That's cheap compared to what I'm paying in Delaware. But when I was quote the lock in rate, the utility quoted a higher rate than what was the current market rate. The lock in has an a little bit of padding to ensure they don't lose out too much if the propane market shoots way up during the heating season. In the past, I let my rate float with the market and got killed with my monthly bills. I was seeing monthly propane charges exceeding $100 to sometimes above $160 a month when I was not at my vacation home at all or maybe one or two days that month. When I'm not there, I have the thermostat set to 58 degrees F. And when I'm there, the thermostat is set to 73.
