Propane Delivery Tips for Ohio Winters

December 23, 2025

Staying prepared for winter weather is essential for Northwest Ohio homeowners who rely on propane for home heating. Propane users benefit from a few easy habits that help ensure dependable warmth all season long. Keep reading this blog for our expert tips on propane deliveries during Ohio winters.

When to Order Propane

Knowing when to order propane helps ensure your home stays warm and safe during the coldest months of the year. Check your tank levels regularly so you have plenty of time to schedule deliveries ahead of time and avoid runouts.

How to Read Your Gauge

  • Left the dome lid at the top of your propane tank to find the dial that resembles the face of a clock.
  • The numbers on the dial represent percentages, and the needle points to the tank’s current level.
  • Place a propane order when your tank reaches 30% full.
  • A full tank will read between 80-85% to allow for safe gas expansion.

Simplify Your Fueling with Automatic Delivery

Automatic delivery takes the guesswork out of winter heating. Instead of monitoring your gauge and placing orders manually, TJ Propane will use tank monitors and degree-day calculations to create a delivery schedule tailored to your specific needs.

With automatic delivery, you reduce the risk of no-heat emergencies, can enjoy easier budgeting and planning throughout the year, and have complete peace of mind.
