Question: Is it all right if it’s a cold weather snap to use my stove as a space heater, in the short term, if I’m out of propane?  Is that safe?

Terry Garnett: Never use any type of an appliance other than for its recommended and intended use.  It is a safety issue. Please always follow manufacturer recommendations on all gas appliances.

Question: How often should I have my propane appliances tested by a qualified technician?

Terry Garnett: There is no magic number. I recommend having your entire system checked at least once a year by a qualified and  licensed technician. An annual pressure test of your propane lines is a sound investment.

Question: One thing that we are interested in at my home is that we want to have a green environment; does propane contaminate soil or water?

Terry Garnett: Propane is one of the cleanest fossil fuels available today. It is non abrasive to soil and water.

Question: Compared with the tanks that are used for ethanol, methanol, and gasoline, are the propane tanks actually more volatile or puncture prone or how does the safety of a propane cylinder stack up with a gas can?

Terry Garnett: Propane tanks are very safe and their construction heavily regulated. They are not puncture prone, and comparing them to a gas can is like comparing a Volvo to a unicycle.

Question: I don’t really plan on doing any of the work myself.  Is it really important to know where my gas service lines are?

Terry Garnett: It’s always good to know where your tank is and where your gas service lines are.  Know where the shut off to your system is and how to shut it off. Remember ALWAYS locate your gas line before you dig.

Decorative hedges and fences can also contribute towards an aesthetically pleasing motif for xeriscaping your propane tank into your landscape. Large yard objects can also be useful for hiding your propane tank. Fountains, bird baths,and garden sculptures can all be placed strategically to help your tank blend in.

Trees that do well in the Texas climate include Oleander bushes, crape mytles, and Texas Sage bushes which also grow with very little water in arid climates.

Here’s what one customer had to say:

We sure appreciate Rick’s conscientious service. Before we called Terry Garnett’s Propane and started Rick coming by we had a problem forgetting to keep our propane tank filled.

I know it sounds silly but we simply would forget. The first time Rick delivered propane he asked us if we would like him to keep tabs on our tank for us and add propane when our levels went low. Boy howdy – that has made the world of difference for us. Cool! Not only is it one less thing we have to think about but we never have to relight pilot lights or inspect our propane system.

Rick has taken care of all of these things and I highly recommend him. He deserves credit for a job well done. I wish all service oriented businesses would take a lesson from the quality of care we get from Rick. He’s a good man and we wanted to let you know we appreciate him.
