Blackhawk Propane Company, Inc., is a family-owned supplier of propane for thousands of residential, farm and industry customers in the Wisconsin-Illinois stateline area.  Robert Zeek, Sr., and Dan Bruschi started the company in 1953 on Blackhawk Boulevard in South Beloit, Illinois. Back then, the company focused mainly on supplying gas and other welding supplies to industrial clients.   Through the years, the need for a local supplier of propane grew. In 1994, the welding supply component of the company was sold and the headquarters of Blackhawk Propane moved to the companys storage site on Doner Drive.   Today, Robert Zeek, Jr., is president of the company and his mother Ann and brother Scott are also involved in making Blackhawk Propane the customer-focused company stateline residents know and trust for all their propane needs.   The other employees of Blackhawk Propane, including manager Phil Elmer who has been with the company for 35 years, are also committed to providing personal service. Because Blackhawk Propane is locally owned and operated, customers are treated like the friends and neighbors that they are to us.  We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and competitive prices.

Residential Tank Sizing Overview

Here in the Stateline area consisting of Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois we deal with both hot and cold climates. When we have our colder weather your homes require more fuel for heating.  This is probably the most important factor when you are selecting residential or home heating propane tanks. Keep in mind that when you use Blackhawk Propane for your propane needs you are getting true professionals that will help you understand the need and most certainly satisfy that need. If you are a city dweller and need propane or live in the country and are in need of a farm and home propane tank, Blackhawk Propane is the answer. 

Commercial Propane Tanks

Because propane is a clean-burning, reliable energy source, many businesses choose it for powering vehicles, generators and manufacturing processes. Many businesses also use propane just as our residential customers do: for heating a building, cooking, decorative lighting and water heating.   Blackhawk Propane supplies fuel to businesses for generating heated water or steam for manufacturing, to power commercial dryers or to run kilns.

Even if propane is not the primary fuel source, many businesses use it as a secondary or temporary fuel source. For example, a factory may use propane for a back-up fuel source to ensure continued operation even when the primary fuel source is unavailable or expensive due to price fluctuations.   Propane is also an excellent source of temporary heat during the construction phase of a building project, even if the building will eventually use natural gas. Weve supplied propane for such projects as the Beloit Inn, Beloit Memorial Hospital and many other projects while they were under construction.  Propane is an efficient fuel source for vehicles, especially forklifts. Many companies prefer the use of propane-powered forklifts, especially for indoor use, because they operate with little pollution and they dont have to be recharged for long periods, like electric models do. They are also less expensive to purchase and to run. As a result, nearly 500,000 forklift trucks in use are powered by propane, according to the National Propane Gas Association. Commercial propane is a clean-burning fuel that is also used for millions of bus, taxi, delivery and other fleets to minimize air pollution in metropolitan areas. Blackhawk Propane specializes in 33 pound commercial propane cylinders that are used in operating forklifts. We can also supply other sizes as well.
