Last time my partner called it was your name isn't on the account- how, why- they were on the account previously - since it switched from western to superior - everything is worse Not to mention the person answering the call must have been at home tv and kid crying in the background read more

Good experience getting propane here! I did stop by during my lunch break from work only to find them closed for lunch. So that was kinda unfortunate. But I went back after work at 4:40pm and the technician immediately appeared and greeted me courteously. In the office, the girl was also nice and courteous. $20 bucks to fill an empty standard propane tank for my BBQ gas grill. They accept credit cards or cash. BE AWARE: THEY ARE CLOSED FOR LUNCH 12:00 TO 1PM!!!!!!! DON'T BOTHER GOING AT THAT TIME. THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED!!! This ^ review written based on Wednesday Oct 1st 2025 visit. read more

Rip off artists. They want to charge fees for everything and want to charge 150 dollars leak check that takes only a few min. With all the fees was going to average 10 dollars a gallon. Ever since they were taken over by the Canadians they care more about your wallet and not the customer. If you are considering them don't do it read more

Really unhappy with western right now. They came yesterday and filled our tank BUT SHUT IT OFF! without telling anyone. After trying to figure whyyy none of our essential things were working I went out to the tank to find a note saying they needed to check the pilots but nobody was home so I had to call them. Well let me just let everyone know that we were home, we let our dogs in so they wouldn't bark, my car is in the driveway which is RIGHT NEXT TO THE TANK. He didnt try to knock on the door or anything. So now we have no heater and it's winter my house is currently 55 degrees with 2 small children, I have no hot water to take a shower and no stove to cook any food. Cool western. Get your shit together cause im about to change services. read more

The Propane bottle guy must not like his job much, what a jerk! I'm typically pretty easy to get along with, this guy made it REALLY hard to be friendly with. Girls inside where you pay were friendly enough but customer service all around seems to be slipping here! There are too many Propane bottle refillers to put up with any attitude. Please bring back the old management! read more

When asked by AllTech who would I prefer to supply my propane tank for our whole-house backup generator, it was a no-brainer to say Western Propane. Years ago, we had used WP at our Lemon and avocado groves to power our fans when the temperatures dipped to freezing. They always came through. Now that we we have our 500 gallon tank dropped, our decision was confirmed. Very professional and friendly service. Bill Evans Nipomo, CA read more

These guys used to have their act together but now they really suck ass and no there's no better way to put it. For the second time this year, my tank has ended up empty because they didn't come by and top it off like they're supposed to. The last time, they claimed that we had a leak and needed to call a plumber before they'd turn the tank on. The plumbers checked all over and they determined that there was no leak at all. Western Propane returned and were like, "uh, I guess not!" The plumbers cost me $400. This morning I get to go thru this crap again with one of their monkeys. read more

Where I live in Chatsworth Lake Manor - I was literally the first to jump to Western - They were privately owned and prices were SOO good plus I liked the green tanks ..... Sadly, Western Propane was great while it lasted. *sigh* Now they've been bought out by Superior, seems we're back to the same ol' price gauging game. I just got 74 gallons and being charged $316 ... I have NEVER had a bill over $200 ... I have a small 120 gallon tank ... I am am tired of hearing the BS as to why they are gauging us - It is simple - they are publicly traded and have investors to pay - THE END I am pulling my business ..... they can suck it~ read more

I live near Frazier Park. Western Propane services this area out of Lebec. I discovered a small leak this AM at my tank. I had been stuck with Western's competitor with unsatisfactory results. A couple people mentioned Western, so I called them this AM. Unbelievably, Dave Cortez came out with the parts I needed (regulator) and installed it by 10:30 AM. That's the best service I've about ever had for anything! Moreover, they are going to come out, empty the tank to replace the defective valve, then refill the tank with my Propane. All at very affordable and fair prices. I am so pleased ... read more

These guys could not be more helpful, and they offered us the cheapest propane out of all the local suppliers. We moved into a new house and ran out of gas before setting up a contract with a supplier. Western came out the same day we called them for a quote and were able to swap out and refill our tank immediately. Plus, everyone we spoke to at the company was really helpful, polite and genuinely interested in trying to give us the best service. I'd recommend switching gas companies to Western. read more

From the Business

Specialties

When choosing a company to fulfill your propane needs, you want the right partner. Since Western Propane Service is locally owned and operated, we understand you as we live in the same community we serve. You will find that we offer you, the customer, a wide variety of options to meet your home and/or commercial propane needs.

History

Established in 1988.

Western Propane Service was founded Steve and Shelly Brown. The company has grown in many ways since then. Always having a strong family bond has made it easy to business from our family to yours. In the beginning, founder Steve Brown went door to door selling his products and services. As his company started to form, he soon had to service his new customers. Steve would set tanks for new accounts and fill existing customers in the morning, in the afternoon he focused on sales. Meanwhile, his wife Shelly was working from their home office taking care of the general office duties. As time went on, the Central Coast began to notice the loyalty Steve and Shelly had for their customers. Word of mouth advertising began to exceed the door to door sales routine. As time has progressed, the business has steadily grown. We now incorporate the latest technology in the industry to ensure you, the customer, get the pest product at the best price.
