  1. Very unhappy. Had to have a mandatory leak check after refill. Had to pay up front to get scheduled. Then couldn’t get a time other than “any time between 8 and 4”. It’s after 5:00, stayed home all day and still not here

  2. Great company to deal with….. Very helpful and got the job done! Recently switched from a long time supplier because they were terribly over priced…. Poore’s has done a tremendous job at half the price!

  3. If you have their service, you’ll notice they randomly (not) fill your tanks. Pay attention to the randomness. When prices are rising is when they deploy their trucks to maximize your bill!
