Propane for Falcon's Mix of Neighborhoods and Rural Properties
Falcon, Colorado is one of the fastest-growing communities in El Paso County, and it presents a unique propane delivery landscape. On one side, you have established planned communities — Meridian Ranch with its golf course and rec center, Woodmen Hills, Paint Brush Hills, and Falcon Estates — where acreage lots and newer construction have never been connected to Colorado Springs' natural gas infrastructure. On the other side, you have the long-established rural properties stretching out along Meridian Road, Hwy 24 east of Falcon, and into the open country toward Peyton and Calhan.
Both populations share the same reality: propane is the primary fuel source, and when winter arrives on the high plains east of the Front Range at nearly 6,900 feet of elevation, a full tank and a reliable delivery company aren't optional.
Brothers Propane serves the full Falcon corridor. We know the neighborhoods, we know the rural roads — Falcon Highway, Meridian Road, Woodmen Road, Curtis Road, Enoch Road, Black Forest Road north of Hwy 24 — and we have the equipment and local knowledge to reach properties that a big-name national propane company will happily take your payment for and then leave sitting when conditions get difficult.
Falcon Regional Park and Falcon's growing commercial district along Woodmen Road have helped put this community on the map, but what most people outside of eastern El Paso County don't appreciate is how genuinely rural it still gets just a few miles off the main roads. We know, because we drive those roads every week.
New Construction in Falcon: Getting Your Propane Set Up Right
Falcon has seen significant residential development over the past decade, and that trend shows no signs of slowing. New developments are pushing out along Meridian Road to the south and east along Hwy 24, and a substantial portion of these new builds are propane-only — there's simply no natural gas service this far out.
If you're buying or building a new home in the Falcon area, the propane conversation should happen early. Tank size selection matters — a 250-gallon tank might look attractive on the purchase price, but if you're heating 2,800 square feet through a Colorado winter plus running a tankless water heater and a gas range, you'll burn through it in 6–8 weeks and pay more in delivery fees than the tank size difference ever saved you.
We work with builders and general contractors throughout the Falcon corridor to help size tanks appropriately for the homes they're building. We handle the installation, coordinate with your builder on placement, manage the permit process through El Paso County, and fill the tank before you move in. Getting this right from the start makes everything simpler down the road.
Tank Size Guide for Falcon-Area Homes
- 120-gallon: Supplemental use only — propane fireplace, backup generator with moderate use, gas dryer. Not suitable as a primary heat source.
- 250-gallon: Small home under 1,500 sq ft with moderate heating demand, or larger home with propane for water heater and cooking only.
- 500-gallon: The right choice for most Falcon-area homes between 1,500–3,000 sq ft using propane as the primary heat source.
- 1,000-gallon: Large homes over 3,000 sq ft, whole-house generator setups, or properties with multiple propane appliances including outbuildings.
Why Falcon Residents Choose Brothers Propane Over the Big Names
We Actually Show Up
National propane companies serve the Falcon area too — until there's a major winter storm and the county roads are sketchy. Local companies with local drivers who know the terrain have a much better track record of completing deliveries when they're needed most.
No Corporate Pricing Games
Propane pricing from the big national chains often involves minimum delivery fees, hazmat surcharges, and rural delivery fees that inflate your final bill well beyond the per-gallon price they quote. We're transparent.
Emergency Availability
When you run out of propane at 10pm on a February night in Falcon, a national company's after-hours line won't help you. We offer emergency out-of-gas service for our customers.
Flexible Account Options
Automatic delivery, will-call, budget billing, pre-buy programs — we offer account options that work for how you actually live, not a one-size-fits-all corporate plan.
