I'm dumping Ferrel gas and am looking at the different suppliers in my area.

 

Anyone have any dealing with Eastern Propane or Suburban or perhaps someone else?

 

Ferrel gas was charging me rental on my OWN 50gallon tank and when I refused to pay it 2 years in a row, they took my tank away and brought a different one "for safety" and started charging me rent. Then to top it off, if I don't buy enough gas in a year, they charge me $150 on top of almost $5/gallon. Guess what? I was 1 gallon under the minimum purchase, so I had to pay tank rental($5/mon I think), $150 plus $245 for 50 gallons of propane. Scum.

 

Anyway, I'm getting a bigger tank because i'm adding a boiler and a whole house generator and the last company I'm spending another penny with is Ferrel gas.

Certainly sounds like you got screwed. One thing, though - aren't there regs that say a tank must be replaced at certain intervals? We use H&H in East Windsor. Good service and I don't recall seeing a tank rental on the bill. We, too, use very little propane as only our range and our grill are hooked into the system. Good luck with your search.

 

Adios,

My sister had Suburban for years and was happy with them?

 

Ask for Hank....

Every single time I think or hear the word propane, I hear Hank hill "Energy efficient, clean burning propane". heh.

I have used Eastern Propane's services for years to run just my dryer and barbecue, and they have been friendly and reliable. They upgraded my tank a couple of years ago at no cost to me.

Eastern seems to be more local and Suburban seems to be more "corporate". I was looking at Suburban's laundry list of fees, but then Eastern may not list them all on the website. ugh.
