List of propane companies
Only three companies have a national distribution network (i.e., have outlets in all 50 states): Amerigas, Suburban Propane and Ferrellgas. But other companies have good regional, state or local distribution networks. As you search for the right propane company for your home, you should seek to balance how close the company outlet is, how well the company performs in terms of safety and customer care, and what the company offers in terms of cost (propane prices, services, fees, tanks, etc.).
