Bumgarner Propane FAQs

A: At Bumgarner Propane, we believe in transparency and customer care. The “Compliance Fee,” also referred to as the Safety Practices & Training Fee, helps cover some of our safety-related costs, including vehicle and facility inspections, as well as employee training and testing. This fee is a fixed charge and does not vary with the volume of propane delivered. This is a standard practice for the propane industry.

A: We offer FREE tank swaps for all above ground tanks! The process is as easy as possible. Your previous provider does not need to move the tank. We submit the letter of intent and move the existing tank out of your way (the customer) and place our tank. The other company does not have to remove their tank first.

A: To understand why leak tests are needed for your propane system, you first have to understand some basics about how propane equipment works.

Propane systems use plumbing pipes to connect the main supply of propane (your propane tank) to appliances in your home. Propane gas is forced through these pipes, creating pressure on pipe fittings and the hardening compounds that seal them. As gas pressure varies, pipes joints and seals weaken; over time, this could lead to a gas leak. A leak test checks the integrity of these joints and seals.
