Good question.

I'm actually happy with the existing company.



The only thing that 'may' change is they may charge

a rental fee (which, over time, would, at some point,

exceed the cost of the tank) and they may charge a

higher rate for the propane.



Plus, I can no longer shop around and go to someone

else for propane (who may have a lower cost).



Given that there are 1,000 gallons, even a minor

50 cent difference in price could make a large

difference (over time) in total ownership cost.

Then it would seem that when and if another supplier
offers a price that justifies switching, that would be
the time to incur all the trouble. But you told us the
current company was the lowest cost one, no? So, why
not just keep doing what you've been doing?
