Leaving your home for an extended period requires preparation, especially if your property is powered by a propane system. Here are some essential tips to keep your system safe and running smoothly while you’re away.

It’s crucial to check the amount of propane in your tank. If the level is too low, service could be interrupted. You should also consider purchasing our Otodata system if you plan to be away from home for extended periods of time.

Inform Propane Levac of your departure so that we can adjust our deliveries based on your reduced needs during your absence. Also, make sure you’ve set up a way to receive and pay your bills while you’re away. This can be either through automatic payment or online to avoid any delays that could affect your future deliveries.

If you’re planning to leave during the winter months, you should consider snowfall while you’re away. Arrange for someone to regularly clear the snow from the access to the reservoir. A clear path is crucial to ensure that propane delivery drivers have easy access to your tank and can make any necessary deliveries without hindrance.

General property safety

• Turn down the heat: reduce heating to save propane while avoiding frozen pipes.
• Property surveillance: ask a friend, trusted neighbour or opt for a surveillance service to keep an eye on your property every 24 hours. This includes checking the propane system, as well as monitoring the house in general. Provide clear instructions to the person responsible to watch your property, including how to react to a propane emergency.

By taking these precautions, you can leave for an extended period of time knowing that your propane system is secure and efficiently managed. Peace of mind comes with preparation.

At Propane Levac, we’re here to help you prepare your propane system for your absence, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your home while you’re away.
