Fixed Price Program

Price is locked at a set price and does NOT move up and down with market conditions
Performs well when market conditions move either up or down dramatically
Specific gallons required
NO enrollment fee required
Most Popular Choice for Townsend Energy Propane Customers

The Fixed Price Program provides an opportunity to protect customers against unexpected increases or decreases in market conditions. The Fixed Price Program creates a set price that will not fluctuate with propane prices. Customers must specify the amount of gallons they want to protect during the program selection process. This program is beneficial to customers when market conditions increase during the course of the heating season.

Float Price Program

Price floats up and down based on current market conditions
Performs well in stable or declining market conditions
Most competitive offer
NO enrollment fee required
NO specific gallons required

The Float Price Program is a floating, or variable, price that changes with current market conditions. This program performs well when market conditions are stable or declining. Additional benefits to customers are that NO gallons need to be specified and there is NO enrollment fee. The Float Program does not perform well when propane prices increase dramatically.

Pre-Buy Price Program

Price is locked at a set price and does NOT move up and down with market conditions
Our lowest price protection program
One lump sum payment upon submission of contract
Performs well in stable or increasing market conditions
Specific gallons required
NO enrollment fee required

The Pre-Buy Program is a locked in price that does NOT go up and does NOT go down with market conditions. The pre-buy price that you contract for will be the price you pay per gallon for a specific amount of gallons during the program selection process. This program provides protection against dramatic increases in propane prices and is beneficial when market conditions are stable or rising dramatically. The Pre-Buy Program is not beneficial when the market prices decrease because your price will not go down. This program is the LOWEST priced program because it requires the customer to pay for all of the propane purchased before the heating season in one lump sum. There is NO enrollment fee associated with this program. For our customers in New Hampshire, our pre-buy price program is available May 1st through October 31st.

NOTE: When you commit to this program, Townsend Energy is simultaneously committing to you by purchasing the propane for you. We are not able to break this agreement with our suppliers. Be sure you understand that if market conditions decrease, you do not get a lower price.

FAQs

What are current propane prices in NH?
Propane prices in New Hampshire fluctuate based on market conditions, seasonal demand, and delivery volume. For today's propane price, call Townsend Energy at (978) 717-0490 or log in to your account. We serve customers across NH, MA, and ME with transparent, competitive pricing.

How does Townsend Energy's propane pricing work?
We offer several propane pricing programs to fit different budgets and risk tolerances. You can choose a market price plan (you pay the going rate at time of delivery), a fixed-rate plan (locked price for the season), a capped price plan (protection against price spikes with the ability to benefit if prices drop), or a budget plan (spread your annual cost into equal monthly payments). Our team can help you choose the right fit based on your usage and how much price stability matters to you.

Is there a propane price cap program in NH?
Yes. Townsend Energy offers a capped pricing program that sets a maximum price per gallon for the season — so no matter what happens to propane markets, you'll never pay above that cap. If market prices drop below the cap, you pay the lower rate. It's a popular option for homeowners who want budget certainty without locking into a fully fixed price.

Does Townsend Energy offer a propane budget plan?
Yes. Our budget plan spreads your estimated annual propane cost into equal monthly payments, making it easier to manage heating costs year-round rather than absorbing large bills in peak winter months. Contact us to get an estimate based on your home's usage history.
