Propane prices by ZIP code: how it works

There is no public per-ZIP propane price feed in the US, so we are honest about the resolution chain. Your 5-digit ZIP code maps to a regional centroid (the first three digits), which tells us your state and approximate location. The price we show is your state's residential average from the EIA survey, the best public benchmark available. The dealer list is real and local: we rank every geocoded, state-licensed dealer in your state by straight-line distance from your ZIP area and show the closest ones with their towns and direct phone numbers. Three real lookups:

ZIP 06066
Manchester area, Connecticut
State price: $4.12/gal (+54% vs the US average, EIA week ending 30 March 2026)
Closest verified dealers:
  • Ace Energy LLC, Broad Brook (~4 mi)
  • Taylor Energy, Broad Brook (~4 mi)
  • State Line Propane LLC, Granby (~8 mi)
ZIP 28806
Asheville area, North Carolina
State price: $3.45/gal (+29% vs the US average, EIA week ending 30 March 2026)
Closest verified dealers:
    ZIP 04330
    Augusta area, Maine
    State price: $3.52/gal (+32% vs the US average, EIA week ending 30 March 2026). Maine's own summer survey reads $3.20/gal as of August 3, 2026 (Governor's Energy Office)
    Closest verified dealers:
    • Ainslie's Market, Gardiner (~2 mi)
    • Four Corners General Store, West Gardiner (~2 mi)
    • Fullers Market -W Gardiner, West Gardiner (~2 mi)

    Distances are straight-line estimates from the ZIP area centroid to each dealer's geocoded location. Always call to confirm a dealer delivers to your address.

    Safety note: if you refill a residential tank, a plug-in propane leak detector (~$25) is a cheap insurance layer — most home propane incidents come from unnoticed regulator leaks. The PT199 Natural Gas Leak Detector is one of Amazon's top-rated sub-$30 options and covers propane plus natural gas.

    How to find the lowest propane price near you

    The lowest propane price in your area is almost never advertised. Dealers quote by phone, and per-gallon quotes for the same delivery can vary 20 to 50 percent between suppliers serving the same town. So the single most effective step is also the simplest: call two or three of the dealers listed above and ask each for their current per-gallon price, delivery fee, tank rental cost, and minimum delivery volume. The cheapest headline rate is not always the cheapest total, a low per-gallon price with a $75 delivery fee and a rental charge can cost more than a mid-range quote with neither.

    Two trade-offs decide most of the spread. First, will-call vs auto-delivery: will-call (you order when you choose) lets you time purchases for cheaper months, while auto-delivery often earns a 5 to 10 percent discount but takes the timing out of your hands. Second, tank ownership: owning your tank lets you take the cheapest quote in town every single year, while renting locks you to one supplier's price.

    For the full playbook, see our guides to 10 ways to lower your propane bill and the cheapest time of year to buy.

    DIY route: refilling a 20lb tank yourself (vs the swap-and-go exchange) saves about $12 per fill. If your tank fitting is older-style you'll need a POL-to-QCC1 propane adapter (~$10 one-time).

    Why your local propane price is not the national number

    The headline US average ($2.67/gal) hides a wide spread. Your real per-gallon price is set locally, and two households in neighboring counties can pay very different rates. These are the factors that move your number:

    Distance from the bulk plant

    Every mile of delivery adds cost. Homes at the end of a long rural route pay more than a town sitting next to a distributor's storage.

    Local competition

    An area with three or four competing dealers has lower prices than a single-supplier town. Competition is the strongest lever on your rate.

    Delivery route density

    Suppliers price tighter where they already run a dense route. A new customer off the beaten path can carry a surcharge.

    Tank ownership

    Renting your tank locks you to one supplier's price. Owning it lets you take quotes from every dealer on the list and switch freely.

    The practical move: use your state price above as the number to beat, pull the closest dealers, and call three of them. Ask each for the per-gallon price, delivery fee, tank rental, minimum delivery, and whether they offer a summer pre-buy. See our full guide to lowering your propane bill and when to buy.

    Propane prices near me: common questions

    How do I find propane prices near me?
    Enter your ZIP code in the tool above. It returns your state's current residential propane price per gallon (from the EIA survey) and the closest verified propane dealers we have on file, with direct phone numbers. No sign-up is needed to browse. Your exact delivered price depends on delivery volume, tank ownership, and contract, so call two or three local dealers, or use the quote request on your state's price page and compare prices from one form.
    Why is propane cheaper in some towns than others nearby?
    Two homes 30 miles apart can pay very different rates. The biggest local drivers are distance from the nearest bulk plant (delivery cost), how many dealers compete in your area, delivery route density, and whether you own or rent your tank. Rural customers at the end of a long route often pay more than a town with three competing suppliers.
    Are the prices shown my exact local price?
    No. The per-gallon figure is the EIA residential average for your state, the best public benchmark, but your delivered price varies by supplier, volume, and season. Use it as the number to beat when you call dealers. If a quote is well above your state average, ask why or call the next dealer on the list.
    How many propane dealers should I call?
    At least three. Per-gallon quotes for the same delivery can vary 20 to 50 percent between suppliers in the same area. Ask each for the per-gallon price, delivery fee, tank rental cost, minimum delivery, and whether summer pre-buy is available. Owning your tank lets you switch suppliers freely and usually saves the most.
