HD5 Propane and Terry Garnett’s Propane – Part 1

In these summer months with family cookouts and trips to the lake on our mind, it’s only natural and oh so easy to forget that coming soon will be the cold season as the winter months arrive.

Let’s fast forward to a common household scenario; the alarm goes off and it’s time to get the kids up for school, get breakfast on the table, and get dressed and out the door for work. On those chilly Central Texas mornings it’s comforting to know that our homes are warm and hot water greets us in the shower to start our day.

Ah, it’s easy to take the good life for granted. So here’s the question… is it really worth a few minutes to learn how to select the best propane provider to enhance our lifestyle?

Yes, say the experts in the Central Texas propane industry. As Dylan wrote “the times they are a changing” and as far as the propane industry in Austin, they certainly are.

As the times have changed, so has the need to be an informed consumer. Energy plays a key part of our life and it’s time to learn about HD5 propane.

HD5 propane. Why is this important for us to understand? How can it help us get the most value in our family budget? How can we benefits by understanding actual propane market conditions in the Austin, Texas communities?

Whew – lot’s of questions. Fortunately, the answers are clear and yes, we certainly will benefit from learning about pure HD5 propane.

Although it may not cross your mind, it is a very intelligent question to consider what has been becoming an increasingly prevalent topic these day; the actual chemical product purity of the propane your propane provider is delivering to you. You’re paying fair market value. What are you really getting for your money?

In our following series of installments we’ll discuss:

1. What is HD5 propane?
2. Why are some customers of propane providers unknowingly receiving contaminated propane and not pure HD5 propane.
3. What can the average homeowner do to ensure they are receiving only pure HD5 propane.

We’ll discuss this important issue from the point of the professional propane provider to the homeowner and how this issue makes a difference in our propane appliances and lifestyles.

Propane continues to be the best choice for efficient and cost effective energy. Each of us benefits when we learn key facts about becoming intelligent consumers of energy.

Customers Rally Behind Terry Garnett’s Propane Safety Checks

If you see those familiar bright red trucks in your neighborhood they just may be doing more than delivering the finest propane in Central Texas!

Austin and Central Texas families have been enthusiastically supporting Terry Garnett’s Propane in their 2011 Safety and Efficiency Initiative. This program has been designed to provide customers with evaluative analysis of their energy systems to ensure each customers is getting the most dollar value from their energy usage patterns as well as spotlighting individual attention on each component in the propane delivery system.

“Having the propane experts from Terry Garnett’s go over each element of our system has been good for our peace of mind” said one homeowner from Wimberley.

“My husband and I have two kids, seven and nine, and believe me, when it’s bath time we want to know our hot water heater is working. Once I found out propane provides hot water instantly on demand I was sold! Plus, money is tight in our budget. I want to know we are getting the best value for the dollar.”

“Our driver helped us track and watch the amount of propane we were using. We found it was time for a new stove and that the money we’d save would actually pay for the new appliance in time.”

“I was also surprised to learn little energy efficiency tips such as putting a dry towel in the clothes dryer with each load of wet clothes. The dry towel adsorbs dampness and reduces drying time. I never would have thought of that until our driver mentioned that during the efficiency analysis.”

Customers are invited to call the offices at Terry Garnett’s Propane @ 512-894-4480 and schedule their Safety and Efficiency Analysis which is offered at no expense to their Keep Check customers.

“We treat our customers as family and now is the time of year when we can send our team out and be of extra service to our friends” said a spokeperson for Terry Garnett’s Propane. “We offer this service in the same spirit as our 24 hour help line. How would we want to be treated… that’s how we treat each customer.”

Every time we receive a phone call or email from our customers at Terry Garnett’s Propane it is highly appreciated. Since our beginnings over 30 years ago it has been (and remains) our mission to serve our friends and customers.

