Propane Safety Tips for Home and Business
What to Do in Case of a Leak
- Leave the Area Immediately: If you smell propane, evacuate everyone from the area.
- Avoid Flames or Sparks: Do not turn on or off any lights, appliances, or cell phones, as these can create sparks.
- Turn Off the Gas Supply (if safe to do so): If accessible, close the main gas supply valve on the tank.
- Call for Help: Once at a safe distance, contact us or emergency services to report the leak. Do not return until the area has been inspected and cleared by professionals.
- Know the Smell of Propane: Propane has a distinct, sulfur-like odor to help detect leaks. If you ever smell this odor, leave the area immediately and contact us or your local emergency services.
- Install and Maintain Detectors: Install propane and carbon monoxide detectors in areas where propane is used. Regularly check and replace batteries to ensure they’re functioning properly.
- Keep Propane Tanks in Safe Locations: For both indoor and outdoor tanks, ensure they are installed in well-ventilated areas, away from direct heat or open flames. Never store propane tanks inside a building or enclosed space.
- Follow Proper Usage and Storage Guidelines: Always use propane appliances as instructed and avoid DIY repairs or modifications. When storing smaller propane cylinders, keep them upright and in secure, ventilated locations.
- Regular Inspections and Maintenance: Schedule routine maintenance for your propane appliances and systems to keep them running safely. Our technicians are trained to inspect, repair, and maintain systems to meet all safety standards.
