Hopkins Propane in Shelbyville, MI provides convenient residential and commercial propane gas delivery options, including automatic scheduled service and will-call orders to fill your tank when you need it.

Choose Your Delivery Option

Peace of mind is knowing you will never run out of propane. Propane home delivery is convenient, it takes one more thing off your to-do list, and most importantly, your appliances have the energy source they need to run efficiently. Propane customers have different needs depending on the number of appliances and the frequency in which they use them. We understand there is no one-size-fits-all solution to residential propane delivery, and we offer customers three options to choose from:

Automatic Delivery – This is our “set it and forget it” offer. Using accurate forecasting based on the number of propane appliances you have, your usage history, and weather patterns, our team will automatically deliver propane to you as your tank starts to get low, ensuring you never run out. You won’t have to call, order, or remember to check your gauge with this hassle-free option.

Will-Call Delivery – If propane isn’t a primary energy source for you and your usage fluctuates, will-call delivery is an excellent choice if you want to monitor the tank level and call us when you need a refill. We advise customers who opt for on-demand delivery to call us when their tank is no less than 30% full to be cautious that the tank doesn’t run out before we get there. Customers can contact us directly or place an order for propane delivery online.

Fixed Cycle Propane – If your propane use doesn’t fluctuate much throughout the year, you can schedule delivery at regular intervals. Choose your preferred delivery schedule from daily, weekly, monthly, annually, or whatever works best for you. No matter what you pick, you can have confidence we will be there to fill your tank as scheduled.

Additional Propane Services

Reliable and affordable propane tank delivery refilling isn’t all we do. We offer more beneficial services to help you out in times of emergency while allowing you to get the most out of your propane energy.

  • Emergency Propane Delivery – Sometimes, without even realizing it, homeowners might go through a spell of using more propane than usual, and they find themselves with an empty tank, most often with will-call customers. It happens. Everyone gets busy and forgets to check the gauge occasionally. In these situations, we offer emergency propane delivery to get your tank filled as quickly as possible.
  • Online Delivery Monitoring – We offer peace of mind with online delivery monitoring for customers on fixed cycle or automatic delivery programs. If you’ve noticed an increase in usage or you’re worried you might be getting low, view your upcoming delivery schedule or put in a request for delivery sooner.
  • Tank MonitoringUsing advanced technology, professional tank monitoring takes the guesswork and hassle out of checking your tank’s gauge. You’ll receive alerts and notifications right on your phone, providing the convenience of monitoring your tank even when you’re not home.

  • Economical & Efficient: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the cost of electricity in your home is over twice the cost of propane. While it may not seem that way because propane can cost more upfront, its efficiency rating places it much higher than its counterpart. Meaning, you get more bang for your buck each time you refill your tank. Even fuel oil does not stand up to the longevity of propane in your home or office.
  • Never Run Low: To create propane, we use natural components, natural gas, and petroleum. We can easily keep your tank filled, and your power running. Thanks to propane’s ability to turn into a liquid under pressure, we can even keep your fleet on the road for much cheaper than diesel or traditional fuel. Propane conversion gets you the perfect alternative fuel solution.

  • Environmentally-Safe: Even in its liquid form, propane vaporizes into a gas making it far less dangerous than liquid energy sources such as oil or gasoline. Propane exhaust also generates 60-70% less smog-producing hydrocarbons when burned. As well, it is non-toxic and insoluble in water.
  • Robust Safety Record: Thanks to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the propane industry’s stringent regulations, this energy source is safe to use.

The Many Uses of Propane

With summer right around the corner, it’s about time to start having barbeques. For many grillers, this means refilling their propane tanks. However, propane can be used for many other purposes.

Heating Your Home and Appliances

A propane tank is an efficient source of energy for your whole home. By having a propane tank hooked up to your home, you can use it to power your furnace, heat your water, and cook food on your stove. Propane is a more cost-effective energy source than electricity, especially for heating your home. Propane heaters also provide a bit of humidity to keep the air in your home from getting dry, which is a common problem with electric heat.

Backup Power

Backup generators for homes are often powered by propane. If the electricity goes out at your house, propane will help keep the power running. Plus, appliances that use gas, like a stove or oven, can still be used to cook meals during blackouts. Even if your power doesn’t go out, it’s good to know that you have a backup plan.

Outdoor Spaces

Propane is sometimes associated with summer because of how often it’s used for grills. But fire pits that are propane-powered have become increasingly popular because they’re easy to use. Gone are the days of having to gather a large pile of wood and watch over your fire all night to keep it going. Of course, people also use propane for their grills and smokers. Cooking meat, like burgers and steaks, outside prevents your home from smelling like smoke and food.

With all sorts of uses, propane is a popular fuel source that powers several aspects of your home. At Hopkins Propane, we’re a family-owned business that’s provided West Michigan with reliable propane services for decades. If you’re interested in learning more about how we can help you, call (269) 792-7205 or contact us online.

How do I know when I need more propane?

Hopkins propane gaugeThere is a gauge on the top of the tank under the lid which shows the percent of propane remaining in the tank. If you are on our Automatic-Fill program, we use a Degree-Day system which allows us to forecast when to make a delivery. Our Delivery Representatives generally come to refill the tank when the gauge reads between 20%-30% full. Or, you may choose to have the tank filled on a Will-Call basis, meaning you monitor the tank level and call us when the gauge reads between 20%-30% full. You may also place an order online.
