Reliance Propane Services

November 2022


Legacy Energy Consulting is happy to announce that we recently facilitated the successful sale of Reliance Propane Service, based in Oroville, CA to ThompsonGas, LLC headquartered in Frederick, MD.


Reliance Propane was started by Scott & Carolyn Steele in 1990 and has serviced the northern California communities of Oroville, Paradise, Chico, Marysville, Yuba City and Williams for over 30 years. 


Reliance Propane Service is the seventh completed deal for Legacy Energy Consulting in 2022, and its twelfth in less than two years. 


Statement from the Seller:

Chad and Tyler made up a great team to guide us through the sale process. Chad's many years in the industry and experience in acquisitions from both the sale and purchase side proved to be vital in getting our sale completed, and their communication and organization was always prompt and efficient. 


Their understanding and flexibility working through this very challenging and stressful process was exactly what was needed to make it happen and I am confident that using Legacy Energy Consulting was the right decision. We got it done and made a friend in the process and I am now positive that I would not have wanted to handle this sale on my own.


They were personal but professional, and really care about finding the best solution for their client.
