What is keep-full delivery?

Keep-full delivery is an automatic refill program in which a propane supplier takes responsibility for tracking your consumption and scheduling deliveries to maintain a full or nearly full tank. Rather than waiting for you to call in an order or monitor your tank gauge yourself, the supplier uses heating degree-day calculations and historical usage data to predict when your tank will empty and dispatches a driver to refill it proactively.

This arrangement differs from standard on-demand service, where you contact the supplier when you need fuel. Under keep-full terms, you do not install a separate wireless monitor device on your tank. The supplier simply maintains a delivery schedule based on weather patterns, your home's heating habits, and seasonal factors. In Florida, where heating demand varies significantly between winter and summer months, this predictive approach helps households avoid unexpected supply interruptions during colder stretches.

Keep-full delivery appeals to customers who prefer not to track tank levels themselves or worry about running dry. It also benefits suppliers by allowing them to plan routes more efficiently and reduce emergency calls. The trade-off is that tanks refill on the supplier's schedule rather than your own, and you may receive deliveries before your tank is completely empty. Florida residential propane suppliers often bundle keep-full service with fixed or time-based pricing plans.
