Propane prices have dropped a little, but Iowans continue dealing with costs that have more than doubled, as the temperatures stay low and the furnace keeps burning through what’s in the tank.
Dennis Ostrander of Community Action of Southeast Iowa says there are several problems with the higher LP prices if money is tight…but a critical factor for those with low incomes…who heat with propane and seek help…is the minimum amount that most LP companies will deliver.
