AmeriGas has been the worst experience I have ever had.
AmeriGas has been one of the most frustrating companies I have ever dealt with. I own a vacation home in Rehoboth Beach. On February 28th my house manager called to tell me we were completely out of propane. I immediately called AmeriGas on March 1st to report it and ask when the 500-gallon tank was last filled. I was told it had been filled in mid-December — about 75 days earlier. Even with a cold winter, a 500-gallon tank normally lasts us close to 10 months, so we suspected there might be a leak. They scheduled a leak test for March 3rd. Because I don’t live there full-time, I specifically asked them to call my house manager 30 minutes before arriving. They took his phone number and assured me they would notify him. No call. On March 4th I called back to find out what happened. Apparently they went to the house without calling anyone and put a lock on the tank. After more calls and long waits, I finally reached a service coordinator named Alicia who scheduled another appointment for March 6th. Again — no call, no show. At this point I discovered something unbelievable: you cannot actually speak with anyone who works at AmeriGas. Every call goes through a call center or answering service. After multiple calls with nothing being resolved, I even contacted their sales department to see if I could buy the tank outright so another propane company could supply gas. Their response? They don’t sell buried 500-gallon tanks. I was told I would have to dig the tank out of the ground myself and then call them to come pick it up. I would gladly do that if it weren’t winter and the house didn’t rely on propane for heat and hot water. The sales rep said he would try to help — and then transferred me right back to the same useless call center. I scheduled yet another appointment for March 12th. I received an email confirming it and again was assured they would call before arriving. You guessed it: another no call, no show. I called again and escalated it to a call center manager. I asked if I could please speak with someone at AmeriGas directly and was told they do not take calls. After 44 minutes on the phone they said someone would call me back. Another day has now passed and no one has called. Meanwhile my house has no heat and no hot water, and every time I call I end up speaking to someone in another country who cannot actually solve the problem. This level of service is unacceptable. AmeriGas has locked my tank, missed multiple appointments, and made it nearly impossible to speak to anyone who can fix the issue. Avoid this company if you value your time, your sanity, or basic customer service.
