“A lot of people think they can take a few months off from thinking about propane and their heating system when the weather starts to warm up, but Spring is actually a great time of year to make sure your propane system is in good working order,” Ferrellgas’ Vice President of Retail Operations
Spring Cleaning Tips For Your Propane System
Proper maintenance can help your propane appliances run smoothly and allows you to heat your home safely and efficiently for many winters to come. Here are a few helpful spring-cleaning tips for propane homeowners:
- Locate and remove any combustible materials or debris around your propane tank or cylinder. Propane is flammable, and homeowners are encouraged to keep materials such as dry grass and wood a minimum of 10 feet from tanks and cylinders. Eliminating any debris around or leading to the tank also helps our Drivers Fuel Life Simply for all our customers.
- Do you have landscaping plans this year? Be sure to know what’s below ground before you dig by calling 811 or visiting call811.com. You don’t want to unintentionally dig into an underground utility line!
- Consider marking the location of your tank with a stake or flag, especially if it’s located underground. This will help
Ferrellgas locate your tank even if the grass gets high. - If you have any propane appliances that haven’t been used since the fall such as a pool heater or grill, consider having them inspected by a qualified technician prior to using. Sediment and debris can build up over time, especially when an appliance has not been used regularly.
- Never store portable
Blue Rhino -sized tanks indoors, including in a garage. Regulations call for storing these tanks in a cool, outdoor, well-ventilated area. - Download and familiarize the members of your family with the propane safety information on the
Ferrellgas website.Ferrellgas understands the importance of safety for your home and your family. Taking these safety measures is just as important as checking your heating system this time of year.
