Tips to Keep Your Home Comfy and Safe During the Holidays

Propane is widely used in agricultural, commercial and industrial applications. When used properly, it is a safe and efficient fuel you can use for your property. As winter approaches, make sure that your tank is ready for extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions.

A trusted provider of HVAC services shares tips on maintaining your propane tank. 

Maintain Your Appliances

Appliances, such as your HVAC system, that use propane must be maintained routinely. With proper and regular maintenance, your equipment will run safely, stay efficient, and last longer. You should have your heating and cooling equipment checked and serviced at least once a year. 

Be Mindful of Your Gas Levels

A leak may occur during a fuel refill if you run out of propane gas. Make sure your heating oil delivery provider visits your home regularly to ensure you always have sufficient fuel in your tank. When the tank becomes empty, air and moisture can build up, which can result in rust. Once rusting occurs, it would become difficult to smell the gas in case there is a leak. 

Stay Alert for Gas Leaks

Propane is an odorless gas, but manufacturers add a specific smell to let consumers know if a leak occurs. If you smell a strong odor that resembles a dead animal or rotten eggs, there may be a gas leak. Shut down the supply valve as soon as possible once you notice this smell. Everyone should leave the house until an expert gets a look at the tank.
