How can I lower or better manage my propane costs?
Propane prices naturally rise and fall throughout the year, but choosing the right pricing and delivery options can make your fuel expenses more predictable. Here are a few ways Nebraska homeowners, farmers, and businesses can better plan for propane costs.
1. Consider a Pre-Buy Contract
If available, a pre-buy contract lets you purchase propane at an agreed-upon price before the heating season. This can provide greater price certainty when market prices fluctuate.
2. Spread Costs With Budget Billing
Budget billing divides your estimated annual propane costs into more consistent monthly payments, making it easier to plan your household or business budget throughout the year.
3. Choose Automatic Delivery
Running out of propane can lead to emergency deliveries and unnecessary stress. Automatic delivery schedules refills based on your usage, helping ensure you have propane when you need it.
4. Monitor Your Propane Usage
Understanding how much propane you use each year can help you choose the right pricing program, anticipate seasonal needs, and avoid unexpected fuel costs.
Budget Contract
Spread your estimated propane costs across 11 equal monthly payments instead of receiving larger bills during periods of higher usage.
Your payment is calculated using estimated propane usage, your account balance and a locked-in propane price.
Best for: Customers who want more predictable monthly expenses.
100% Prepaid Contract
Lock in your propane price by paying for your contracted propane before the heating season begins.
This option is available for contracts of at least 500 gallons and requires Keep Full delivery status.
Best for: Customers who want to pay upfront and secure their contract price.
Keep Full Service
Let Otte Oil monitor your usage and schedule deliveries before your tank runs low.
Keep Full customers receive a $0.10-per-gallon discount compared with Call In customers and may avoid additional charges associated with after-hours.
Best for: Customers who want automatic deliveries and less responsibility.
