Should I set up automatic propane delivery or stay on will-call if I use my fireplace a lot?
Fletcher sits right on the natural-gas main — the I-26 corridor and the 1990s subdivisions are gas country — so most homes and businesses here never touch a propane tank or a fill schedule. If your place is one of the outliers on propane and you use the fireplace hard, automatic delivery is the low-risk pick over will-call.
Gas-main country, mostly
Fletcher is one of the towns where the natural-gas main does the work. The airport-area commercial buildings and the subdivisions along the corridor run metered gas with no tank to watch, which means auto-versus-will-call simply isn't a decision most people here have to make.
It's worth confirming your own hookup before you worry about any of this — odds are strong you're already covered.
For the propane exceptions
A home tucked off the main out toward Cane Creek or Howard Gap may still be on propane. There, a heavy user is better off with automatic delivery: the supplier estimates your burn from how cold it's been and fills ahead, instead of leaving you to catch a low gauge in time on a busy week.
