Q: Is propane safe to use in my home?
A: Propane is a safe fuel to use in your home and business. Propane has a narrow range of flammability and cannot be ingested like gasoline or alcohol fuels because it is released as a vapor from a pressured container. In addition, we ensure that homeowners understand how to properly maintain their propane applicances and enjoy a healthy, safe environment.

Q: Is propane dangerous to the environment?
A: No. Propane is an approved, alternative clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane is one of the cleanest burning of all alternative fuels; new propane-fueled vehicles can meet the very tough Ultra-Low Emission (ULEV) standards. Propane is also nontoxic, so it's not harmful to soil or water.

Q: Why would I choose propane over electricity for my appliances and for heating my home?
A: According to the U.S. Department of Energy (Feb. 2000 projection), it could cost up to twice as much to operate your range, dryer or furnace with electricity rather than with propane gas. Propane gas furnaces and heaters provide more consistent warm air throughout your home at a lower cost than electric heat pumps and have a longer average life span of 20 years, compared with the 12-year average life span of an electric heat pump.

Q: How can I tell if I have a gas leak?
A: Propane gas is colorless and odorless, but when the odorant called ethyl mercaptan is added, it has the smell of rotten eggs. It's a good idea to use a propane detector as a backup warning system for the detection of propane gas.

Q: When should I call to have my tank filled?
A: Propane tanks are considered "full" when the gauge reads 80%. We recommend refilling a tank when the gauge reads 20%. In most cases, there will be ample time for us to make your delivery.
