Safe electrical and heating equipment is a priority for our company, to ensure your peace of mind. At Propane Levac, we emphasize how vital it is to carry out a complete inspection of your propane system every 10 years. This is not just a recommendation; it’s a necessity to ensure safety and compliance with current standards.

Why a 10-year inspection?

The law aims to ensure that all systems comply with Code requirements, and therefore operate in safe conditions.

10-year inspections are mandated by law to ensure that all propane systems meet the strict requirements of the Propane Storage and Handling Code CAN / CSA B142.2, as well as the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CAN / CSA B149.1. These standards are designed to ensure that systems operate under safe conditions.

A complete inspection involves checking your entire system, including all the appliances on your property, the supply lines, the tank and its connections. The technician carries out a series of examinations to confirm, among other things, that there are no escaping gases.

An inspection is also highly recommended when new appliances are connected to your system. This ensures that the integration of these devices is safe and complies with standards.

How do I carry out an inspection? 

As a propane supplier, it’s our duty to advise you to have an inspection performed every 10 years. However, if you have any concerns at any time, don’t hesitate to contact us!

We insist on the importance of validating the professional license of all technicians. You can contact us at 1 800 465-4927 for a referral to a qualified technician in your area.

Notify the technician that you would like a full 10-year inspection of your propane system. This will enable them to prepare accordingly for a comprehensive assessment.

Carrying out a 10-year inspection of your propane tank is a key step in ensuring the safety and efficiency of your energy system. As a homeowner, it’s an important responsibility, but you’re not alone. Propane Levac is here to guide you through this essential process. Together, we can ensure that your propane system is safe, efficient and up to current standards.

Don’t wait: schedule your 10-year inspection today and ensure the safety and efficiency of your propane system for years to come!

Propane is often perceived as a potentially dangerous energy source. However, this perception is far from the truth. Contrary to popular belief, propane is a very safe fuel. When used and handled correctly, it is one of the safest fuels available. In this article, we’ll discuss why propane is a safe option and how you can maximize its safety.

Since propane is odorless, a rotten egg smell has been added to make it easier to detect leaks. It is also non-toxic and will not contaminate the ground in the event of a spill, unlike other fuels such as gasoline, diesel or compressed natural gas (CNG).

Propane has a higher ignition point than many other fuels. This means it needs to be heated to a higher temperature to ignite, which reduces the risk of accidental fires.

Propane regulation

The propane industry is strictly regulated to ensure safety. These regulations cover the manufacture, installation, maintenance and inspection of propane equipment.

Technicians who work with propane are highly trained and certified. This training guarantees in-depth knowledge of best practices for the safe handling and use of propane.

Safe use and handling of propane  

It’s crucial to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the use and maintenance of your propane appliances. This includes following the manufacturer’s guidelines for propane tank storage and proper appliance operation.

If a gas odor is sensed, it’s essential to act quickly and safely by evacuating the area and contacting the emergency services.

Regular inspections  

Having your propane system inspected regularly by a qualified professional is essential to detect any potential problems before they become a safety threat.

In conclusion, propane is an extremely safe fuel when used and handled correctly. Thanks to its inherent properties, strict regulations, and proper handling and use, propane represents a reliable and safe energy source for both indoor and outdoor use.

At Propane Levac, we are committed to providing information and services to ensure that your propane experience is as safe as it is efficient. Contact us for more information on how to maximize the safety of your propane system.

Propane is a popular choice for heating and appliance use, but what really influences your propane consumption?

At Propane Levac, we believe that a thorough understanding of these factors can help you better manage your consumption and reduce your bill.

1. The size and insulation of your property

The main factor is your property: a larger home will require more propane to heat efficiently. But that’s not the only factor to consider. Insulation plays a crucial role. A well-insulated home retains heat more efficiently, reducing the amount of propane needed. Window tightness is also important. Poorly insulated windows can let a significant amount of heat escape, increasing your propane consumption. In the case of an older property, we recommend that you contact a specialist to check the condition of your insulation. Chances are you’re losing heat.

2. The number of occupants and your habits 

The number of people living in your home affects consumption. The more people, the higher the demand for hot water and heating. Your lifestyle habits, such as the temperature at which you set your thermostat and the frequency with which you use propane-powered appliances, also have a significant impact. A higher indoor temperature in winter means more heating and, consequently, higher propane consumption. If you notice high consumption from your hot water tank, consider a tankless water heater. This type of water heater is on-demand only, so you’ll be able to reduce your consumption considerably!

3. The efficiency of your appliances

The performance of your heating equipment, such as a furnace, fireplace, water heater and range, is another important factor. Older or poorly maintained appliances can be less efficient, which means they consume more propane to provide the same amount of heat or energy. So it’s essential to keep your appliances in good working order and to consider replacing them with more efficient models whenever possible.

Every customer is unique. That’s why we offer a complete assessment of your propane needs. One of our qualified representatives can help you understand how your home’s features and habits affect your propane consumption.

Together, we can find solutions to optimize your propane use, improve your home’s energy efficiency and, ultimately, reduce your costs.
