When You Need More Than a Routine Refill
Emergency propane delivery isn’t just for people who forgot to check their gauge. Most emergency calls we receive are from homeowners who were blindsided by a sudden cold snap, a long weekend away, or a gauge that reads differently in freezing temperatures.
The tank gauge dropped below 20%, and winter isn’t done yet
The furnace stopped working, and it’s not the unit itself
A storm is coming, and you need fuel before it hits
Just moved in and discovered a nearly empty tank
Generator running hard during a power outage
The current supplier can’t come for days
What Actually Happens on an Emergency Call
One of our customers, Jeannie, shared something that resonated with our whole team. She wrote: she hadn’t checked her propane tank and realized it when the stove wouldn’t ignite, with a major winter storm approaching that weekend. She placed an order through the app and called the next morning. We already had her on the route for the same day. She was filled within three hours.
That’s the reality of what we do. We’re not a call center reading from a script. We’re a local team in Marysville that knows what it means when someone has two kids at home and no heat.
Our Emergency Delivery Process
We keep it simple on your end. You’re already stressed; you don’t need a complicated process on top of that.
1
You call or contact us
Tell us your situation, tank level, address, whether heat has already stopped. We ask just what we need to route you correctly.
2
We review your setup
Our team checks your property info and tank condition. Some situations require a brief safety check before delivery; we’ll tell you upfront if yours is one of them.
3
We prioritize your delivery
Urgent situations move to the front. We coordinate routes in real time and get a driver to you as quickly as logistics allow.
4
Your home is warm again
Once the tank is filled, your appliances can come back online. We’ll also walk you through how to get on Auto Fill so this doesn’t happen again.
Propane Runs More Than Your Furnace
When people say they’re out of propane, they often mean they’re out of heat, hot water, cooking fuel, and backup power all at once. That’s why an emergency call isn’t dramatic; it’s practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
How low does my tank need to be before I call for emergency delivery?
Don’t wait until you’re empty. We recommend calling when your gauge hits 30% during the winter months. At 20%, you should already be on the phone. Cold temperatures cause propane to contract and read lower than it actually is, and consumption spikes faster than most people expect during a cold snap.
Can you deliver the same day I call?
In many cases, yes. Same-day delivery depends on our current route load and your location. When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeline. We won’t string you along. If we can get to you today, we will. If there’s a wait, we’ll tell you plainly and explain your options.
My heat stopped completely. Is that a propane issue or a furnace issue?
Check your tank gauge first. If it reads below 20% or at zero, low propane is very likely the culprit. Call us, and we can often confirm this over the phone before sending a driver. If the tank level seems normal, you may need an HVAC technician, but ruling out propane first saves you time and money.
What happens after a complete run-out — is there a safety check?
Yes. When a propane system runs completely empty, a pressure check is typically required before refilling to ensure there are no leaks in your lines. This is a safety standard, not something specific to Union Propane. We’ll walk you through what’s needed before delivery so there are no surprises.
Is there a way to avoid emergency situations altogether?
Absolutely. Our Auto Fill program monitors your usage based on degree-days and seasonal patterns, and schedules deliveries before you ever approach a low level. Many customers who called us in an emergency end up enrolling in Auto Fill afterward, and tell us it’s one of the best decisions they made as a homeowner.
