Delivery Frequency

At Blue Ridge Propane, we keep all of our customers on a “keep full” basis. This means that every time our truck runs the designated route near your home, your tank will be topped off automatically. In the winter months, we deliver monthly; then as the weather outside gradually warms, we don’t come by and fill as often since most customers aren’t utilizing their propane appliances with as much frequency. Fall fill ups begin in August/September of each year leading us back into the regular, monthly winter delivery schedule. For our clients that utilize propane for daily tasks, such as water heaters and clothes dryers, we have this information on file, and can easily identify the customers who will need additional warm weather/summer deliveries. We can also look at your past history to determine if you are on track with your typical usage. Below are some important dates on the Blue Ridge Propane calendar that you can use for future reference.
