Mass also and am trying to find a supplier. My plumber can't get the tanks and suppliers don't want to get involved, so I'm looking to NH to buy a tank. It sounds like a pretty big racket if you ask me. I’m a builder in W. Mass also and am trying to find a supplier.

I did move into a house where the propane tank is owned by the propane company. I also have a 30 year old house so I plan to change over to old. With Bioheat becoming an option and natural gas not in my area, oil seems to be the only viable option. Also the savings are huge based on my calculations.

Here in Western Mass, the propane companies own many of the in ground tanks in the yard (like a lease) and only the owner of the tank will fill it.So we are forced to go with a company that charges us >70c per gallon more than the open market. No other companies will fill this in ground tank and we are trapped. They will only fill their own or customer-owned tanks. We use > 1000 gallons per year, so do the math. I looked last week and the open market price for LP was $2.35, company XX was charging their customers $2.49, our company, EO Osterman, is charging us $3.03!!!Monopoly in our area. Check yours and see who owns the tank and liability. If you did not build your own house, you may be surprised to learn that you do not own your propane tank and may be forced to deal with a single supplier. I am thinking about converting from LP to oil to get out of this price fix. One more thing to consider is the source of fuel.
