Never hesitate to give us a call if you think there may be a problem with your system, but please remember to remove yourself from the area first because telephones and cell phones could cause a spark. Your safety is our top priority. If you are unsure about what propane smells like, stop by our office and find out. Propane is an extremely safe form of energy when used properly. Your knowledge about propane is your first defense against an accident.
Call us if you would like to purchase a Safety Siren Hazardous Gas Detector for your home. It detects both Carbon Monoxide and Methane, which is what makes propane smell. The safety siren easily plugs in to an electric outlet, so you do not have to worry about changing batteries.
