Variable vs. Fixed Propane Pricing: What’s best for you?

• Variable vs. Fixed Propane Pricing

  Variable vs. Fixed Propane Pricing: What’s best for you?

  The following information is designed to help you select the propane pricing option that best fits your needs.

   

  ATTRIBUTE	VARIABLE PRICING	FIXED PRICING
  How it works	The price you pay for propane fluctuates, depending on changes in wholesale propane prices. Your price will change – up or down – on a weekly basis and is set based on the day of your actual fuel delivery.	The price you pay for propane is ‘locked-in’ or guaranteed to stay the same for a 12-month period (from September 1 to August 31 of each year).
  How the price is set	Variable propane rates change each week, based on variations in wholesale propane prices and pricing option is based on market fluctuations and freight costs.	Fixed rates are established for each region we serve. In setting the fixed price, we take into account our forecasts about wholesale prices and North American and regional propane supply for the year ahead, as well as freight costs to transport propane from supply terminals to your region.
  Advantages	As a call-in customer, there is the opportunity to save money compared to fixed propane pricing by ‘timing’ your purchases to occur when the price is lower (off-peak periods, typically in summer). Historically, variable pricing means you end up paying a lower total cost than fixed pricing.	Your price stays the same no matter what’s happening in the propane marketplace (e.g., rising prices, supply issues). You enjoy peace of mind by not having to follow propane prices in the marketplace and then figuring out the best time to buy. You know exactly what your propane price will be for an entire year, making it easier to predict how much you’ll spend on fuel.
  Disadvantages	In periods of higher demand (e.g., winter) or when there are shortages in propane supply, your price will be higher. With fluctuating prices, it’s harder for you to plan your fuel cost in your monthly budget. If you try to ‘time’ your propane purchases when prices are lower, be aware that there may be 5 to 7 business days between when you place your order and when it’s delivered. Since the price may have changed during that time, you may not end up paying the price you had expected. If your propane tank is smaller than average and the volume of propane you order is less than our minimum delivery size, you will pay a delivery surcharge, which could impact your expected savings.	You cannot ‘opt-out’ of fixed pricing within the 12-month period. You must commit to purchasing at least 1,500 litres of propane during the year to be eligible. Historically, fixed pricing means you end up paying a higher total cost than variable pricing.
