Flexible Propane Delivery Options Built Around You
We understand that every property has different energy demands. That’s why we offer two clear delivery paths to ensure you never have to worry about an empty tank.
Automatic Refill (Auto-Fill) – Our Default & Most Popular Option
Let us handle the logistics so you don't have to. With Auto-Fill, we track your fuel levels using one of two precise methods:
- Remote Tank Sensors: If a remote sensor is attached to your fuel gauge, we schedule your deliveries in real-time based on how much gas is left in your tank and your active consumption rate.
- Consumption History: If you don't have a sensor, our advanced scheduling tracks your historical usage patterns alongside local weather data to calculate exactly when you need a top-off.
Will-Call Delivery
Prefer to manage your own schedule? You can contact our Middletown office at any time to switch your account status to Will-Call. With this option, we do not schedule a delivery until you explicitly reach out to us.
- Please Note: Will-Call accounts require a minimum of five business days notice to fit into our routing schedule, and there is a $200 minimum delivery requirement.
Important Note for Will-Call Customers: To protect your system, running completely out of gas requires a mandatory safety check. If you run out of fuel on a Will-Call status, a service restoration fee will apply.
Frictionless Payment & Management Options
Managing your energy bill should be simple. Newport Propane offers multiple convenient ways to pay:
- The Newport Propane Mobile App: Download our official app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to check your balance and pay instantly via credit card, debit card, or ACH withdrawal.
- Online Portal: Securely pay via our website with a card or bank transfer.
- AutoPay: Call us today to store your preferred payment method and automatically process payments right after a delivery or on a fixed day of the month.
- By Phone, Mail, or In-Person: You can call our office, mail a check, or stop by our Middletown location off Coddington Highway to pay via cash, check, card, or ApplePay.
Propane Delivery Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is my tank gauge only reading 80% after a fresh delivery?
Don't worry, you aren't missing fuel! Propane naturally expands as temperature rises. For your absolute safety, our delivery drivers use a specialized filling device to leave a 20% cushion of empty space in the tank, allowing the liquid fuel room to expand safely.
Do I need to be home when the delivery truck arrives?
For standard, routine deliveries, you do not need to be home. All we ask is that you keep a clear, unobstructed path to your propane tank at all times—especially during winter snowstorms. However, if your tank is completely empty, you must be home so our technician can access the residence to perform a mandatory system leak and safety test.
Can I pay a flat monthly fee instead of paying per delivery?
Yes! Depending on your overall fuel usage history and account standing, we can often set you up on a predictable budget plan. Please contact our Operations Manager, Tom, at 401-847-6878 to discuss your options.
