When a New England cold snap hits, it hits hard. One minute you’re enjoying a crisp fall day, and the next, the temperature plunges, the wind howls, and your home’s heating system becomes the unsung hero of your survival plan. Anyone who has lived through a Nor’easter or subzero Arctic blast knows the truth: winter here doesn’t give warnings, it gives consequences.

That’s why having a reliable propane supply isn’t just convenient. It’s essential.

At Tankfarm, we’ve built our entire platform around one mission: take the stress, guesswork, and surprise costs out of heating your home—especially when the weather turns brutal. And nothing delivers peace of mind quite like our SMART tank monitor and automated refill service, backed by fair pricing, best-in-class customer support, and our Never Run Out Guarantee.

This is your Cold Snap Survival Guide, built specifically for New England homeowners who want to stay warm, protected, and fully prepared no matter how extreme the winter gets.

Why Cold Snaps Cause Propane Emergencies in New England

Cold snaps strain propane systems in ways most homeowners don’t realize. When temperatures drop sharply:

• Your furnace runs longer and harder, burning fuel faster
• Propane pressure inside the tank decreases, reducing system efficiency
• Delivery delays become more common due to snow, ice, and road closures
• Many homeowners overestimate their remaining fuel, leading to mid-storm runouts

This is where unmonitored tanks and manual delivery schedules fail. When winter weather is unpredictable, traditional propane service leaves customers crossing their fingers and checking gauges with flashlights at 2 a.m.

Tankfarm eliminates all of that.

How Tankfarm’s Smart Tank Monitor Keeps You Warm 24/7

Every Tankfarm customer receives a free SMART tank monitor, installed at no cost. It automatically tracks your tank level in real time and sends that information straight to your phone and to our logistics team.

Here’s how it transforms winter propane management:

✅ Real-Time Fuel Tracking

You’ll always know your exact tank level, even during whiteout conditions. No guessing. No manual checks. No surprises.

✅ Smart Alerts & Data-Driven Refill Planning

If your usage spikes during a cold snap, the monitor detects it instantly. Our system recalculates your delivery schedule based on actual demand, not outdated averages.

✅ Storm-Proof Peace of Mind

New England storms don’t wait for business hours. Your monitor doesn’t either. It runs 24/7—so you’re protected 24/7.

This is technology built to thrive in tough weather, not fail during it.

Auto-Fill: The Secret Weapon for Cold Snap Reliability

Tankfarm’s automated delivery service paired with tank monitoring means your home stays heated without you lifting a finger.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:

• No more calling for deliveries

We get the alert when your tank hits its refill threshold—you don’t have to do anything.

• No emergency fees, ever

We don’t believe in hidden fees or surprise costs. With Tankfarm, you’ll never be charged delivery fees, hazmat fees, tank rental fees, or “deep winter” surcharges.

• The Never Run Out Guarantee

Our combination of smart monitoring + auto-fill prevents runouts entirely.
If you’re a Tankfarm customer on automatic delivery and your monitor is installed… you will never run out of propane, period.

Fair, Transparent Pricing—Even During Extreme Weather

Winter storms and supply chain fluctuations often send propane pricing all over the map. Many New England providers increase rates, add delivery fees, or quietly charge tank rental bills during the cold months.

Tankfarm does the opposite.

Our Fair Pricing Promise:

• No tank rental fees
• No delivery fees
• No hidden charges of any kind
• Transparent, competitive pricing backed by real-time market data

We use technology to drive efficiency—so your cost stays fair. Our customers never pay for inefficiencies in the system. Only the propane they actually use.

New England winters test both people and propane providers. Tankfarm customers, however, get reinforced support from a team with one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the entire propane industry.
