"We were so impressed with your company that we would love it if you could service our propane needs for our 2026 summer festival. The technician you sent last year was wonderful. I hope we can work with the same person now that he knows our operation. Look forward to working together. "

"KEP's propane services were a huge asset at our festival in Chicago this past June! They handled the communications with our events' food vendors professionally and without issue. They manage everything about the vendors' propane needs: from pre-show load-in to during show tank changes and troubleshooting, and post show clean up. Their staff was available throughout the entire weekend and was always a pleasure to interact with. Their working relationship with the local fire marshall was an asset to the whole event. They conveyed improvements for 2026 that I will certainly implement to continue to grow our relationship with them in Chicago and beyond."

"Dominic and the team at KEP were instrumental in supporting our propane needs for Windy City Smokeout. From the outset, they clearly communicated expectations, timelines, and requirements, which helped us feel confident going into a complex and high-volume event. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile ensured seamless delivery and service throughout the weekend. We truly appreciated their partnership and look forward to working with them again in the future."

"If you are considering using a propane vendor and want the best, KEP should be your choice.".. "My family owns Novi's Beef in Berwyn and we have been in business for nearly 70 years. During this time frame, we have done hundreds of festivals in and around the Chicagoland area that require propane to keep our food hot and to have gas provided to our grills. I have worked with many different propane vendors throughout the years and I can say, with absolute certainty, that KEP Propane stands out as the best of them all. Each team member of KEP is professional, knowledgeable, caring and provides the highest level of safety when dealing with propane gas. I often tell them that they are like air - you don't realize their importance until they are gone. If you are considering using a propane vendor and want the best, KEP should be your choice."

Owner | Novi's Beef
"From start to finish, the team at KEP Propane delivers. They helped determine our needs, provided all the necessary equipment and staffing, secured propane tanks and were on-site managing their operation throughout our event. It was great to know such an important part of our major event was handled with such professionalism and expertise."

"For twenty years I’ve worked with Rich and his team. I’ve never had a problem that they couldn’t fix. They are quick to fix any equipment. They have been a lot of help for us even with multiple booths. This is a really good company. Dominic taking over and bringing in his team has been a huge help for us, with Rich and his experience behind the scenes. They make my job a lot easier."
