Propane Pre-Buy 2026-2027

Propane Pre-Buy 2026-2027

Pre-Buy season gets underway on August 1st! Why should you pre-buy your propane? The main benefit is this: you lock in a fixed price for the winter season. This can be advantageous since the fuel market can be extremely volatile. It’s not uncommon to see price increases when entering a new season, especially during the wintertime.

Why Do Prices Change?

Propane is manufactured from the crude oil refining process and natural gas manufacturing. Because of this, the price of propane will usually trend in the same direction as crude oil and natural gas commodities.

Propane price fluctuation, like many commodities, is caused by simple supply and demand. For example, in the winter months when the temperatures drop, demand for propane skyrockets and this can cause prices to rise dramatically. As a rule, the more severe the weather, the more you can expect to pay.
