“Bait and switch”

Dale A.

Got a quote from several propane companies, Amerigas had the best price. Went to order, and they said I had to have a leak test done, because it was 2 years since I got propane from them. I still have propane in the tank, and they want to charge me $140 for leak test? They said it was a law, and they had to do it. I looked it up online, and they are required to do it, only if the gas ran out. I used to buy my propane from them all the time, but no way now. Buyer beware.

Do not use this company at all. They lie, inflate their prices, tack on a million fees on top of charging you a 200.00 tank fee with a rusty tank with a broken gauge. They use that excuse to make multiple refills. I had two deliveries within 4 days. I've tried to cancel auto refill multiple times to no avail. Crazy above market gas prices plus all their added fees. Drivers are lovely but that's it. Customer service is useless and really won't do anything. Avoid this company like the plague!

Canceled my service after 8 1/2 years. One more service failure! Tank empty even though they show 33%. Called to ask why their system failed. Rep kept saying "I don't know " to every question I asked. Absolutely no help. Promised a delivery today. At 7pm still no delivery. I canceled my service. It will now cost 199.95 to have their tank picked up!🤬🤬🤬. High prices and very poor customer service. Sadly they do not care.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this company unless you want very poor customer service.

Verified purchase

I've had to call them 8 times today because the so called customer service gives me a different number to call each time, puts me on hold. One time I was put on hold for twenty minutes and then hung up on. The sad thing is I've been trying to take care of this for weeks and said today I was going to keep calling until this was resolved but no luck. Once I can purchase this propane tank from them, I will never use these awful people again!

Called Friday at 8:45 and paid the extra $300 dollars for delivery within 24 hours, Never Got it. Called 8 times and was finally told it would be 4 days later. That is not what I paid for at all. It is now Saturday at 1:57 and still no propane, can not get a supervisor on the phone, I will never do business with them again. Thompson Gas for me now and forever.

They'll let you run out of propane in the middle of winter, leaving you with no heat or hot water. Please please please use a different company. Their customer service is overseas and they won't transfer you to the local office. All you get from them is LIES!

They owe me $788.88 for gas left in 2 tanks when I moved since Jan 2023. Not only have they not refunded my money, They are billing me $400 and late fees are adding up. I've called 16 times having to hold for long waits each time i get transferred to a different department and the end result is they hang up. When i do get through they say they have resolved the issue and that I will get a check. Never comes and late fees are piling up.

I had Amerigas for 11 years and a couple of years ago everything changed and you didn't talk to anyone local anymore. I have been on automatic refill for at least 10 of those years and a couple of months ago I completely ran out of propane. When I called they said they would send someone right away. Needless to say after 6-7 phone calls and a day with no propane so no hot water or cooking I called a different company and had a new full tank that day. We are going on 3 months and they still have not picked up their tank. I have called 3 times about that and am told someone will contact me within 24hours and it has never happened.

Never have I've been more upset at the fact that you can schedule someone 4 $#*!en times and fail every single time. Not only does you service team suck, so do the customer support members who never have an idea of what is going on. Completely incompetent dumbasses who do not know what is left from right. Hopefully you get shutdown for good.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE THESE $#*!ES

Beware of this company! Amerigas charred me $217.00 to come out and look at the tanks and did absolutely nothing. Then they charged me $139.00 to remove their tanks. Amergas also will not credit me for the 30% of propane they took when tanks were removed. Been waiting for 5 months for credit but they bill me each month with a late charge. $400.00 plus billed and not one gallon of propane received. Pricing is crazy. Amerigas wanted $4.60 a gallon for my garage, my new service charged me $2.45 a gallon.

Amerigas keeps billing me for a tank I bought from them years ago. They bill me every year and every year I spend an hour convincing them that I already paid off the tank. They promise to fix it but never do. And they rarely answer their phones.

Tip for consumers:
Find a different propane provider.

They are charging over a dollar more than market price. Here is the market price today: https://fuelwonk.com/vendor/eia-wisconsin-propane/*******/*******
$1.51 a gal. And they quoted me $2.57 a gal. Total rip off do not get a tank from Amerigas once you have their tank they start jacking the price. Watch out for the "intorductory price" Make sure you ask if it is. Because they will jack it a buck on you the next fill.

Amerigas SUCKS!
Simply put.
My 85 year old mother was lied to several times trying to get the 100 gallons of propane she paid for 5 months in advance. This company - AMERIGAS- is a POS company and they take your Mother's money and make her wait 5 months later. POS company - any questions?

