Talked to Amerigas and they stated they have a billing/computer error and their pricing would be adjusted down $110 dollars for our fill. $3.86 went to $2.99. They were helpful, but stated they are would not be notifying clients about the billing error unless people called and inquired, and only then they would adjust the bill. So if anyone has their service, I would suggest double-checking with them and ensuring that your bill was correct for the last month or so.
Talked to EPG today and they were very helpful. Their current pricing is $3.15/Gallon. Pricing is very seasonal. We will schedule to fill in Autumn before the cold hits and take advantage of the lower pricing. Switching providers appears to be very easy, and they will transfer the gas to the new tank at no cost. Now finding out the impact of ending services with Amerigas. Does anyone have any history on ending services?
The required bearing areas of the footings depend on the nature of the soil and the load on each post from the deck. I don’t remember the specifics, but we did the calculations for our deck. What I do remember is that with the snow-load (including what may slide off the roof and/or accumulate from drifting), the design load for the deck was about 300 pounds/square-foot!
The next BTV Neighborhood Watch Meeting will be on January 31 at 4pm at the Association office at the Rec Center on Sierra Parkway.
Thank you Larry and Allen! I will probably go 24 inches deep because that is what I used to do for a bit more stability with a few pieces of rebar in the footing even though it may not be necessary.
It’s possible that the price of propane spiked because there is a shortage of propane in the mid-west and other areas due to the extreme cold.
Out last bill from Ebbetts Pass Gas was for $2.59 a gallon. They provide excellent service and are convenient to call if you need your furnace or gas water heater serviced. Their service prices are reasonable also.
I’ve found this link to have quite a bit of useful information: http://www.propane-prices.com/ You’ll find the survey of checkpropaneprices.com on about the 3rd link. If you look at it you’ll see wide range of prices at any given time. I was thinking that one could buy a bigger propane tank and fill it up in the summer when prices are generally lower, but I don’t think it is worth the trouble. In the end it’s like playing in commodities betting on futures. If you buy your own tank you could call around at any given time to see who has the best price, but again, that’s probably not worth the effort.
Our last invoice from Mosbaugh Properties Inc./Ebbetts Pass Gas Service (209-795-1391) was delivered 12/31:
101 gallon x 2.89/per gallon = 291.89 + sales tax 21.89 =313.78. EBG services have been excellent when we’ve had to call for a propane fill due to an extended stay during cold weather or even routine fill-ups.
The lower pricing is what we got from EP Gas as a quote. The other local provider with our higher pricing has only 1 Yelp review and it isn’t favorable. I can’t believe they would try and get almost a dollar a gallon more, but that is what we just got charged ($3.86/gallon).
I just checked our last bill, $2.54 per gal. Here is the number EB Gas, you may want to call them to check on their pricing. 209 795-4957.
We recently received our propane bill (1/9) after a 130 gallon fill. We would like to know if $3.86 a gallon is in line? A relative called and we were quoted under $3/Gallon from another provider. Is our current company charging a higher rate than other providers? Any feedback on current pricing is appreciated, I understand that the prices fluctuate.
