Winter safety tips…

Follow these steps to ensure a safe and warm winter:

1. Provide a clear pathway to your propane tank and keep driveways accessible in the event you need a propane delivery.
2. Just like walkways, propane equipment needs to be cleared of snow after a storm. If a propane tank is buried under several feet of snow, it is best to use a broom to carefully clear the snow off the tank and around any exposed piping, regulator, gauges and tubing.
3. Gas intake and exhaust vents for the clothes dryer, furnace and water heater should be clear of snow or ice. A four-foot area should be kept clear around the vents to prevent high winds from funneling in.
4. Regulator vents on the propane system should be free of condensation. If frozen, it could cause a malfunction. If a regulator vent is clogged with iceor snow, contact us immediately.
5. Please mark underground tank’s location with a brightly colored stake or flag several feet above the ground so we can identify your tank in the event of a heavy snow storm.
6. Last but not least, please check the propane tank percentage gauge periodically and call us if it reads between 20-30 percent. Or, before you call a repairman, in case you might be out of propane!

Please give us a call if you have any questions!
