This morning, smelled like a dead animal in our utility room this morning...and then no heating tonight. Checked the propane tank, and it was empty. The smell was the ethyl mercaptan compound added for leak detection, and I guess it's what's left when the propane is gone.
We're on auto-delivery from Fred's Propane, and the last delivery was Dec 21 -- usually monthly.
We used up some propane running the standby generator after the wind storm -- I emailed Fred's about that on Jan 2, and never got a response.
Seen Fred's trucks drive by twice in the past couple of days -- figured one of them stopped and we had not yet received the bill.
Called Fred's answering service about an hour ago and got a call back pretty quickly -- first he said they'll deliver "as soon as it's light," then he said they start work at 8 am. Then he said he'd hang up because I was asking too many questions -- like when I would get more propane!
Any recommendations for a different propane provider?
Thanks,
Joe Ryan
