Propane Levac Propane

What Propane Levac Propane does

Propane Levac Propane Inc. is a privately held, family-owned Canadian propane distributor founded in 1993 in St-Isidore, Ontario, selling and delivering propane gas to approximately 37,000 residential, commercial, and agricultural customers across Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The company operates four regional service points (St-Isidore, Perth, Kingston, Kazabazua) and two railway transshipment terminals (Prescott and Montreal), supported by an owned delivery fleet that provides both automatic scheduled delivery via a degree-day consumption system and on-call delivery with 24/7 telephone support. Service is enhanced by the OTODATA wireless tank monitoring system (third-party technology integrated for proactive delivery planning) and the AirStatement customer portal and mobile app, which together let customers track tank levels, order propane, view invoices, and pay online.

The business operates three coordinated revenue streams: (1) retail propane sales and delivery to residential, commercial, and agricultural end users on usage-based pricing with pay-as-you-go and monthly billing; (2) wholesale propane distribution through its wholly-owned subsidiary Énergie LGP Inc., which transships bulk propane via rail and road to other propane marketers using the Prescott and Montreal terminals; and (3) ancillary tank services delivered through the Re-tank Expert subsidiary, covering installation, maintenance, and the TSSA-mandated 10-year safety inspections. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multiple payment methods accepted (installments, automatic bank withdrawal, credit card, bank transfer, mailed check). The company is BBB accredited, a member of the Canadian Propane Association and Propane Québec, and an early mover in Canada on renewable propane distribution, having received the country's first major commercial renewable propane rail shipment at its Prescott terminal. The firm is owned by the founding Levac family, has 51-100 employees, and reports no external institutional investors or parent company in the available data.
