Tumwater's Propane Supply FAQs
What Is Degree Day Monitoring?
The degree day system was developed by heating engineers who wanted a method to relate daily temperature to the demand for fuel to heat buildings. To calculate the heating degree days value for a particular day, Acme Fuel will find the day’s average temperature by adding the day’s high and low temperatures and then divide by two. If the number is above 65, there are no heating degree day value for that day. If the number is less than 65, we will subtract it from 65 to find the number of heating degree days. For example, if the day’s high temperature is 60 and the low is 40, the average temperature is 50 degrees. 65 minus 50 equals 15 heating degree days for that day.
How Much Heat Does An Oil Burner Make?
The efficiency levels of oil heat systems can exceed 95 percent. For every gallon of oil burned 138,000 BTU’s of energy are released.
What Is The Difference Between A Furnace And A Boiler?
To heat the home a furnace uses air and a boiler uses water. A furnace uses the flame from the oil burner to heat air, which is distributed throughout the house. A boiler uses the flame to heat water that is either sent around the house in pipes to radiators or is sent to a fan coil unit that heats air.

The customer service from Acme Fuel is 5 star. The scheduling staff is friendly, kind and efficient. We noted that we didn’t have power and with the snow coming we wanted to make sure we didn’t run out of propane. They made a note and the driver showed up the next day asked how were doing and if we had power yet. Many thanks to this business for their exception customer service.

Acme Fuel is the Best. I have been a propane customer for 15 years.Some how they always know when it is time to refill my 120 gal tank I have never had to call for service. One morning as I was waking up it came to me it may be time for a refill when I got up noticed a truck noise and Wow! The Acme Guy was filling the tank. Great Service and I have shared the info with friends.

The driver for ACME just delivered my fuel on 5-15-19. I was outside working in the yard when he arrived, very efficient, nice and friendly. We are set up for automatic deliver; my husband and I have been a customers for 11+ years. I never have to make a call, we have never run out of fuel as they know our usage and always get here to put fuel in our tank. Thank you for many years of service and many more years in the future.

Usually one of the cheapest places in town that ain’t gonna make you drive the extra distance out to Tumwater or through the miserable roundabouts. It’s a 24 hour, self serve, and CARD ONLY sort of place that also has ETHANOL FREE fuel for roughly $0.60 extra (BRING YOUR FUEL JUGS). There aren’t any attendants. The trucks that bring in the fuel are literally parked right beside the pumps.Ohh, and the propane place is ACME just two and a half blocks south southeast.

Acme Fuel's clear & competitive propane pricing promise
Other companies may try to tempt you with “teaser rates”, selling you a set price only to raise it later with surprise charges and fees. Even worse, fuel companies even lower their prices in the summer when you need propane the least just to artificially raise them again in the winter when you need propane the most! Acme Fuel does not support dishonest business practices. Because we want to be a company that our Tumwater customers can count on, our prices change only when our wholesale price changes. Contact us now for details on our current propane and heating oil prices.
