Get Ahead of Colder Weather
Cooler weather can arrive quickly in West Virginia. Preparing your propane system for fall and winter helps homeowners stay ready for changing temperatures and increased heating demands. At Hagedorn’s LP Gas Service in Morgantown, WV, we encourage customers to plan ahead for dependable fuel throughout the colder months.
Check Your Propane Tank Levels
Start by checking your propane tank gauge regularly. As temperatures drop, furnaces, water heaters, and other appliances may use more fuel. Homeowners in Fairmont, WV and surrounding areas should contact their propane supplier before levels run too low, especially ahead of extended cold spells or winter storms.
Keep Your Propane Tank Accessible
Preparing your propane system for fall and winter also means making sure your tank remains accessible. Trim overgrown vegetation, remove obstacles, and identify a clear route for delivery trucks. Before snowfall, mark the tank location with a visible stake so snow removal crews know where to avoid equipment.
Schedule Equipment Inspections
Schedule a qualified professional to inspect propane-powered heating equipment according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Hagedorn’s LP Gas Service reminds customers in Fairmont, WV and surrounding areas to keep outdoor vents, regulators, and piping clear of leaves, debris, snow, and ice. Never strike frozen equipment or use heat to remove ice.
Plan Ahead for Winter Propane Deliveries
Discuss winter delivery needs with us before severe weather arrives. Check your fuel gauge more frequently during prolonged cold periods. Keep driveways and paths accessible, and use a broom to gently remove snow around equipment. If you suspect damage or a gas leak, leave the area immediately and contact emergency services from a safe location.
