Safety Tips

Before winter arrives:

• Mark the location of your tank(s), fill pipe, chimney and exhaust vents so they can be easily located.
• Make sure you know how to shut off the main supply valve of your propane tank or oil tank, as well as appliances such as furnace, boiler, fireplace or water heater.
• Install a UL-approved carbon monoxide detector.
• If you are expecting a delivery, please ensure adequate snow removal from your driveway.

After winter arrives:

• Maintain a clear path to your propane or heating oil tank – this will help our Drivers make a safe delivery to your home.
• If safe to do so, clear snow and ice from appliance vents, chimneys and flues so they can vent properly. A lack of ventilation can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Clear snow and ice off the top of tanks, gauges, fittings and lines. By doing so, you’ll help prevent snow or ice buildup that can cause leaks. We recommend using a broom to avoid damaging the tank or system components.
