Propane Companies Respond To The COVID-19 Crisis

how propane companies respond to coronavirus iowa

As we all deal with the threat from COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Iowa propane companies are working hard every day to provide safe service to their customers.

Per the advice of health officials, your propane provider may have changed operating hours or procedures for such tasks as tank and cylinder filling, service, installations and customer payments.

Please keep in mind that your propane provider may need extra time to respond or make deliveries. If you normally call for deliveries, we recommend that you discuss your situation with your supplier. These are trying times for all of us, but propane companies here in Iowa—and across the country—remain united in responding to the needs of their customers.

If you have questions or concerns about deliveries or service, please reach out to your local propane provider.
