On December 25, 2025, our propane tank ran completely empty while both of our daughters were ill with the flu. Propane is our primary and only source of heat. In over 16 years of service with AmeriGas, we have never once been placed on "will call" status. AmeriGas placed us on will call resulting in a complete loss of heat.
After resolving that issue, we are now facing another serious failure.
We were scheduled to receive a propane delivery between January 23, 2026 and January 28, 2026. That window has passed without delivery. As of Friday, January 30, 2026, we were informed via automated messaging that delivery is now scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026.
This delay is extremely concerning. A winter storm forecasted to bring 5 inches or more of snow is expected to begin tonight, with temperatures forecasted to drop to 9 degrees or lower. Based on our current propane levels, we are at serious risk of running out of heat again before delivery occurs. We are at 8 percent.
When we contacted customer service to express the urgency of this situation, we were routed to an overseas answering service. After requesting escalation to a supervisor, we were advised to simply "wait and see if they deliver." This response is unacceptable given the circumstances, the weather conditions, and the fact that this is a heat-related emergency involving a household with children.
AmeriGas's failure has created a recurring and unsafe situation for my family. This level of service is unacceptable, and we expect prompt attention and resolution. read more
