Heating oils and propane > The advantages of propane

" We switched to propane for cooking, hot water and drying clothes. Our electric bill is down to $25 a month." - Elisabeth Paine

  • An ultra-efficient, versatile fuel that saves you money
    • Heating hot water with propane can cost you less than half of what you're paying for electric hot water.
    • Propane is an efficient way to heat rooms that cannot be connected to your existing heating system. (An addition? The room over the garage?) A high-efficiency propane system can cost you less than half of what you'd pay for electric baseboard heat.
  • The more propane you use, the lower your price per gallon.
  • We have a reliable supply. We have one of the largest propane storage capacities in Maine, as well as capacity in New Hampshire.
  • Our expertise is available to you
    • Our certified technicians undergo continuous training to keep pace with evolving technologies.
    • If you have any questions about propane, please call us toll-free at 1-888-665-2727. Keeping you informed is part of our job.

Installing or switching is easy

If you are installing propane for the first time, we perform a free site inspection. Our sales staff will need to furnish information to our install crew such as the placement of the propane tank, length of piping, the location of the appliance, and other necessary information. We'll then supply you with an installation date and you'll be up and running in no time.

Switching to Downeast from your current supplier is simple. At no charge, a salesperson will briefly inspect your tank(s) and piping to make sure it is installed properly. He or she will work out the details with you, and schedule the switch.

We know that safety is important to our customers, so at the time of the installation or switch we will perform a complete safety gas check on your system.
