What to Expect from Propane Delivery with TJ Propane

August 24, 2026

Switching to propane or signing up with a new provider can bring up a lot of questions, and that’s totally normal. If you’re a homeowner in Northwest Ohio wondering what propane delivery actually looks like, we’re here to walk you through the entire process. Keep reading to learn what to expect, from setting up your account to your first fill.

Setting up Your Propane Account

When you become a customer, we’ll ask a few quick questions to get your account set up correctly. One consideration you’ll want to make is whether you want to use automatic delivery or will-call.

Automatic Delivery

With automatic delivery, we take care of the scheduling for you. This option includes: We use state-of-the-art tank-monitoring technology, as well as weather and temperature calculations to create a customized delivery built around your home’s specific needs.

Choosing automatic delivery means you can leave your propane deliveries up to us.

Will-Call Delivery

If you’d rather stay in control of your own schedule, will-call delivery might be the better fit. As a will-call customer, you’ll keep an eye on your tank and place an order when it reaches 30%. This gives us plenty of time to get your delivery scheduled so you don’t risk running out of fuel.

Getting Your Home Ready

Once your delivery option is set, it helps to prepare your property so our drivers can do their job safely and efficiently. A few simple steps go a long way:

Keep the path to your tank clear of debris.
Trim back any bushes or branches blocking access.
Make sure your house number is visible from the road.
Secure pets indoors during your delivery.
Leave gates unlocked or let us know how to access them.
In the winter, make sure the driveway is plowed and a path is shoveled.

Taking time to prep your property helps our team get your propane delivered quickly and without any hiccups.

What Happens on Delivery Day

Our driver will arrive in a fuel truck and connect a hose to your tank to begin the fill. Most deliveries only take a short time, depending on your tank size and how much propane you need. Once the fill is complete, you can view and pay your bill on our convenient pay bill portal. You’re not required to be home at the time of delivery.
