From regular inspections to safe handling practices, we prioritize propane safety.
Propane is trusted by many homeowners in the Alexander County, North Carolina area for its consistency, efficiency, and reliability. It also offers peace of mind as a safe and sustainable power source that provides continuous access to heating, cooking, and hot water, even during power outages. As with all components of your home, safety is essential to ensure that you get the best performance and protect your property from potential hazards. At Bumgarner Propane, we prioritize propane safety to ensure that it is handled and maintained properly.
It is important to leverage all the tools at your disposal for your propane needs, including regular inspections, maintaining equipment properly, and recognizing red flags that indicate repair needs. Annual tune-ups of your propane system, including tanks, piping, and appliances, ensure that everything is operating correctly and safely. Professionals can also identify potential issues early and prevent costly repairs down the road. Cleaning and inspecting your propane appliances regularly is equally important for propane safety. Remove any dust and debris that could pose a fire hazard and ensure that your vents are clear of obstructions. Keeping your propane tank clear of vegetation is a simple and effective maintenance task that mitigates hazards.
There are some red flags that can indicate the need for repair. Watch for signs such as:
- Unusual odors that can indicate a propane leak (such as a “rotten egg” smell).
- Hissing sounds near appliances.
- Pilot lights frequently going out.
- Yellow or red flames, instead of a normal blue flame.
Getting professional maintenance and care will help prevent accidents and ensure that your appliances and systems are operating properly.
Our maintenance plans, inspections, and other services will help you put propane safety first and keep your home running smoothly. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if ever you have questions or concerns about your propane needs.
