Get Ready for Winter: Maintain Your Propane Tanks and Avoid Risks

Winter has fully set in, accompanied by freezing temperatures and heavy snowfalls. In this climate, keeping your propane tank in good condition is essential to ensure it’s in good working order and reduce potential risks. Discover the essential precautions to take to ensure safe and efficient use.

Remove Snow from Tanks to Optimize Propane Vaporization

A propane tank buried under snow can lead to vaporization problems. This situation is most common in agricultural and commercial buildings, but all types of tanks are likely to be affected.

To avoid potential pressure drops and ensure optimum system performance, take the time to clear your tanks of snow. Be proactive and anticipate freezing challenges by ensuring adequate clearance around your propane tanks.

Make Sure Your Vents Are Clear 

A blocked vent can cause a build-up of carbon monoxide in your home, even leading to house fires. The safety of your home depends, to a large extent, on the cleanliness of your exterior chimneys and vents.

Take the time to clean them regularly, keeping them clear of snow and debris. This simple measure can prevent serious hazards and ensure a safe, healthy indoor environment for your family.

Also, make sure you create a dedicated path to the tanks. In addition to ensuring driver safety and minimizing the potential risks associated with handling flammable gases, it maximizes operational efficiency.

In this winter season, vigilance is essential. Prepare yourself properly and ensure your propane tanks are ready to face the bitter cold. The safety of your home is our priority.
