Propane Delivery in Oshawa, Ontario
Discount Propane delivers to homes, farms and businesses across Oshawa — from the serviced neighbourhoods south of Taunton Road to the rural properties along the northern concessions where the natural gas main simply does not reach.
- Automatic delivery
- Tank rentals & installation
- 24/7 emergency fills
Oshawa is an unusual propane market. Most of the city sits on natural gas, so the propane customers here are concentrated in two distinct groups: rural and semi-rural properties north of Taunton, and homes and businesses running propane appliances — fireplaces, ranges, pool heaters, standby generators, BBQ lines — regardless of what heats the building. We serve both, and we size the tank and the delivery schedule differently for each.

Where we deliver in Oshawa
We cover the full City of Oshawa, including the built-up neighbourhoods of Lakeview, Downtown, O’Neill, McLaughlin, Vanier, Donevan, Eastdale, Centennial, Pinecrest, Samac and Windfields, plus the newer subdivisions north of Taunton Road.
Our heaviest propane volume, though, is in rural north Oshawa — the hamlets of Columbus, Raglan and Kedron, and the properties strung along Winchester Road, Columbus Road, Raglan Road, and the upper stretches of Simcoe Street North, Ritson Road North, Harmony Road North and Townline Road. These are the addresses where the gas main ends and propane becomes the practical heating fuel, and they are on our regular Durham routing.
Who we deliver to in Oshawa
The Oshawa book splits roughly three ways. Rural residential is the largest — century farmhouses and newer rural builds north of Taunton running a propane furnace and hot water, typically on a 500-gallon tank with three or four fills a season.
Suburban appliance customers are the most numerous: homes on natural gas that still want propane for a fireplace insert, a gas range, a pool heater or a standby generator. These are usually 100 lb cylinders or a small above-ground tank on will-call.
Commercial and construction rounds it out — temporary heat on Oshawa build sites through the winter, forklift cylinder exchange for warehouse and logistics operations along the Thornton and Farewell corridors, and process fuel for small manufacturers.
Delivery scheduling for Oshawa
Oshawa sits on our core Durham route, which means it is one of the shorter runs we make and one of the easiest to add an extra stop to. Automatic delivery customers are scheduled on a degree-day model — we track the weather against your tank size and historical burn rate and dispatch before you reach 25%, so you are not the one watching the gauge.
Will-call customers should give us a few days’ notice in normal conditions. During a cold snap in January and February, that window stretches for everyone in the region, which is the single best argument for switching to automatic delivery before the season starts. Emergency and out-of-gas calls are handled 24/7.

Oshawa propane questions
Do you deliver propane to rural north Oshawa?
Yes. Rural north Oshawa is one of our core delivery areas, including Columbus, Raglan, Kedron and the properties along Winchester Road, Columbus Road, Raglan Road and the northern ends of Simcoe, Ritson, Harmony and Townline. These addresses are on our regular Durham Region routing, not treated as out-of-area surcharge stops.
How much does propane cost per litre in Oshawa?
There is no published residential delivered propane price for Ontario — the Ontario Energy Board does not regulate propane and Statistics Canada does not survey it. Your rate depends on your annual volume, contract type, delivery distance and whether you rent or own your tank. Call 905-448-5955 for a firm quote, or see our Ontario propane prices page for market context and tank fill costs.
How much does it cost to fill a 100 lb propane tank?
A 100 lb tank holds about 89.5 litres of propane when filled correctly to 80% capacity. At $0.80 per litre that is roughly $72 plus HST; at $1.00 per litre roughly $89 plus HST. Multiply 89.5 by your current per-litre rate for an exact figure. 100 lb cylinders are the most common setup for Oshawa homes running a fireplace, range or generator on propane while heating with natural gas.
Why is my propane tank only filled to 80%?
Liquid propane expands substantially as it warms, so every tank is filled to 80% of its water capacity to leave vapour space for that expansion. This is a safety requirement under Ontario’s propane code, not a supplier shortchanging you — a gauge reading of 80% means your tank is full. Book your next fill at around 25 to 30%.
