Propane usage and context in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's very cold winters and Northeast cold-climate character shape the role propane plays in the state. Propane is concentrated in rural New Hampshire outside the small natural-gas distribution footprint — propane is the primary or backup heating fuel for a substantial share of New Hampshire homes, with much lower household penetration inside the Manchester, Nashua, Concord and Portsmouth metros where natural-gas distribution is dense.
Supply economics in New Hampshire are shaped by being from Northeast terminals fed by Gulf and Eastern Canadian rail. Retail propane in New Hampshire typically tracks the upper end of the national price range published by the EIA Weekly Heating Oil and Propane Survey during the October–March heating season.
For a current, household-specific picture, request itemised quotes from several New Hampshire propane companies and compare per-gallon prices alongside tank rent, delivery fees and contract terms.

Does New Hampshire have an anti-fill law?
Anti-fill statutes (which constrain dealer lock-in via mandatory disclosure, capped pickup fees, or right to purchase a leased tank) exist in roughly 10-15 US states. Check with the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal or the state attorney general consumer protection division for the current rules in New Hampshire.
