Safe Source of Energy

Overview

Propane is a very safe fuel. But as with any energy source, there are steps you should take to further ensure your safety:

• If you detect a gas leak, immediately evacuate everyone from the house and call your local propane provider or the fire department from a neighbor's telephone.
• Learn what propane smells like. Propane retailers have scratch-and-sniff pamphlets to help your family recognize its distinctive odor.
• Know where gas lines are located, so you won't damage them when digging or working in the yard.
• Change or clean furnace filters regularly as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Don't store cleaning fluids, oil-soaked rags, gasoline, or other flammable liquids near a gas-burning appliance where vapors could be ignited by the pilot light. Propane is a very safe fuel. Propane's unique molecular properties make it much safer and cleaner than related petroleum-based energy sources. As with any energy source, there are steps you should take to further ensure your safety.
