When you depend on propane for your home’s heating, hot water, stove, dryer, gas fireplace and other major appliances, you want to be certain that your home’s propane tank is safe and in good condition.
Callahan’s Gas customers really appreciate the benefits of leasing their propane tanks from us. We take care of everything, from prep work and installation to testing and ongoing upkeep. You don’t have to lift a finger! With a range of tank sizes available, we’ll help you choose the perfect option for your household needs. Plus, we handle all maintenance and repairs, giving you complete peace of mind.
Leasing a tank offers significant financial advantages for homeowners. Purchasing a tank means taking on the costs of buying, installing, inspecting, maintaining and repairing it yourself. Leasing eliminates that burden, saving you time, stress and unexpected expenses.
That said, there are still some simple ways you can ensure your tank is in the best condition throughout the year. Here are a few simple tips:
The area surrounding your propane tank should be free from structures, brush, grass, leaves, tree limbs or any other debris to minimize fire risks. These materials can easily fuel a fire. So, please keep a 10-foot radius around your aboveground tank clear. It’s a simple yet essential step in protecting your property and ensuring safety.
Regularly inspect your propane tank’s regulator vent to ensure it hasn’t become clogged. Additionally, after a winter snowstorm, be sure to check and clear any exhaust vents around your home to maintain proper airflow and safety.
When temperatures are frigid and a lot of snow has fallen on the Eastern Shore, it can be difficult to locate and fill your propane tank — right when having a full tank of heating fuel is so essential.
While the weather is warm, it’s a good idea to mark the location of your tank with a brightly colored stake or flag. This will ensure that, when we have deep snow cover, you can more easily clear a path to the tank, and our driver can more easily access it.
It’s always better to keep your propane tank filled to avoid unexpected run-outs or pressure issues in cold weather. You can ensure a seamless propane supply with our Automatic Delivery option, designed to minimize the risk of running out. This convenient service eliminates the need to monitor your propane tank gauge constantly.
At Callahan’s Gas, we combine advanced technology with traditional methods to predict your propane needs. By analyzing your usage history, weather and temperatures, we accurately determine when you’ll need a refill. Then, we schedule a timely delivery, so you’re never left without propane. Even better, there is no fee for Automatic Delivery.
