About Us
Same family. Same promise. Since 1981.
Schilling Propane has been family-owned and family-operated for 45 years. We started serving north-central Ohio in 1981 with just one truck and now we have more than 18,000 customers — and through every change in the industry, the company has stayed in the same family’s hands.
Our Story
When the blizzard hit, nobody got left behind.
Just before Christmas 2022, one of the worst winter storms in years barreled toward Ohio. Forecasts warned of a flash freeze, dangerous wind chills, and days of brutal cold — the kind of stretch where a propane furnace isn't a comfort, it's a lifeline.
Our phones started ringing. Customers wanted to top off their tanks before the storm arrived, and we knew that once the blizzard hit, deliveries would slow to a crawl on ice-covered roads.
So, we made a simple decision: every customer sitting below 20% went straight to the top of the delivery list.
No exceptions, no waiting your turn behind routine fills. Our drivers worked to get ahead of the storm so that when the temperature plunged, our customers' tanks — and their homes — stayed warm.
One customer who called for a refill before the storm found out about the policy when her husband talked with our technician in the driveway. Her reaction said it all: they'd be Schilling customers for life.
That's how we approach every storm. When severe weather is on the way, we don't wait for emergencies — we work to prevent them.
Winter is coming — every year. Don't wait until the forecast turns ugly. Ask about automatic delivery and we'll keep your tank filled all season long, storm or no storm.
Our Service Promise
What you get from a family-run propane company
When a propane company is still run by the family that started it, certain things stay true. The owners know their customers by heart.
Schilling Propane was founded in 1981 and has been owned and operated by the Schilling family ever since. We started with one truck serving north-central Ohio and have grown to more than 18,000 customers across the region — but the company has never left the family's hands, and the day-to-day work hasn't been handed off either. The Schillings are still involved in the routes, the office, and the decisions. Many of our drivers and staff have been with us for years, some for decades.
We're local. When your tank is filled, it's by a driver who knows your road. And when you have a question, you're talking to people who live in the same towns you do.
Forty-five years in, we're still the same family-run company we were in 1981 — just with a lot more neighbors to look after.
