Preparing Your Propane-Powered Home For WinterTemperatures are dropping, which means many homeowners are turning up the thermostat to heat their homes. For those who heat their homes with propane, preparation can help make for a safe and easy transition. Inside your home 1. Refill your tank at the beginning of the season. If possible, ask us about setting up automatic deliveries to make sure your heat stays consistent and you don’t have to worry about your tank running low. Lastly, check your tank level prior to extreme weather or a long holiday weekend. Outside your home 1. Clean and store your propane grill. Be certain the tank valve is closed. Scrape any food off the grate, wipe down the outside and refer to the owner’s manual for additional cleaning suggestions. Make sure the grill and the grill cover are completely dry to avoid rusting. If possible, store your grill in a dry place as well. Preparing your household propane tank and appliances for winter is an important step to ensure the safety and efficiency of your heating. |
