For me, it was a great experience, they were able to get me a good price on propane. They stood by everything they promised and delivered.

Their tech did an excellent job. Would highly recommend!

Because they are an awful company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They closed my father's account because he hadn't used it for 2 years. That might be okay, but they should definitely notify the customer.

You then have to pay over 100 dollars to start a new account. And they turned him down. Why? Because he hadn't needed propane?

Tried to go with another company, they required information that Suburban Propane would have had, had they not deleted everything. Do not trust them.

Customer service is rude to top things off. Do not do business with Suburban Propane.

Cons:

Horrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We called for almost a week for an "emergency" delivery. Every time we called we were given an excuse or told a different lie.

They advertise 24/7/365 Emergency deliveries this is so not true.

They can care less about their customers. Plus, they charge their customers more for propane than other companies.

Tried to switch provider

Suburban Propane - Tried to switch provider

Had a $1100 credit on the account. Switched to a different company and after all the *** charges, and they recovered 310 gallons of propane, I got a check for $400.

These people are absolute crooks in my opinion.

Do not deal with these people. You'll be sorry.

Current disgruntled customer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My cost for propane went from $3.599 to $5.599 from April to September 2024. A $2.00 per gal increase in 5 months given to a 25-year customer that paid bills on time.

The CT residential cost for propane on the September date of delivery was $3.586.

I called, $1.50 relief offered instantly; why? They wouldn't clearly explain the reason for the spike, it was all BS.

They just lost a 25-year customer because of sheer price gauging and greed. Goodbye Suburban!

Zero stars- became suburban customer due to them buying out my neighborhood propane vendor who we loved. Hard to read/understand invoice. Over priced propane (August, $4/gal)excessive delivery fee.

Called for a top off, August. $3.98 gallon

Guy had to reset his meter,while at my house, which resulted in a second delivery charge, $9.17x 2.

Cant wait to cancel the agreement.

Ripoffs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This company charged me $800 and did absolutely nothing for me. They alleged they applied for a permit.

I saw no permit application and they were unable to complete the job. I had to pay another company to do the work they were supposed to do. Communication is horrid. The woman named Mirna in the office is impossible very difficult.

Didnt do the job and would not remove the bill. She forced me to pay for something they didnt do.

Over charged

Suburban let my gas completely run out. When they came they told me my stove was bad and I had a leak.

I hired a private company who they referred to check it out. Largo piping and gas said the stove had no leaks. Suburban disconnected my stove and put another red tag on it. Largo piping came while Suburban was still at my house and did manometer test right in front of Suburban tech.

He stated that he called his boss and was told to still put a red tag on my stove. Now I just received a $400 bill for him doing that.

Suburban propane the worst propane service you can have they charged me for a tank test $364.00 they never performed. A month later after l pre paid $2023.00 which included a $200.00 emergency fill .

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After I received the bill a month later I ask why they said . Oh we just forgot to bill it when I called and ordered it .

I ask to speak to the local manager . I was told he was out to lunch but he never called me back . A week later they called me said if I didnt pay the $354.00 they would come out and turn my propane off. So I drove to my local Suburban distributor and finally talked to the manager.

I told him the whole story did not care what I said about the test not being done. So I paid the $354.00 and told him. That I call him to come and get his tank out of my yard . I was switching propane service to another propane company.

He basically didnt care.

I purchased over 5k of propane from Suburban over the last year so Im taking my propane business to another propane provider. Do Not Use Suburban propane for any of your propane needs you will regret it as I have.

We moved, being our first time with propane, heats and cooking. I called our local office.

Angie answered the phone. She explained in detail how everything works.

She took the time to explain the different ways we could be set up. Very helpful.

Illegal Operations

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Here I am again.

In late fall, Suburban Propane came onto my property and filled up my tank without authorization.

I didnt need any propane, I didnt request for a fill, I didnt approve a fill. For years I have told them to take me off auto-fill (they keep claiming they do, but they dont).

So, I requested the Drivers call me BEFORE filling my tank as I must give verbal approval; so at least I can tell them, no I dont need any and get it on record that I do not want their auto refill.

Well, they came, of course right when people are at work or picking up kids and very likely not to be home!

They called, acknowledged they must call first (yes I still have the VM), and thenFilled my tank anyway as I was not home to stop them.

I made a complaint as always, new manager told me after an hour long discussion of every problem I have had well I can maybe deeply discount the propane because thats more cost effective than coming to take the fuel back out.

Said hed call me back after he got to the office. Even told me they are forcing people to be on auto-fill!

I did NOT agree to anything. I told him I did not want this fuel, I didnt request it, didnt need it.

Its absolutely illegal to force a product into a customer who did not need or request it and then force them to pay for it!

Well, no phone call came, until yesterday with them threatening me once again to pay, or they will lock the tank. Then, like a mafia thug, they come during working hours (around 3pm) and locked my tank (its recorded).

This time, Im getting an Attorney.

Ive got so many witnesses, VMs, and even evidence.

Suburban Propane operates by illegally forcing people to pay for a product they didnt request or approve delivery of then shuts off their connection if they dont pay.

This is illegal mafia thug behavior. Not legitimate business behavior.

Best to unlock my tank, SP.

Preferred solution: Unlock my tank, and stop trying to charge me for a product I didn’t request. Your mistake is not my responsibility. If I need fuel, I’ll call.

User's recommendation: Do not use SP, ever.
