At what tank percentage should I schedule a propane refill?
Fletcher runs along the natural-gas main — the airport and I-26 corridor are almost entirely main-served — so for most homes and businesses here there's simply no tank and no percentage to watch. Where propane does the job, out on rural Cane Creek and Howard Gap lots, the rule is a 30% refill and a 20% floor for steady cold-weather pressure.
Odds are you're on the main
If your Fletcher property sits in the built-up I-26 and Airport Road corridor, you almost certainly tie into the natural-gas main — supply is continuous, billed by the meter, and this whole question is moot. That's the everyday reality for most of the homes and the many commercial spaces along this stretch. The quickest way to know is the hookup itself: a meter means natural gas, a tank means propane.
For the rural tanks
Fletcher still has propane out on its rural edges — Cane Creek, Fanning Bridge, Howard Gap — where the main doesn't run. Those homes should call for a fill at 30% and never drop under 20%, since a near-empty tank can't build vapor pressure well on a cold night. Auto-delivery from the propane supplier is the low-effort way to hold that buffer year-round.
Commercial demand, same rules
Fletcher's commercial properties ask for gas fireplaces and outdoor features more than surrounding areas, and the fuel logic doesn't change — main-served units run continuously, propane units follow the 30% rule. When we install in Henderson County, we size, permit, and pressure-test, 20 minutes south of the Emma Rd showroom. For a fuel check or a commercial install, call (828) 545-0525.
