Polar Gas

Polar Gas is a locally owned and operated full-service propane delivery company.  Since 1960 we have been reliably delivering propane to homes and businesses.  We have worked hard to keep our operating costs and expenses low so we can pass those savings on to our customers. 

Our History

In 1960 my grandfather, Bruce Reed, bought a small bulk plant and started Reed Oil Company. He began selling gasoline and diesel fuel in and around Brighton, Colorado. The business was always a family affair and in 1966 his sixteen year old son, my father Sam, started delivering fuel for the company. At age 24, Sam bought the company and continued to grow the business throughout the 70’s and early 80’s.  In 1983, Sam purchased his first propane truck and by 1987 he had stopped selling gasoline and diesel fuel altogether, focusing solely on propane. In 2001, to accurately reflect the company’s concentration on propane, Dad changed the name of the business from Reed Oil Company to Polar Gas.  After graduating college, my brother Chris and I both came to work for the family business. As we moved towards handling all of the day to day operations, dad decided he was ready to start transitioning into retirement. Since 2002, when Chris and I took the reins, business has more than tripled. In 2007 we added a bulk plant in Estes Park. We added Idaho Springs and Ft. Lupton in 2010, Briggsdale in 2013, Blackhawk in 2015, and Kiowa in 2016.  Because we are family-owned, we especially value the importance of exceptional service and trust. Our family owes all of our success to our loyal customers and extraordinary employees. We cannot thank you all enough for your support over the years.

Polar Gas specializes in residential & commercial propane delivery in Colorado’s  Front Range and surrounding mountain communities.

Propane Delivery Service

Auto-fill is a service we offer where we forecast your demand based on the weather and your appliances. We will then automatically fill your tank on route. We ask that you still keep an eye on your tank percentage and call us if the tank gets below 30%. (Credit approval required for auto-fill)

Our Will Call delivery option means that you must schedule deliveries either by calling or ordering online. We recommend scheduling the delivery when the tank is at 30% or higher as the typical delivery window is 7-10 days for Will Call customers.

New Installation

We will help you estimate your annual usage and determine the best size tank for your home or business. We handle all of the details to make the process easy for our customers. A new tank installation takes about two hours.

Customer Owned Tanks

If you own your propane tank, it’s easy to switch to Polar Gas. We require a Propane Safety Check prior to your initial fill. During this process, we document all of your propane appliances and check the integrity of your system. This takes approximately 30 minutes and requires the homeowner to be home.

Tank Switch Out

If you have a competitor’s tank and would like to switch to Polar Gas, we are happy to help. We would set our tank in place of your current tank, hook everything back up and get your system running again. We would then perform a Propane Safety Check to make sure everything is safe and running as it should. This process typically takes less than two hours.