We called a month ahead to cancel our business with Amerigas. The last fill went from185.00 a month to 326.00 month. Said we used extra gas the previous billing. We used 18 gals more! Rip offs! We called to cancel and look out for the extra billing charges! We call get our bill fixed by customer support and I guess it is standard to keep you calling back because everything they say doesn't go through as fixed! We have been on the phone numerous calls to fix what the last person said they were fixing and they have no record. The last guy asked for the extension of the person we worked with? Gave name but didn't have that number. When we asked for his extension, he would not give it out! So how can we give that number to him? Duh! Still working on the billing as they snuck in another fee after we were told the bill owed was less! Attorney General of Ohio will be shown our complaint and all paperwork on the companies bad consumer practices. Never have we seen a business treat the elderly like this. Found a local company that is way lower pricing, are at their phones, not off shore, and willing to work with any issue you have. Steer clear of this company. Boy did Erie Propane rip off all those customer they sold out to!

Do not use this company! Horrible customer service! All calls are taken by people outside U.S. with very hard to understand accents! Plus, it was their fault my propane ran completely out and they waited over 30 hours before refilling the tank! They are too big and too callous!
On February 22nd my house in Vermont was getting colder even though I was running the furnace. I checked the Amerigas online tank gauge and it said tank was at 57%. I then called and had my furnace service come out to fix the furnace. They came and said nothing was wrong with furnace, that I was completely out of propane!
I called Amerigas twice on the 22nd. They informed me it might take up to 48 hours to get a refill! I said that was unacceptable. I always asked to speak to a supervisor and said it was an emergency but the representatives said no supervisor was available. The Amerigas number always connected me to a call center outside the U.S. and I could hardly understand them.

I spent all day yesterday on phone trying to see when the propane would be delivered as there was a winter storm warning for the next day and I did not want my pipes to freeze. No one gave me a window for when it would be delivered.
Finally, at 6 pm they delivered the propane, over 30 hours after I called them for an emergency propane delivery! Terrible company. I am canceling service.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this company!

I've read the reviews here and mine is very similar.

I've had Amerigas for nearly 20 years and during most of that time I could walk into the office, pay my bill, ask for service, etc. The entire process seamless and customer service was very good. Covid changed everything, the local offices in my area never opened again once Michigan went on lock down. Apparently after Covid Amerigas determined it was cheaper to have clueless children in Mexico and Taiwan answer the phone than employing locals. Big mistake…, customer service is now no-existent. The worst I have ever experienced with any company.

I have a 1000 lb tank buried in my yard and want to buy it. I've called 3 times to inquire about a price. 1st I was told they won't sell any tanks larger than 289 gallons, 2nd call I was told I could buy it for $2500 and the 3rd time I was told they don't sell ANY tanks. Even IF I believed the $2500 price, HOW could I trust ANYONE in another Country that can barely speak English...? It's SO frustrating it's comical.

Long story short, I contacted a local propane supplier that does employ locals. I had a new full tank delivered in 2 days. The price difference PER GALLON was $1.37.

I obviously should have made the change long ago.

Amerigas is the worst company I've ever dealt with when it comes to utilities. While every call with their godforsaken call center assures me I'm a "valued customer," I haven't had propane since May 12. Every time someone has come to repair or refill, it takes 3-4 days, and I still don't have working gas.

When our hot water and gas stove stopped working, I paid for expedited service for them to refill the tank, which I didn't get. When I finally got them to show up, on May 16, I was told to schedule a repair. It was scheduled for May 22. They didn't show up. They "fixed" the tank on May 24, but couldn't refill it until today, May 27. Today, the deliveryman couldn't get the gas to work, despite trying for an hour. He put in a service request and I called. Soonest they can come is June 1.

Every time I call they "escalate" my request and "expedite" what they can, and they still come at the very last moment. My gas delivery could have come 3 days ago if it had actually been expedited, and this problem would have been found sooner, but nope, that's not the way they operate. I didn't even know a temporary tank was a possibility until I started calling around for new service, and another company suggested it. I asked Amerigas customer service if they could bring one, and from what I can tell, even if they could, they still wouldn't be able to do it before my next appointment. Why? No idea.

At this point I'm trying to saturate the Internet with as many bad reviews as I can. I have small kids and don't have any hot water, can't do dishes or laundry, and we're heating water in the microwave to bathe. I can't wait to switch companies. I won't be happy until there's either a class action lawsuit or they go out of business. Absolutely the worst company I've ever worked with.
