"A lot of people qualify that don't know they qualify. And even if you don't have that emergency situation where you're in disconnect notice. If you use bulk fuel and your bulk fuel gets down to 25% or less, and that's something that's a huge benefit because propane especially costs a lot," said Kris Keller, community services director at WOCAP.
