Prepare Your Property for Delivery
To ensure a safe and efficient propane delivery, it’s important to prepare your property ahead of time. A few simple steps can go a long way to helping your delivery driver access your tank and give you the fuel you need. If any of the following to-dos don’t apply to your home, simply skip them.
- Unlock any gates or move any barriers leading to your tank.
- Clear snow, leaves, debris, and clutter from around your tank.
- Ensure the path to your tank is free of obstacles.
- Trim back any overgrown shrubs or tree branches.
- Secure your pets indoors.
- Make sure your house number is visible from the road.
Await the Delivery Truck’s Arrival
Though you don’t need to be home during a propane delivery, here’s how a delivery typically works for Kelly Propane & Fuel customers:
- Your driver will arrive and park in your driveway or a nearby roadside area with clear access to your tank.
- A long hose is used to reach your propane tank from the truck.
- Your driver will fill your propane tank to 80% capacity to allow for safe expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. The filling process typically takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your tank and how much propane is needed.
- Your driver will leave behind a fuel ticket on your door or mailbox, showing the amount of propane delivered.
Review Your Fuel Ticket and Payment Options
You can use the information on the ticket to conveniently pay your bill online. For even more peace of mind, you can sign up for autopay and your payment will be processed automatically, with no action needed from you. When you combine this with automatic delivery, it’s the most convenient and worry-free way to manage your propane services.
