We’re One of the Most Trusted Local Propane Companies in the Carolinas
Your local propane company does its best work when it’s a stress-free part of your routine. We deliver the fuel that keeps your family warm and helps your home appliances run day after day. The company behind those deliveries has as much impact as the propane itself.
Our family history of delivering fuel reaches back to 1954. The Bumgarner Oil Company was founded by brothers Glenn and Tommy Bumgarner, and today the business continues under the second and third generations of the Bumgarner family. Our long-standing reputation for dependable service and honest relationships still guides every propane delivery we make today.
Watchdog Service
Stay ahead of refills with automatic delivery and complimentary tank monitoring from a service provider with a careful eye on fuel levels. We support you by scheduling deliveries before your tank gets too low.
If you’d rather manage your own deliveries, our will-call program also offers optional tank monitoring. It’s easy to check levels through our online portal and mobile app before placing an order.
Honest & True Billing
Clear communication has always been part of the Bumgarner way. Few things are as frustrating as confusing billing practices — we know how that feels! With us, you’ll always receive straightforward billing with flexible payment options. When questions come up, we’re ready with answers that make sense.
Choose the billing method that works best for you: credit card payments, autopay, equal payment plans, and in-house lines of credit are all available. Every household manages expenses a little differently. Honest, transparent service is just a phone call away.
Good Neighbor Policy
Western Carolina is home for our family, too — and being a good neighbor never goes out of style. Our customers shop at the same grocery stores, attend the same churches, cheer for the same schools, and support the same local organizations we do. Those connections shape the way we do business.
“Fueling our community” isn’t a slogan around here. It’s been part of our family’s life since 1954, and we’re proud to continue serving the communities that have supported us for generations.
Real Good People
Many propane companies rely on large call centers or automated systems. A phone call to Bumgarner still reaches a real person in our local office. You’re always welcome to stop by the office if you’d rather have the conversation face to face, too. Our doors are open!
Get in touch with our friendly service team and speak with someone who knows your service area and can help you find an answer. We field questions about propane refill service, billing, delivery schedules, and tank installations all the time.
Good customer service still matters, and we believe it always will.
