I mean, that seems pretty normal? I'm about 70% sure they must have shown some of those 250 or whatever gallon tanks that get filled monthly or so at some point, and having that as a recurring bill rather than ordering it every month seems entirely reasonable
It may not be monthly but there are companies that will monitor your levels and schedule refills as needed. If you're getting refilled per month you probably need a bigger tank. Most people are using propane for heating and don't need it refilled in the summer.
There are also options to spread the cost over the year so you're making payments each month. That is sort of a subscription but when I think subscription I think of a service you're charged for whether you use it or not and not financing.
Don't need it refilled in the summer??? Do they not own grills???
Hank would politely but firmly ask them to leave.
I got a 250 gallon tank. I don't have it hooked up to my grill, I just use the 5 gallon tanks for that. It's more of a pita to hard plumb that than it's worth, plus if I forget to turn the grill off I'm out 5 gallons, if I hard plumbed it to my main tank...
Also, at least here in Japan, some of the houses use LP gas and some of those are just a large propane tank outside of the house that a company replaces on a schedule.
I guess that's a subscription too
