Blount Petroleum helps you manage your propane costs your way

Managing your home’s propane costs shouldn’t keep you up at night. Whether you’re heating your home, powering appliances, or fueling outdoor equipment, propane pricing can feel unpredictable, especially during peak winter months when demand soars.

At Blount Petroleum, we understand that Eastern North Carolina homeowners need flexible solutions that work with their budgets and lifestyles. That’s why we’ve developed three distinct pricing and payment plans that put you in control of your propane expenses while ensuring that your family stays comfortable year-round.

Budget Plan

Running from September to May, our Budget Plan transforms unpredictable propane bills into manageable monthly payments. Instead of facing steep winter heating costs, you’ll spread your annual propane expenses out across nine equal installments.

This approach offers several key advantages for homeowners.

  • Predictable monthly expenses: No more winter bill shock. Your propane costs become as predictable as your mortgage payment, making household budgeting significantly easier.
  • Improved cash flow management: Rather than draining your savings during peak heating season, the Budget Plan smooths out your expenses throughout the year. This leaves more money available for other home improvement projects or family priorities.
  • Peace of mind: You’ll never worry about whether you can afford to keep your home warm. Your heating costs are locked in and spread out, eliminating financial stress during cold snaps.

AutoPay

Juggling multiple bills each month takes time and mental energy. Our AutoPay service automatically handles your Blount Petroleum payments through your checking account or credit card.

The benefits extend beyond simple convenience.

  • Never miss a payment: Automatic payments protect your service continuity and credit standing and let you avoid late fees. Your propane supply stays uninterrupted, even during busy periods or travel.
  • Time savings: Eliminate the monthly task of writing checks or logging in to payment portals. AutoPay frees up time for more important family activities or home projects.
  • Reward opportunities: When you use a rewards credit card for AutoPay, you can earn points or cash back on an essential household expense you’re already paying.

PreBuy

Smart homeowners know that timing matters when purchasing propane. Our PreBuy program allows you to purchase your entire winter propane supply during summer months, typically at lower seasonal rates.

This strategy delivers substantial value.

  • Cost protection: Lock in summer pricing before winter demand drives costs higher. This approach has historically saved Eastern North Carolina homeowners hundreds of dollars annually.
  • Supply guarantee: Your winter propane supply is secured regardless of the weather-related demand spikes or supply chain disruptions that occasionally affect the region.
  • Budget certainty: Know your exact heating costs before the season begins, allowing for more accurate annual budgeting and financial planning.
