Our Company History

Brown’s Gas Company, Inc. was originally known as Town & Country Gas and started serving the Yuba-Sutter area in 1945. Elwin (Bob) and Lois Brown moved here in 1960 and purchased Town & Country Gas, changing the name to Brown’s Town & Country Gas. They were very active in the community and it was their mission to make sure that all customers were treated with common courtesy and respect. They believed that all customers should be treated alike and that quality of service should not be based on length of service or amount of fuel used. They developed a system that would treat all customers equally and believed that outstanding customer service would ensure customer retention. Customer service became and remains the main focus of Brown’s. As time went on, the Town & Country part of the name was dropped and the business continued as Brown’s Gas Company. In 1979, they purchased property in Oregon House and added a bulk tank to better serve all of our foothill/Yuba County customers from a more central location. Like many local businesses, the flood of 1986 affected Brown’s Gas Company and our office was eventually moved from Linda to Marysville where it remains.  In 1999, Beverlee McFarland took the company reins and continued her parents’ traditions. With the same principles and values instilled by her parents, she was driven to make sure that all of the customers’ needs were met and that the employees were treated as a family. Bev always wanted to be on the cutting edge of industry safety and ensure that Brown’s Gas Company was in compliance with all the regulatory agencies. She implemented continued industry and safety training for all employees as her addition to her parents’ legacy. In 2005, she incorporated the company as Brown’s Gas Company, Inc.  Today, under the leadership of the third generation of family in the business, Brown’s Gas Company, Inc. still follows all the values and principles put in place by its founders. We eagerly look forward to having our family serve yours.

Our Commitment to Customers

We treat all of our clients alike and don’t feel the need to hold you to any contracts—we let our work speak for itself. Nor do we have any “delivery charges” or “environmental fees” added to your propane deliveries. We’re straightforward and honest so that you can depend on us for top-quality service each and every time.

Automatic Propane Delivery

When it comes to propane fuel delivery, we want to ensure that it’s a reliable, convenient, and safe experience for all of our customers. That’s why we’re pleased to offer automatic delivery.  With automatic delivery, we do all of the work behind the scenes to schedule a delivery date for your home or business. We keep careful track of your past usage and other relevant factors and then automatically come fill your tank when we determine a delivery is needed. Best of all, there’s no need for you to be home when we deliver your propane. It couldn’t be easier for our customers!

Will-Call Propane Delivery

If you prefer, you can choose a will-call delivery option. This means that you will monitor your propane tank fuel gauge and notify us when the propane level is at 30% in order for your driver to make arrangements for your delivery. There are various payment options available to our will-call customers; please review them carefully as some require that the customer be home at the time of the delivery.

CYLINDER EXCHANGE AND DISPENSER SERVICES

Do you have a BBQ or small propane tank that needs to be refilled or replaced? Fill or exchange it quickly and easily for uses such as:

• Patio Heaters
• BBQ Grills
• Outdoor Fireplaces

24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE

Should you ever have problems with your propane equipment or find yourself in a fuel run-out situation, Brown’s Gas Company offers customers 24-hour emergency service. We are available to take your call any time day or night, 365 days a year.  If you need service after our regular business hours, your call will be taken by our live answering service personnel and dispatched to our on-call service technician who will gladly come to your home to take care of your emergency.
