Heating Precautions
The first and foremost step that should be taken is to secure the safety of your propane tank by marking it with neon-painted long poles or with colorful flags. These markings increase the probability that the tank will be easily seen by snowplow operators, rescue vehicles, and service technicians when the snow has accumulated several feet high. Another advantage of marking an underground tank is that it makes refilling the tank a lot easier. Periodic and regular check-ups of the tank for an adequate supply of propane gas can put off many anxieties during emergency periods for example after a heavy snowfall your street would not be snowplowed for several days making your home inaccessible for delivery. If you are informed about the supply level of propane in your tank in advance then in the times of storm forecast you can call the service provider in time before the disaster strikes. Call your propane supplier to get instructions on how to shut off indoor and outdoor propane appliances. This lesson can go for all family members.
Instructions, if are in writing and kept inaccessible place that is within easy reach, will make all the family members switch off electricity, propane, and water resources. Propane gas detectors on every level of the house can provide an extra amount of security. For maintenance of optimum results read the manufacturer’s manual, and install and locate the propane gas detector carefully. Regularly clear away all the snow that accumulated near or on the propane tank or the snow can crack or freeze the pipes causing gas to leak and pool in the snow leading to a potentially dangerous ignition source. Also while cleaning the snow from chimneys, vents or pipes always use a broom instead of a shovel to avoid any damage to propane system components. A strong smell similar to skunk spray, dead animals, or rotten eggs can mean a possible leakage from your propane tank. Know this smell and shut off all propane sources.
