AmeriGas

AmeriGas is a retail propane distributor serving residential and commercial customers, a subsidiary of UGI Corporation. Its services cover bulk propane delivery, tank installation, tanks for lease or purchase, system maintenance and seasonal service, leak checks, tank recertification, and grill cylinder purchase, exchange, and delivery.

A new installation begins with a call to a representative. A site survey may be needed to decide where the tank goes and what size it should be, and the company says that survey usually happens within a week of first contact; where no survey is needed, installation is typically scheduled within seven business days. A licensed professional must install the tank and a resident or company employee must be present. The company also provides guidance on local permits and paperwork.

Tank options run from portable cylinders through residential sizes such as the 500-gallon tank used for home heating and two to three appliances, up to commercial tank sizes. Commercial and agricultural programs cover temporary and commercial heat, forklifts, construction equipment, crop drying, poultry brooding, refueling stations, and AutoGas fleet conversion, and the company offers national accounts, payment plans, and online account services.

The site states that AmeriGas has over 60 years of experience providing propane installation services. Pricing is by the gallon and by contract and is not published, so a quote, the delivery schedule, and whether the tank is leased or purchased are worth settling in writing.
