Designing for Sun: the facts that matter
17.3% of homes in Sun heat with propane or other bottled gas, against 2.0% in Louisiana. Fuel delivery, furnace service and chimney work are steady local trades here, and the first cold week sends everyone searching. A page per service, written the way customers say it, with your service area, works better than a single long list.

Do you have an office in Sun?
No. Everything happens online and by email, from Curitiba, Brazil; you see the whole website on a temporary link before approving it.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee: you only pay the $89 monthly fee, after you approve your website. There is no lock-in contract either: you can end the service whenever you need.
