Fuel Delivery in Vermont

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

Vermont runs from the Connecticut River valley across the Green Mountains to the Champlain Valley; one of the highest combined oil-plus-propane shares in the country, with cordwood still doing real work in the Northeast Kingdom. Across New England, propane (LP-Gas) is one of the dominant heating fuels in Vermont, particularly across rural counties and homes outside natural-gas distribution.

How Vermont heats its homes

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

  • Natural gas: ≈19% of housing units
  • Heating oil and kerosene: ≈46% of housing units
  • Propane (LP-Gas): ≈15% of housing units
  • Electricity: ≈7% of housing units
  • Wood, solar, and other / no fuel: ≈13% of housing units

Heating-oil share is among the highest in the country, and propane is the standard cleaner-burning alternative for households switching off oil.

Heating climate in Vermont

Vermont averages about 7,800 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

Vermont shares a land border with New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. 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).”
