Suffolk County Propane Price FAQs
What is the current propane price on Long Island?
NYSERDA reported a Long Island residential propane benchmark of $4.339 per gallon for July 2026. Nassau and Suffolk are combined in that regional benchmark, and individual dealer quotes can differ.
Why is my propane quote different from the published average?
Public benchmarks describe a market average. Your actual price can change with delivery size, annual usage, tank ownership, automatic or will-call service, route location, payment terms and account fees.
Does owning a propane tank help me compare suppliers?
Usually it gives a homeowner more flexibility. Supplier-owned or leased tanks may be restricted to the company that owns the equipment.
Are the prices on SuffolkPropaneRates.com guaranteed?
