FAQ's
Get answers to common questions by expanding the blocks below. Keith is also always available to take your call and usually calls back within 24 hours.
What happens to my propane tanks when I switch providers?
Tank Exchange / Above Ground Tanks. If you have an above ground tank your new provider will drop new tanks, connect and fill at your member rate. After new tanks are in place you can call your previous provider to remove their tanks, they will issue you a credit for the remaining fuel.
Tank Exchange / Buried Tanks. If you have a buried tank your new provider will provide your previous provider a new tank at their expense and take ownership of the tank that is already in the ground, no need to dig!
I got invoiced at a non-member rate by provider after joining - now what?
No worries, follow-up with them and let them know they made a mistake. The fuel provider will re-issue a new invoice once your member information has entered their system. This can take up to 10 days after joining but in most cases info is in their system in about 24 - 48 hours.
What's the difference between a floating rate and variable rate plan?
Variable Rate Plan: Pricing is dictated by daily changes in the market and fluctuates over the term of your membership. Costs are usually lower than fixed rate palns in off peak seasons but can spike during peak months. Members who choose this plan usually have large tanks they fill when fuel is at its cheapest price in the summer months and last them through higher cost months during cold weather.
Fixed Rate Plan: Your locked into one low rate for the term of your membership and your cost will not change like the variable rate plan. Best choice if the propane market is expected to be volatile and supplies are in short supply. View the US Energy chart lower on this page for real time pricing across the US.
Which is best?: Membership is split about 60/40, 60% to fixed plan and 40% to variable. Only you can decide which plan is best for you. The markets are influenced by many factors that can impact propane cost, supply, and demand.
How does provider assign a pricing tier to my account?
Hilltop has several pricing tiers based on annual usage, the more fuel you consume the lower the price you pay per gallon. This is determined by the fuel provider by looking at a 2 year history of your usage based on billing and taking an average over that time frame.
I just moved into a house and have no idea of usage - now what? Contact your provider and they will ask you questions about square footage of home, how many gas appliances you have, and if you have gas fire places or a gas generator. They will then work with you to generate a fair estimate based on this information.
I have 2 accounts/properties that use over 1000 gallons, can that be used to determine my annual consumption and pricing tier? Unfortunately NO. Your annual fuel consumption will not be averaged across all your accounts but per residence, address or household. So if you own 2 properties and your usage across both properties is 1500 gallons annually the fuel provider will not consider that when determining your 2 year average.

Is hilltop the fuel provider?
Hilltop Energy is not your fuel provider but the entity that negotiates pricing with provider and does the fuel pre-buy. We also act as a member advocate when needed to resolve issues between the provider and the member.
How many addresses can my membership cover?
You will need an individual membership for each property or family residence you wish to cover under a Hilltop fuel plan.
How long is my Membership good for if I join?
The membership dues are annual and Membership term is from July 1 to May 30 for a calendar year. Your fuel discount for purchases is valid through these dates and Member terms of agreement.
When does my membership become active?
Amerigas customers should allow up to 10 days for their info to get updated in the Amerigas system but can order fuel immediatly after joining at the member rate. Irving Energy customers accounts are activated once they call the customer service number in your confirmation email and provide the 4 digit PIN number.
