A Pre-Buy Plan is a special, limited-time offer available to Paraco customers, allowing them to purchase their propane gallons in advance of the heating season at a set price per gallon. Regardless of how the propane market fluctuates during the season, pre-buying your propane lets you secure your gallons at a fixed price so you can rest easy all winter.

When you pre-buy your gallons, Paraco can lock in those gallons at a discounted rate and we can pass those savings on to you!

Pre-Buy Plans are typically offered during the summer months, allowing us to provide our most competitive pricing before the heating season begins. Supplies at these reduced rates are limited, so Pre-Buy is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Paraco offers both a Pre-Buy Plan and a Pre-Buy Budget Plan. Our Pre-Buy Plan offers our lowest price when you pay for all your gallons for the season upfront. Our Pre-Buy Budget Plan lets you lock in a low price for the season and spread your cost over six equal payments.

Paraco’s Pre-Buy Plans run through April 30th, so try to purchase only the gallons you will use by then. Existing customers can check their usage by logging into their account through the My Account portal. New customers can call us, and we’ll help determine the right number of gallons to purchase.

Any additional gallons used beyond the number of Pre-Buy gallons purchased will be billed at the market rate on the day of delivery. Additional Pre-Buy gallons cannot be added to your purchase after the contract begins.

Pre-Buy gallons are nonrefundable. Once the Pre-Buy contract period expires on April 30th, any remaining gallons will be converted from 'Plan Gallons' to a dollar amount and remain on your Paraco account as a credit. This credit can be applied toward future purchases at our market rate or next year’s Pre-Buy Plan.

Because Pre-Buy gallons are purchased in advance on your behalf, the price per gallon will remain fixed regardless of market fluctuations.

Existing customers can enroll in one of our Pre-Buy Plans anytime by logging into their account through the My Account portal. New customers can call us at 800.647.4427, and we’ll be happy to set up your account and get you enrolled.
