Schilling Propane’s payment plans are built around how propane actually gets used, not a low sign-up price that quietly climbs later. Every customer gets the same competitive, current rate. Want your price locked in for the season? Our Prebuy Contract and Cap plans do exactly that. ## Switching is free. We handle the rest. Give us a call and we’ll take care of everything from there. Already have propane lines? If they're in good shape and meet current code, we'll simply set our tank in place of your old one. No cost, no hassle, and you're ready to go. If anything needs to be brought up to current code first, we'll walk you through the work and the cost before anything begins. New to propane? We'll set up a work order service and schedule an appointment to run your gas lines and get your property propane-ready. Line work — including trenching and installation — is billed separately, since it's labor and materials on your property. We'll go over the cost with you upfront before any work begins. Lease one of our tanks or use your own. Leasing the tank itself is free, and we include the regulators and the concrete blocks the tank sits on. Additional fees may apply if propane usage is less than 50 gallons per year. Some applications don't qualify for a free tank lease. Call our office and we'll let you know if yours applies. $175Surprise FeesNo hazmat fees.No monthly fees.No yearly fees.*Providing you meet the minimum usage requirement. ## Payment Plans Choose a plan that fits you. ### Prebuy Contract Locked$129/ monthFixed price per gallon for deliveries made September–April - Price is protected from increases, but won’t decrease if market prices drop - Gallons used beyond the contracted amount result in balance due - Call the office for your pricing, total cost (including tax), and payment due date - 3% fee applies to all credit card and online payments - Contract purchase pricing can change during the purchase period - No discounts apply to this program - 200-gallon minimum order, and you must be enrolled in [Routed Delivery](/delivery-options/) [Get Started](/new-accounts/) ### Cap Capped$129/ monthLocks in maximum price per gallon on a set number of gallons - Non-refundable enrollment fee (per gallon) is required - Deliveries made September–April - You’re charged the current market rate or the cap price, whichever is lower - Usage beyond capped gallons is charged at current market price - 3% fee applies to all credit card and online payments - Call the office for your price, total cost (including tax and enrollment fee), and payment due date - You can choose either [Routed Delivery](/delivery-options/) or [Will-Call service](/delivery-options/) - No discounts apply to this program - 200-gallon minimum order [Get Started](/new-accounts/) ### Standard Flexible$129/ monthDeliveries made at the current market rate - Payment due within 30 days of delivery - Early-pay discount: 2% if paid within 10 days on a leased tank; 4% if paid within 10 days on an owned tank - Discount does not apply to credit card or online payments - Approved credit required - Available to both [Routed Delivery](/delivery-options/) and [Will-Call](/delivery-options/) customers [Get Started](/new-accounts/) ### Budget Level$129/ monthSpreads heating costs over 11 months for easier, predictable payments - Payments begin in July, end in May - June is the settlement month – estimated vs. actual usage gets reconciled - Approved credit required to enroll - Not all customers qualify [Get Started](/new-accounts/) ## Payment How to pay your bill - ### By phone Call our office and pay with a card – 419-294-4560 - ### By mail Send a check to our office - ### In person Cash or card, at our office ### Pay online Skip the call – pay your bill through PayPal any time, right from the website.
