Discount Propane · Durham Region
Propane Delivery in Whitby, Ontario
Discount Propane delivers across the Town of Whitby, and the shape of that business is dictated almost entirely by one line on the map: the northern edge of the natural gas network.
- Automatic delivery
- Tank rentals & installation
- 24/7 emergency fills
South of Taunton Road, Whitby is dense, serviced and largely on gas — our customers there run propane for specific appliances rather than for heat. North of it, through Brooklin and out into the countryside toward Ashburn and Myrtle, propane does the heavy lifting. That northern half is where most of our Whitby volume goes, and it is routed as farm-and-rural delivery rather than suburban.

Where we deliver in Whitby
We serve all of Whitby, including Downtown Whitby, Port Whitby, Pringle Creek, Rolling Acres, Williamsburg, Blue Grass Meadows and the Thickson and Brock Street corridors.
North of Taunton, we deliver throughout Brooklin — both the village core and the surrounding rural properties — and out to the hamlets of Ashburn, Myrtle and Myrtle Station, plus Macedonian Village. Rural routing follows Baldwin Street North, Ashburn Road, Columbus Road, Winchester Road, Coronation Road, Cochrane Street and Lake Ridge Road, taking in the farms and rural residential properties along the Whitby–Uxbridge townline.
Who we deliver to in Whitby
Brooklin and north Whitby rural residential is the backbone of this route — properties on 500 or 1,000 gallon tanks heating the house and often a detached shop or garage as well. Brooklin’s growth has added a steady stream of newer rural builds on propane, and these tend to be higher-efficiency systems with predictable, model-able burn rates that suit automatic delivery well.
Working farms along the Ashburn and Myrtle concessions take agricultural propane for barn and shop heat, and some take crop-drying volume in the autumn.
Suburban south Whitby customers are appliance-driven — fireplace inserts, gas ranges, pool and patio heaters, and an increasing number of standby generators as rural and edge-of-town circuits have taken outages in recent ice storms.
Delivery scheduling for Whitby and Brooklin
Whitby shares routing with Oshawa on our core Durham run, and the Brooklin–Ashburn–Myrtle leg extends north from it. Practically, that means north Whitby gets served on the same cycle as Brooklin rather than being treated as a remote stop, and we can usually add a fill without a separate trip.
Automatic delivery customers are scheduled against degree-days and their own historical usage. For rural properties with long laneways, tell us at signup — laneway access in deep snow is the single most common cause of a missed winter delivery, and it is easily solved if we know in advance. Will-call fills need a few days’ notice, more during a cold snap. Emergency service is available 24/7.

Whitby propane questions
Do you deliver propane to Brooklin?
Yes. Brooklin is one of our busiest delivery areas in Whitby, covering both the village and the surrounding rural properties, along with Ashburn, Myrtle and Myrtle Station. The Brooklin leg runs off our core Durham route, so it is regular scheduled service rather than a special trip.
How much does propane cost per litre in Ontario?
No regulator publishes a residential delivered propane price for Ontario — propane is a deregulated, contract-negotiated commodity. Your per-litre rate is set by your annual volume, your contract type, delivery distance and tank arrangement. Our Ontario propane prices page sets out the market anchors and what moves the price; call 905-448-5955 for a quote on your address.
What size propane tank do I need for a house in north Whitby?
Most whole-home heating properties in Brooklin and rural north Whitby run a 500 US gallon tank. That figure is the tank’s water capacity (1,893 litres) rather than what goes in it — at a correct 80% fill it holds about 1,514 litres of propane, which typically covers a winter in three to four deliveries. Larger homes, or homes heating an attached shop, often go to 1,000 gallons to cut the number of fills. Homes running propane only for a fireplace, range or generator are usually fine on a 100 lb cylinder or a small above-ground tank.
Why is my propane tank only filled to 80%?
Liquid propane expands as it warms, so tanks are filled to 80% of water capacity to leave room for that expansion. It is a safety requirement under Ontario’s propane code — 80% on the gauge means full. Order your next delivery at around 25 to 30% rather than waiting for empty, since running fully dry requires a licensed technician to leak-test and purge the system before service resumes.
