Staying Safe while Using Propane

With the proper care, it is easy to use propane safely. If you are new to the world of propane, use the following tips to stay safe while enjoying this effective and efficient fuel source in your home:

Buy a Leak Detector

Although propane has a very distinctive smell, it is still a good idea to invest in a detector that can let you know if you ever have a gas leak. Installing a leak detector in your home gives you and your family the chance to learn of a leak immediately so you can safely evacuate the home.

Get Your Tank Maintained

You should always hire professional service technicians to come out and service your propane tank. They have the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure that everything looks good so you can continue to use propane safely in your home.

Clean Your Furnace

If you use a furnace in your home, you should clean it regularly to prevent unnecessary buildup that could create a dangerous situation. Consult your owner’s manual to see the most effective way to clean the furnace and keep your home safe at all times.

Avoid Lighting Open Flames Near the Gas

If you do have a leak, it is essential to avoid using any open flames near the gas flow or you could cause an explosion. Call for regular propane maintenance so the technicians can check for leaks and other issues that might eventually cause a safety hazard in your home.
