Automatic vs. Will Call: Which Propane Delivery Option is Right For You?

Jan 27, 2020

Many customers aren’t sure whether they should choose automatic or will call propane delivery. Once they understand the benefits and drawbacks of each, most prefer automatic, here’s why.

The Benefits of Automatic Propane Delivery

The main attraction of automatic delivery is that customers don’t have to check their propane levels and manually request deliveries. Superior Propane has the technology and information, including usage history and temperature patterns, to be able to predict when you need propane and will automatically schedule your delivery. It’s the most convenient way to get propane, giving customers more time for what’s important.

A Common Customer Question:

If I select the automatic delivery option, how can I properly budget for my propane if I don’t know when Superior is coming to fill up my tank?

Superior Answer:

Superior Propane offers an Equal Payment Plan to give customers control over their energy budget. Monthly payments are spread out evenly over 12 months so that you always know your amount owing. Your payments are adjusted twice per year based on your consumption.

For even more control over your account, add a SMART* Tank™ sensor to your propane tank. You will receive tank level notifications on your mobile device and through your mySUPERIOR.ca account. Additionally, you will be notified when your delivery has been automatically scheduled and after we have filled your propane tank.

Customers who pair our automatic delivery schedule with a SMART Tank sensor enjoy the ultimate in peace-of-mind because they are eligible for Superior Propane’s No-Run-Out-Guarantee.

"Very satisfied with the service. I get an email notification of the tank level, automatic refill when required and payments are automatic."
