you all happy and healthy New Year!

As far as winter weather is concerned, ours has been pretty mild so far! Up North they have already had their first snow, so we know that it is not too far away at this point. Maybe this holiday season will bring Jack Frost along with it.

In the evenings we have been having some colder temperatures and as the temperature continues to drop, your home will use more propane. If you are a will-call customer, remember to request fuel delivery when your tanks are at 35% (or anywhere below). Don’t wait until your tank is at risk of running out of propane. Nobody likes having the shivers with a full belly of turkey!

We want to remind all our customers once that winter weather hits, our drivers cannot safely deliver to driveways that are not passable. If a driveway has a significant amount of uncleared snow and ice, especially if it is on an incline, please be aware that our drivers will not make a delivery until conditions change. Additionally, we ask any customers expecting a delivery to please clear snow from the tank covers prior to a drivers arrival. For those who have underground tanks, we kindly ask you to mark your tanks with a stick or flag so that our drivers can easily recognize when then get to your property for a propane delivery. We would also appreciate it if customers would please shovel a path to the tank or tank fill so that our drivers have an opportunity to easily find and fill your propane as they make their way to all customers during times of rough weather.

We thank all of our customers for helping us ensure safe deliveries year after year and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Those fall temperatures are setting in and we are getting into our busiest time of the year. Once that first cold snap hits, our phones ring nonstop until Easter! Here at Styer Propane, we want you to know that we are here for you and your family all winter long. You can turn to us for all of your propane needs during the cold season and all year round. We have you covered every step of the way. From Installation of new lines and tanks to timely fuel delivery, you can count on us to provide personalized quality service.

We know that you won’t forget about the extra hour of sleep this weekend, but is there something else you should remember? Whether you set your clocks back on Saturday night or Sunday morning, let this serve as a reminder to check the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home. If the batteries are dead, they are of no use in an emergency!

And last but not least, Happy Halloween! We hope that everyone has a safe night out and gets lots of treats. Please be extra aware of trick-or-treaters as your are driving home from work today.

From how we store and deliver your propane to how we operate our trucks, there are countless safety regulations that we are required to follow. In order to keep our customers and team members safe, we ensure that safety regulations are followed every step of the way. We stay up to date on any changes or modifications to regulations so that our emphasis on safety remains constant.

Here are some important safety tips for what to do in a situation where you smell propane gas:

• Avoid Open Flames and Sparks – Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do no operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
• Evacuate the Area – Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
• Shut Off the Propane – Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane take if it is safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it to the right (clockwise).
• Report the Leak. From a neighbor’s home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. If you can’t reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department. Do Not Return to the Building or Area until your propane retailer determines that is safe to do so.
• Get Your System Checked. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, your propane retailer or a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.

If you have any questions about your account or are interested in setting up an account, contact a member of the Styer Propane team at (610) 458-8389.

It may not feel like it outside, but winter is right around the corner. Just like bears preparing for hibernation, we must make sure that our homes are ready for the cold. Getting your heating system regularly maintained will save you money on fuel costs and save you the headache of broken-down heating system mid-winter. Here in the Delaware Valley the first frost typically comes in early October and that will be here before you know it. We always recommend that homeowners have their heating system maintained annually by a trained HVAC specialist. Your propane furnace depends on it!

In preparation for the cold months, it is essential that you have a dependable propane service. With our Pre-Buy program our customers not only save money, but also receive personalized quality service. We would like to remind all our ‘will call’ customers to call us when your gauge reads 30% to schedule a delivery. The deadline to sign up for our Pre-Buy Program is September 30^th or while supplies lasts. Learn more about our Pre-Buy Program and sign up today before it’s too late!

In the world of propane there are a few different tanks that you can choose from, and all depends on how you use propane. The right size tank will be dependent on the size of your home, the appliances that use propane, and your geological location. Here in the Delaware Valley, we experience colder temperatures in the winter, which means you will go through propane much quicker. So, if you are using propane to heat your home throughout the winter, we recommend opting for a larger tank.  

Fun Fact: Similar to water, propane expands when heat is added to it. The difference? With the same temperature increase, propane will increase in volume nearly 17 times greater than water! To allow for expansion Propane tanks are only able to be filled to 80%.

1000 Gallon Propane Tank

This tank holds up to 800 gallons of propane when it is full. If you have a larger home or your home appliances all run on propane, this is the right size tank for you!

500 Gallon Propane Tank

This size tank is mainly used for heating homes but is also perfect for homes that have 2-3 propane appliances. These appliances could be space heaters, generators, or hot water heaters. This tank holds 400 gallons of propane when full.

250 Gallon Propane Tank

Holding 200 gallons of propane, this tank is ideal for homes that use propane as the source for their supplemental heating. This tank would also work for homes that use propane for 2 home appliances such as water heaters, pool heaters, or generators.

120 Gallon Propane Tank

The 120-gallon propane tank, also know as the 420 lb. propane tank, works for homes that uses 1-2 residential appliances.

As a propane company, it can be tempting to talk about this weekend as the unofficial start to the grilling and pool season. Pools are opening and grills are getting uncovered, so it is the perfect time to take that first dip or flip that first burger. We know it’s exciting! The temperatures are rising, and the grass is getting greener, but it is incomplete to talk about this weekend without mentioning the real meaning of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is a time to reflect and honor those who have sacrificed their lives for this country. There is no greater sacrifice than to lay one’s life down for another, and it is a debt that we can never repay. The brave soldiers of this country have given us our freedoms and it is our duty to exercise and uphold them. At Styer Propane we value the hard work and strive to exercise our rights and freedoms as Americans. Everyday we live our lives the way we do because of the brave soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It is important to take this opportunity to remember the men and women who have given so much for this country.

Just a reminder that our offices will be closed on Monday in observance of the Memorial Day holiday and will be back open at our regular time on Tuesday, May 31^st.
