Dealer Point is more than an online dealer rolodex. Every equipment dealer listed in the database is vetted by a series of questions prior to being listed so contractors know they are contacting a dealer with a legitimate interest in selling propane equipment in addition to an ability to answer their questions about the fuel.
If a recent industry survey conducted by PERC is any indication, Dealer Point is positioned to continue adding dealers with knowledge of propane equipment. More than 60% of dealers surveyed by PERC in 2016 said they expected to offer propane equipment in the next 3 years.
Dealers from 47 states are currently listed in the database and several states have dozens of signups already listed. Pennsylvania has more than 40 dealers listed; Texas has more than 30 dealers listed; while Florida, California, and Indiana all have more than 20 dealers listed.
