Off topic but I need your help (know those of you here better than else where) and am about to rant big time. Anyone know what the hell is going on in E. TN w/propane prices?
1. My mother in law is elderly and they said "oh sure we'll do you a deal..." and they came back with $120 a month. First, she only needs it for heating. Electricity covers everything else and this is as jacked up as KUBs rates. (actually the way KUB has been charging all this will add up to 400+ a month as they don't bother checking the meters here - they gouged us in winter even though she doesn't use electric heat!) 2. this is way more than she paid only a few years ago and buying in Aug/Sep is 'allegedly' cheaper. IIRC, just two years ago her husband would buy half a tank for 500-600 dollars and that was often in winter when gas way higher 3. She needs to get through winter - that's it. Even the hot water is now electric b/c they didn't have a gas replacement when the old one crapped out,
I can't shake the feeling they're taking advantage of an elderly woman and I only have tomorrow maybe a bit longer to get things worked out since she's tentatively scheduled delivery. She hasn't signed papers yet and I have no clue where to start looking. I'm angry and feel helpless b/c I'm ignorant in this area. I just know her husband got wayyyy better deals before he died and pisses me off because I really think she's getting screwed.
Maybe I'm wrong and prices have gone up THAT much (I don't know since I don't use gas/propane heat) any help would be appreciated. I'm of half a mind to just say eff it buy half a tank - that used to last her and her husband 9-10 months.
In case you can't tell I'm mad as holy hades she's a widow for effs sake and feel she's getting robbed because of it when people should be showing some damned compassion.
On topic GBFO!
anybody have hank hills number for this guy?
