Install process was straightforward. The guy looked at the location, said it was fine. Leveled the blocks and set the Tank. He sleeved the ends of the Poly Tubing for the Risers, installed the Regulator. Did the connections and leak tested. I fired the Heater to run while He did his paperwork. All was fine so He left! The Tank Truck will be by later this week to Fill. He said that I own the Regulators and as long as I get at least 1 Refill a Year there is NO Lease Charge for the Tank.

Regarding the "get the price in writing" point....I might not bother with that.
As a NG guy, I've dealt with more PO'ed farmers in the last 10 years than I can count and to a man it was because they "locked in" prices with a supplier, prices went up, and the supplier either claimed he could no longer buy propane, or they simply quit answering the phone and went out of business.
It's like if you went to the gas station today and said, How much for gasoline for the rest of the year? I don't know exactly how much I'm going to need or when I'm going to need it....I just need to know exactly what I'm going to pay for it. How can they give you an answer? Yet LPG suppliers do it all the time, pocket the difference if prices go down and MAYBE eat the difference if prices go up.
To the OP...if it was me I'd buy my own tank and shop the gas when I need it filled. That typically will get you the best price.
This is true. My propane supplier is good but I laugh every year when they offer me pre-buy. They want you to commit to buying a certain number of gallons and you’ll pay for it but then in the fine print it says that they can opt out of the pre-buy at any time if they can’t supply the propane at that price. So, it’s pointless for me. Luckily for me, I have enough storage capacity that I only need to fill once per year so don’t need any winter fills.
