Frequently Asked Questions

Propane, also known as liquefied petroleum gas, LP gas, or LPG, is produced from natural gas processing or the refining of crude oil. It’s nontoxic, colorless, and nearly odorless; however, for your protection an odor is added, so it can be easily detected when needed.

Propane is an incredibly safe, reliable, non-toxic, non-poisonous and eco-friendly energy source that poses no threat at all to soil or groundwater. Knowing how to properly use and store propane as well as how to detect the warning signs of a propane gas leak can dramatically reduce the risk of a propane-related hazard.

Your propane tank gauge can typically be found on the top of the tank, usually underneath a liftable hood. (Please note: Be careful when you lift the tank hood, insects can sometimes nest in it.)

If you’re not enrolled in our automatic propane delivery service, and you’re monitoring your own propane tank levels, make sure to request a propane delivery when your tank reaches no lower than 30% capacity. As mentioned, we can handle your propane tank monitoring for you! If you live in the Northwest Ohio area, sign up for our automatic propane delivery service and ditch the headache and the hassle of monitoring your tank.

Propane is delivered and stored in liquid form. Propane expands incredibly rapidly as a gas; therefore, it needs a bit of space to expand in your tank. As a result of this rapid expansion, propane tanks and cylinders are typically filled to about 80, or 85 percent of their capacity to account for this.

Propane is incredibly versatile and has multiple applications both inside and outside your home. Propane is commonly used to power appliances like boilers, furnaces, water heaters, cooking stoves, fireplaces, gas grills, space heaters, pool heaters, generators, clothes dryers, and more!

Propane meets all of the clean air energy standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), making it a very safe, and environmentally friendly energy source. Plus, an added advantage of using propane is that most propane is made domestically here in the United States. This means you’re not only helping the US economy by using propane, but because it’s produced domestically, you know that it’s abundant and reliable.
