Propane is one of the most versatile fuel sources out there. But whether you are just building your first home or are ready to convert to propane, you probably have questions. Today, we take a few moments to answer some of the most frequently asked questions to help you become more acquainted with the power of propane.
Why Propane?
Propane is a reliable fuel source year-round. It’s cleaner, greener, more affordable, and non-toxic, so it doesn’t pose a threat above or below ground. Propane is highly efficient, and most homeowners see reduced energy costs by switching their heating and cooking over to propane appliances. Propane can even make you more comfortable, especially if you like long, hot showers, as propane heats your water much faster and costs about 30% less than electric.
Should I Have It Professionally Installed?
Absolutely! While propane is non-toxic, it is still a combustible fuel and requires an expert hand. Our technicians are trained to install your propane tank and appliances using modern standards that are up to date with the latest safety guidelines.
How Often Do I Have My Propane Tank Refilled?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to how often a propane tank should be refilled. That’s why we recommend our Keep Filled Automatic Delivery schedule. Our systems track how much fuel your home or business uses based on usage patterns and outside temperatures. Fuel will then be delivered automatically when your tank reaches approximately 25% to 30% full.
What Do I Need to Know About Propane Safety?
Propane is considered one of the safest heating and cooking sources available. However, as a homeowner, you’ll be responsible for keeping your propane tanks clear and ensuring that kids, pets, and lawn care professionals don’t accidentally damage your tank. And if you do happen to smell that telltale rotten egg smell, you’ll need to know where your gas shut-off valves are and have our number handy.
