Benefits of Choosing Shipley Energy
Pricing Options
- Market price program – delivers propane on a per-gallon basis that reflects the current market price.
- Pre-buy price program – buy in advance to lock-in a guaranteed rate for one full heating season.
- Cap price program – our best value. You never pay more than your capped rate, but you can pay less. As propane prices fall, so does your price. If propane prices rise, your price does not go above the capped rate, protecting you from surging costs.
- LIHEAP Grant – Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Grants helps families pay their heating bills. LIHEAP offers both a cash and crisis grant. You must qualify and apply for LIHEAP and select Shipley Energy as your propane provider.

What Affects the Price of Propane?
Several things affect the market price of propane in PA and MD. The most significant is the price of crude oil — crude oil is the main ingredient in propane refining, and if the cost to purchase it is high, the cost of propane will reflect that.
The other major factor is supply and demand. As a commodity with a finite supply, stronger demand for propane — particularly in the winter when homes use it for heating — leads to higher prices. Conversely, in the summer, when propane is less in demand, prices tend to be lower.
Finally, the last major factor affecting the price of propane in PA is transportation and delivery, which is set by the supplier.
