Winter is just around the corner, and a little preparation now can make all the difference when the colder weather arrives.<\/p>

Whether it’s keeping your propane tank accessible or staying on top of your propane usage, we’re sharing a few helpful reminders to make the heating season a little easier.<\/p>

1. Keep Your Propane Tank Accessible<\/h2>

When the snow starts falling, keeping driveways and pathways clear helps our delivery team safely reach your propane tank.<\/p>

Snow can also accumulate on and around propane tanks, regulators and other equipment. Use a soft broom to gently remove buildup, avoiding sharp tools that could damage your propane system.<\/p>

After a heavy snowfall, taking a moment to check the area around your tank can help keep deliveries running smoothly.<\/p>

2. Understand Your Propane Usage and Available Tools<\/h2>

As temperatures drop, your propane consumption may increase as heating systems work harder to keep your home comfortable. Usage can also vary depending on your household, appliances and daily routines.<\/p>

If you’ve installed a generator or added another propane-powered appliance since last winter, please let us know. New equipment can change your propane needs.<\/p>

Planning to be away this winter?<\/strong> Before heading out, arrange for someone to check your home and heating system while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on your propane supply and ensure your driveway remains accessible if a delivery is needed.<\/p>

Having access to your propane information can also be helpful during the colder months.<\/p>

Through the Propane Levac Customer Portal<\/a>, you can view account information, invoices, make payments and place propane orders when needed. If you have a wireless tank monitor<\/a>, you can also check your propane level through the Portal without having to go outside to read the gauge.<\/p>

3. A Few Winter Safety Reminders<\/h2>

Winter weather can bring its share of challenges, but a few simple precautions can help keep your home safe and your propane equipment working properly.<\/p>

Keep exterior vents and chimneys clear.<\/strong> After heavy snowfall, check that vents, chimneys and flues are free of snow and ice so heating equipment can ventilate properly.<\/p>

Check your carbon monoxide detectors.<\/strong> Make sure they’re working properly and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for testing and maintenance.<\/p>

Maintain your heating equipment.<\/strong> Regular servicing by a qualified technician helps keep propane appliances operating safely and efficiently.<\/p>

We’re Here for You This Winter<\/h2>

Winter weather can be unpredictable, but a little preparation and the right information can make a difference.<\/p>

At Propane Levac, we’re here to help you stay comfortable and prepared throughout the heating season.<\/p>

Whatever winter brings, We’ve Got Your Back.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
