You can usually get propane at several common types of places:

  • Large hardware/home improvement stores (for example, places similar to Home Depot or Lowe’s often have tank exchange cages or refill stations).
  • Gas stations and convenience stores that have a propane exchange rack near the front or by the ice freezer.
  • Rental and moving companies (many locations similar to U‑Haul operate propane refill stations for grill tanks, RVs, and forklifts).
  • Dedicated propane companies (regional or national providers like AmeriGas or Ferrellgas let you enter your ZIP/postcode on their site to find nearby refill or delivery options).
  • Local fuel/energy companies that also sell heating oil or other fuels sometimes offer residential propane delivery and tank installs.

Quick way to find a spot

  1. Search “propane refill near me” or “propane exchange near me” in Maps and look for:
    • Hardware stores
    • Gas stations/convenience stores
    • Moving truck/rental yards
    • “Propane supplier” or “LP gas” businesses.
  1. Check hours and whether they do:
    • Tank exchange (swap your empty for a prefilled)
    • On‑site refill (they fill your existing cylinder)
    • Home/business delivery for larger tanks.

Safety note

  • Always transport cylinders upright and secure them so they cannot tip over.
  • Do not leave cylinders in a hot, closed vehicle for long periods.
  • Only refill or exchange cylinders that are in good condition and properly certified; staff at reputable suppliers will usually check this.
