Propane Is A Safe Fuel For Your Home & Business.

Propane is a safe and effective fuel to power your home and business. After more than 100 years of use in the United States, propane remains one of the safest and most affordable options on the market. At Anderson Propane, we believe that it is our responsibility to educate our customers on the unique elements of this alternative fuel. Here are some key facts to know:

Propane Is Safe For The Environment
- Propane burns clean, emitting less greenhouse gas than most other fuel sources.
- Propane vaporizes in the air so it cannot contaminate groundwater or soil which reduces its environmental impact.

Propane Is Safe For Your Health
- Propane is insoluble in water which means it cannot contaminate groundwater or wells.
- Propane is environmentally friendly and won’t contribute to the harmful effects of pollution on human health.

Anderson Propane Answers Your Questions:

Propane is incredibly safe when it’s stored and used properly. Check out some of our most commonly asked questions and check out all our FAQs to learn more!

How Can I Tell If Propane Is Leaking?

Propane is naturally odorless so distributors add ethyl mercaptan to create a rotten egg or sulfur smell. If you smell that, you may have a leak. Contact us asap and we’ll send a representative to inspect your set-up.

How Do I Store Propane For My Grill?

If it’s possible, we recommend storing propane away from the house, like in a shed. You can store propane in your garage, as long as it’s well ventilated. Most importantly, do not store propane under your grill and keep it out of direct sunlight.

I’m Digging In My Backyard. What Should I Do About My Propane Tank?

If you’re planning any projects that involve digging near or around your underground propane tank, give us a call. We’ll come out to your home and mark the tank and gas line locations for free so you can avoid them while working on your project.

Do You Own Your Own Tank?

Although most homeowners lease their propane tanks from the company that provides them with fuel, some people may own their own tanks. Here are two useful publications about customer-owned tanks.

What Should I Do If I Smell Propane?

Propane is naturally odorless so distributors add ethyl mercaptan to make it smell like rotten eggs or sulfur. If you smell propane in or around your home or building, follow these procedures and guidelines:

Do not turn on or use anything that initiates a spark, such as: light switches, flashlights, electrical devices or phones.
Evacuate the building and property

If you are comfortable doing so, turn off the supply of propane to the cylinder or tank.

If you or someone in your home has a limited sense of smell, we recommend purchasing a propane gas alarm.
