Fuel Delivery in Minnesota

We're not in Minnesota yet — drop your email and we'll tell you the moment local dealers join.

Minnesota spans the Twin Cities and Mississippi headwaters in the south to the Iron Range and the Boundary Waters in the north — one of the coldest populated states in the Lower 48 and a heavy propane market for cabin country and the rural counties. Across the Upper Midwest, propane plays a meaningful role in Minnesota, carrying whole-home heat, hot water, cooking, and standby power for households the natural-gas grid never reached.

How Minnesota heats its homes

American Community Survey 2022 5-year estimates, rounded for narrative use:

  • Natural gas: ≈67% of housing units
  • Heating oil and kerosene: ≈1% of housing units
  • Propane (LP-Gas): ≈11% of housing units
  • Electricity: ≈13% of housing units
  • Wood, solar, and other / no fuel: ≈8% of housing units

The mix tilts toward natural gas in the populated corridors and propane out in the dispersed rural counties.

Heating climate in Minnesota

Minnesota averages about 8,200 heating degree days per year — a long, severe winter. Heating demand drives the propane delivery cycle from the first hard frost through the last spring cold snap, with usage swinging sharply between mild and severe winters.

Nearby states

Minnesota shares a land border with Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Once dealers join from any of these states we’ll surface them here so you can compare delivery options across the regional market.

Propane installations are governed by NFPA 58, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code — the consensus standard for storage, transfer, dispensing, and use of LP-Gas. NFPA 58 is widely adopted by reference into state and local fire codes, and state and local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (the AHJ) — typically the state fire marshal’s office, local fire departments, and building/permitting offices — enforce setback distances, tank-placement clearances, installer-licensing requirements, and any state-specific overlay on top of NFPA 58. Always confirm permitting and inspection requirements with a licensed installer and your local AHJ before any tank install, modification, or fuel switch.

“This code shall apply to the storage, handling, transportation, and use of liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas).”
