The amount of propane that a house goes through on a yearly basis varies from home to home. In fact, your annual propane usage could be very different from your neighbor’s annual propane usage, even if your homes are the exact same size.
There are multiple factors that impact the amount of propane that a homeowner goes through. This includes how many appliances you are powering with propane, the size, age, and condition of these appliances, and the size of your home. If you are using propane to fuel a home heating system, you also have to factor in how cold and long the winter is and how well insulated your home is.
Considering how many elements affect how much propane you may need, you may be asking yourself how you can accurately estimate how much fuel to order for your own home.
Well, Sierra Propane is here to help you figure this out.
There are some general estimates that help give homeowners an idea of how much propane they will use annually. This information can help you plan for your fuel deliveries and help ensure that you have the supply you need.
Here is a general guideline for propane usage:
Knowing how much propane to order is just one piece of making sure you have enough fuel on hand. You also have to know when and how far in advance you need to place your fuel order so that you can prevent a fuel run-out.
If you are a homeowner who likes to check your own propane levels and order fuel on a will-call basis, keep in mind that Sierra Propane can generally complete these deliveries within a week to 10 days after you place your order. We recommend that you contact us when your tank is around 30% full.
Alternatively, customers can take advantage of our Auto Fill delivery option. Through this service, Sierra Propane uses weather forecasts and the types of propane appliances in your home to determine your usage. Based on this data, we can then determine when you’re going to need fuel and plan your next delivery accordingly.
There is no additional fee to participate in our Auto Fill option, and customers do not need to purchase extra fuel. Auto Fill customers even pay a lower rate for fuel than Will Call customers do.
No matter how much propane you need for your home here in Arizona or New Mexico, Sierra Propane can get you the fuel you need when you need it.
