About Florida propane prices
Florida barely heats with propane at all. What demand exists runs to water heating, cooking, pool and spa heaters, restaurant kitchens and the tanks behind rural homes in the interior counties, not to furnaces. That makes the Florida price a delivery-economics number more than a weather number: a cold week in the Panhandle moves the state average far less than a change in what dealers pay for the gallon does.
The figure above is EIA's weekly survey average for Florida, collected from retail dealers during the October to March heating season and published Wednesday afternoons. No survey runs in the warm months, so the last spring reading stands until the fall. EIA publishes no wholesale price for Florida, so the chart carries the residential line alone. The wholesale series runs at the regional level instead, on the Lower Atlantic price page. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey, on five-year estimates, puts propane as the main heating fuel in 0.9% of occupied Florida homes, the lowest share in the country. Cold weather moves total Florida propane demand far less than it moves the national number.
For context beyond one state, Florida sits in the Lower Atlantic district: regional prices and Lower Atlantic propane stocks. Turning this price into a fill cost takes a tank size and a gauge reading; the propane usage calculator does that arithmetic and prefills the Florida price.
Common questions
What is the current propane price in Florida?
Florida's residential propane price is $4.972/gal as of Oct 26, 2026, the latest reading in EIA's weekly heating-season survey. The chart above carries the full history and the table shows the week-over-week move.
When is propane most expensive in Florida?
In EIA's weekly survey, which runs October through March, Florida's residential price set its season high in February in three of the last five heating seasons and March in two. The season low came in October in each of the last five heating seasons. From low to high the price moved an average of 27.9 cents a season, and the table above lists each season's high and low week. The regional wrinkle is that Lower Atlantic winters are milder, so the seasonal rise is usually shallower here, though poultry brooders and tobacco curing pull volume in the fall ahead of any real cold. Why propane prices rise in winter has the mechanics.
How does the Florida propane price compare with the Lower Atlantic average?
Florida's residential propane price averaged above the Lower Atlantic average in each of the last five heating seasons, by between $1.24 and $1.54 a gallon. In the Oct 26, 2026 survey Florida was at $4.972/gal against $3.699/gal for the Lower Atlantic average. The seasons table above gives the gap season by season, and Lower Atlantic propane prices carries the district's own chart.
Why is there no wholesale propane price for Florida?
EIA publishes no state-level wholesale (rack) price for Florida, so the chart above carries the residential line alone. The wholesale series runs at the regional level instead, on the Lower Atlantic price page, and the Mont Belvieu spot price is the national wholesale benchmark. How propane is priced walks through the delivered-service stack that separates a rack gallon from a delivered one.
