Background: Bought house in 4/2009, no wood heat, propane tank from company A in yard and almost empty, call company A, setup account, and buy gas for remainder of '08/09 season and all of '09/10. For '10/11, still no wood heat, company A says they will raise my rate +/-$.40/gallon, and add service charges. I decline company A's service, and hire company B. Company B has a great rate/gallon and sets a new 500 gallon tank for free. Wood heat installed 3 months later (12/2010), burn 25% of originally anticipated propane during '10/11 heating season. Now, company B is threatening a rental fee on their tank due to low usage.
My question is, am I better off paying the rental fee, or should I let them have the tank back (and buy the gas back)? If I let the tank go back I would likely buy a 100# tank and have it filled at the RV/party rental place. My annual propane usage is is only a couple hundred gallons at this point, enough to keep me in hot water and nothing else.
