The propane we supply to our clients is produced domestically. Propane is a by-product of crude oil refining and natural gas processing. The majority of the propane used in the U.S. is produced in either the U.S. or Canada. U.S.-based petroleum refineries produce about one-third of the supply of propane, while U.S.-based natural gas processing plants produce the majority of the other two-thirds. Canadian imports make up about 5% of the U.S. supply.

SMO Energy is committed to keeping propane delivery affordable, and we are completely transparent with our propane prices. That means no hidden fees or charges – the price you see is what you pay.

We offer free automatic delivery and free monthly payment plans* to help you manage the costs of heating your home and fueling your appliances. Our SmartPay program estimates your fuel usage for the year, then splits up the price into monthly payments. We make adjustments as the year goes on, based on your usage.

SMO Energy provides total home comfort services to households across Southern Maryland. We provide services to an area covering more 2,500 square miles and can work with clients in the following counties:

How long your propane tank stays filled depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the container and the amount of fuel your home or business uses. You can look at the burn rating of your furnace and compare it to the energy produced by one gallon of propane (about 92,000 British Thermal Units or BTUs). A furnace with a burn rating of 100,000 would use about 0.92 gallons of fuel per hour.

Once you know how quickly your furnace uses fuel, you multiply the amount by the capacity of your propane tank to find out how long a filled tank will last.

Instead of doing all of that math, we can monitor your tank and usage for you with our free automatic delivery program. We’ll monitor your tank and automatically deliver when it starts to get low. You can also see your next estimated delivery date by logging in to your SMO Energy Online account.

If you already use propane at your home and are interested in switching to SMO Energy from another supplier, we will need to give you a new tank. We cannot fill a tank that belongs to another company for liability reasons.

This is common across the industry. No fuel company will fill a tank that is not theirs, as doing so can raise liability issues. If you need a new tank, we will work with you and provide a tank that will work best for your home.

Propane has many uses in the home and for businesses. More than 7.8 million households in the U.S. heat their homes with propane. In Maryland, more than 70,000 homes use propane for heating. Around 4.6 million U.S. households use propane to heat water. Other at-home uses for propane include powering clothes dryers and stoves/ovens. Additional uses of propane include:
  • Heating swimming pools
  • Powering generators
  • Gas fireplaces

Your energy bill might be higher than usual for a few reasons. One reason is that the cost of propane fluctuates based on supply and demand. When demand is up, such as right before winter, prices increase. While we cannot control the global supply of propane, we can help you manage your energy costs through programs such as SmartPay.

In some cases, an increase in your energy bill might have nothing to do with the price of propane and everything to do with the condition of your tank or furnace. An older heater might not work as efficiently as it once did and might use more fuel to heat your home. A leaking tank can also cause you to go through fuel more quickly than usual.

Your home heating habits might also affect your energy bill. When it is frigid outside, you might be cranking up your heat. If your home does not have proper insulation or if the windows are not properly sealed, you might need to use more energy to heat the interior.

You might be using more propane than usual for a few reasons. It could be a result of an issue with your propane tank, such as a leak. Although this is not common, it is important to know the signs and proper measures that need to be taken. If you notice an odor of rotten-eggs in or around your home, leave your home right away, call the fire department, and then call us to have one of our propane specialists help assess the condition of your tank.

It is also possible that you are merely using more propane than you usually do. If it is icy out, your furnace might have to work harder to keep your home comfortable. If you use propane to heat your home’s water, people in your family might be taking longer, hotter showers and using more fuel. If you are concerned about your propane use, one of our propane specialists can take a look at your tank or furnace to help you find ways to make your system more efficient.

Propane is safe to use for home heating and to power appliances such as stoves and clothes dryers. Propane is nontoxic and nonpoisonous. It also does not harm soil or groundwater.

Proper handling and storage of propane increase its safety. When you call SMO Energy for propane delivery, one of our specialists will visit your home to determine the best place to locate your tank. We will also perform a safety check at each fill-up to make sure your tank and systems are functioning as they should be.

If you are interested in switching from heating oil to propane, your best bet is to call a professional to assist. The conversion process involves replacing your fuel tank and in some cases swapping out or retrofitting your existing heating system.

There is no “right” amount of propane to use each month. How much fuel you end up using depends on a variety of factors. The size of your house, how many rooms you are heating and how else you are using the propane all affect usage. What you want to pay attention to is if your fuel use suddenly increases. That can be a sign that something could be wrong with your tank, furnace or another appliance.

At SMO Energy, we treat every client like they are our only client, and we have the skilled and passionate personnel to do just that.

When you choose us for propane delivery service in Maryland, you will enjoy the benefit of attention from propane specialists who know how to install and fill your tank smoothly and safely.

The Benefits of Using Propane

Propane offers many benefits to home and business owners:

Clean-burning fuel that can help to reduce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions.
If you prefer to keep an eye on things yourself, we also offer will-call delivery service. Whenever you need more fuel, give us a call, and we will make the delivery. A third option is to sign up for scheduled delivery so that you can receive fuel on a schedule that fits your life.

More efficient. Propane is more efficient than most other fuel options. One gallon of propane can go farther in heating your home than one gallon of heating oil.

More affordable. Because it is more efficient than other heating fuel options, it tends to be more affordable to heat your home over time. Since most propane tanks are leased from your propane provider, you also don't have to worry about the cost of maintaining or purchasing your tank.

Abundant supply. Since most propane we use is produced in the U.S., it is easier to obtain when demand increases.

Positive effect on U.S. economy. Since most of the propane used in the U.S. comes from the U.S., increased use of it has had a positive effect on the U.S. economy.
