PROPANE SAFETY
Propane safety is essential for ensuring the well-being of both your home and your loved ones. As a clean and efficient energy source, propane is widely used for heating, cooking, and powering various appliances. However, it’s crucial to handle propane with care and follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents. Always make sure that propane tanks and appliances are installed and maintained by a qualified professional. Regularly inspect your propane system for leaks, and if you suspect a leak, immediately turn off the gas supply, avoid open flames, and ventilate the area. Installing a propane gas detector in your home adds an extra layer of protection. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the smell of propane—a strong, unpleasant odor similar to rotten eggs—so you can quickly identify potential leaks. By taking these precautions, you can safely enjoy the many benefits of propane in your daily life.

When it comes to gas appliances, safety is a top priority. If you smell gas in your home, follow these steps:
- NO FLAMES OR SPARKS. Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire.
- LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY. Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking.
- SHUT OFF THE GAS. Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it is safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it to the right (clockwise).
- REPORT THE LEAK. From a neighbor’s home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. If you can’t reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department.
- DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING OR AREA until your propane retailer, emergency responder, or qualified service technician determines that it is safe to do so.
- GET YOUR SYSTEM CHECKED. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, your propane retailer or a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free.
