AboutPropane Levac

A Family Business Since 1993

Propane Levac Inc. was founded by Jean-Marc Levac in 1993 in the village of St-Isidore, Eastern Ontario 
What began as a small agricultural business soon expanded into a successful propane distribution company when Jean-Marc broadened his services to include propane gas retail. With just one truck, he started delivering propane to the local community, offering personalized service that quickly built a strong reputation. Through word-of-mouth, the business grew rapidly, reaching 450 customers by the end of its first year. Over the years, Propane Levac has experienced exceptional growth. Today, the company serves around

40,000 customers across Ontario and Quebec, with more than 200 employees and six distribution centers, including locations in St-Isidore, Perth, Kingston, Montreal, Prescott and Kazabazua (QC).

Leadership Through the Generations

In 2001 and 2006, Jean-Marc’s sons, Etienne and Christian, joined the family business to ensure its continued growth and success. Since then, the company has consistently expanded, adding new trucks to its fleet annually and implementing processes and systems to enhance operations and management.

Our History

Propane Levac Propane inc. was born from the desire of Jean-Marc Levac, then owner of a small agricultural business in the village of St-Isidore, in Eastern Ontario, to expand his range of services. He then started selling propane gas at retail. He buys his first truck to deliver propane to the region. Customers are very satisfied with the personalized service. Thanks to word of mouth, the company, comprising at the time a president, a truck driver and a secretary, was a resounding success. At the end of this first year, Propane Levac inc. serves 450 clients. The company has since experienced remarkable growth. The number of customers now stands at around 37,000. More than 120 employees provide good service. Four other distribution centers were added, two in Ontario (Perth in 2001 and Kingston in 2007), as well as Montreal and Kazabazua, in Quebec, in 2010. In 2001 and 2006, Jean-Marc Levac’s two sons, Étienne and Christian, joined the team to ensure the succession of the family business. Since then, the company has continued to grow. New trucks are added to the fleet every year to meet the needs of customers and a new computer system was put in place in 2015 to improve the management of deliveries.

We have been Levac customers for over 14 years and have always had prompt and friendly service. Their drivers are always friendly and some even have treats for our black lab(Sailor). We recently requested a tank relocation and the 2 service techs were super and did a great job. I wish I could remember their names to give proper kudos. Keep up the great work

– Archibald W.

Well done, very professional. I’ve been a client for 6 years and always received an excellent service. Staff is genuinely nice when you call and very helpful. Delivery guys are great and always polite. We’ve stop using propane because we moved and do not have it here. We are planning to have it again and for sure, we are returning with your company. A happy customer!

I’ve been a customer with Levac Propane for over 5 years now. Best prices, best service and very professional. Their sales rep always checks in to see if there’s anything I need. Thank you for looking out for not just yourselves but also looking out for my business as well!

We moved nearly 2 years ago and had never used propane before, so were very apprehensive. Levac was one of the companies recommended to us and after speaking to them all, we found Levac to be the most welcoming and patient with all our newbie questions, thank you. Since then they have always delivered promptly and the drivers are always respectful of the property. This winter delivery has been very early in the morning, too early for even the dogs to notice. Very efficient! Thanks again.

– Bart & Sarah Jane C.

I have been a customer of Levac for over 4 years and we are pleased with the service. When we call for a refill, the delivery is done within 24 hours. The prices are very competitive and actually the best in our region of Monteregie, Quebec. I would and have recommended Levac to neighbors and friends. Keep up the great work.

– Adèle T.

Dependable friendly service! Highly recommended to all my friends and family.
