Make Sure you Practice Propane Safety this Summer!


There is no denying the power of propane. In addition to being highly efficient, it’s clean, versatile, and made right here in America. Although propane has an excellent safety record, it’s important to always practice propane safety to limit the chances of an issue.

 

Your safety is our goal at New England Propane. Please review the propane safety tips below and share them with your family so everyone in your home knows what to do in the event of a leak.

 

  1. Schedule inspections and tune-ups: All repairs to your propane system need to be done by a certified professional. Call New England Propane to service your equipment and make sure you have a leak-free system.

 

  1. Proper Storage: Propane tanks should always be stored outside in a dry place, on an even surface, and should have ample ventilation. They should also remain upright and secure to avoid issue.

 

  1. Clean up Around Your Tank: You always want to keep a clear path to your tank. Make sure there aren't any branches or bushes around or in the path to the tank so our delivery drivers can easily access your tank.

 

  1. What to do if You Smell propane:
    • Do not ignite flames or sparks
    • Do not turn any light switches on/off
    • Leave the area immediately
    • Shut off the gas if it is safe
    • Report the leak to 911 or New England Propane right away
    • Do not return to the building or area
    • Have your system checked!