Here are some comments from customers expressing their satisfaction. First of all, here is a card we received praising Augustine for his excellent work:

Hello..I’ve never used you before but have heard wonderful things about your company. Yes I’m in a bind. We moved into this house back in May and continued to use the vendor that was currently being used at this residence. I should have known from the beginning but I just wrote it off as a bad day..The driver overfilled our tank and I guess you know the rest of the story. What a mess throughout the whole house. At the time we were told it was a bad gauge and should be replaced but of course it couldn’t be replaced because the tank was now full. We were told to let the tank run completely out so that the gauge could be replaced before being filled. Well that is what we did. Giving them notice all week that we were very low and would be out within a day or so. So now we are out and you guessed it, they have all kinds of problems and are not sure when they will get here. At this point all I need is some propane to run my household on. We can wait till spring to change the gauge. It didn’t make any difference they still have not made it out and we are now talking about day 2. Would you please give me a call as soon as you possibly can so that I could make arrangements for you to look at this tank. Again, I know it is a busy time of year and we can wait till another time to change out the gauge if needed. I just really need some propane. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Dori N.

Here’s a nice note from Justina C.

One of our drivers, Bob, went way beyond the call of duty to help a customer – read the story below:

I would like to thank Bob for being the fabulous snake slayer for me on Friday the10th of September 2010.
We are a new customer to Garnetts Propane, while I was waiting for Bob to arrive to our weekend home to service the propane tank and give the house a propane blessing. I came across a snake in one of the closets. I thought it was a rattle snake, and try as I may I was unsuccessful in removing the beast. SO I called your office and spoke to Sarah. (In hind sight this is pretty funny) , I asked her if the driver had a gun? After a brief hesitation she responded with a very calm “a what?? , a gun, on a propane truck ,,,, no.” So I asked if he was any good with snakes because I had one in the closet and I think it is a Rattler!!!. Well to make this shorter. Sarah stated that he may be able to help and wished me good luck. SOOO Bob got There, I did the girl thing and said ” Do you know how to kill a snake cuz I got one?” And try as he may he did everything he could to keep it alive, but I was busy trying to smash it’s tail, and I am sure Bob can fill you in on the event.

Bottom line, I have nothing but good things to say about your company and service.
Your prices are higher but well worth it when it comes to the customer service.I had made a phone call to [n ame withheld] when I was looking for a vendor. That woman was a first class B$@#h but she was cheaper. However the way I see it you get what you pay for. Thank you for being a great company with values and customers in mind. You guys ROCK!!
Bonnie P.

Jayne Schultz provided these kind words regarding her service:

I want to thank Terry and all the folks at Terry’s Garnett’s Propane Company for being considerate of my safety concerns with the installation of the propane connections to our house. I realize that you have gone out of your way to address the needs of a single customer. Jesse did a nice job with the project and followed up with a complete inspection of each gas appliance. We sincerly thank you!
Brian Bahr

Terry,
Rex & I want to thank you for everything you did to get our pavilion fireplace up and running. Over the last few years, when Rex would bring up the subject of a propane tank, I would keep putting it off because I thought it would be such a headache and it would have been, had you and your shop not been the ones to do it. Everyone involved went the extra mile and made it quick and easy for us.
Again, sincere thanks to all of you.
Cindi

Garnett’s Propane,
I wanted to thank your company’s employees for being so helpful and professional. I purchased propane last week from you and was so impressed by good service!

You’ll have all of my business and I will recommend you to everyone!
Thanks,
Jazen

Thanks to all for their feedback and once again, thanks to everyone at Terry Garnett’s Propane for caring about each customer!

Austin Tx Propane Tips: Getting Ready for 2010-2011

It’s nearly October of 2010 and soon we will be in the cold season of 2010-2011 for Central Texas and the Texas Hill Country. As we all know, the cold weather often rolls in quite unexpected and many of us are caught unprepared.

Here are a few excellent propane tips from the leading expert of propane in Central Texas, Terry Garnett. With over thirty years experience serving friends and neighbors, Terry Garnett’s Propane remains the innovative pioneer of Same Day Delivery for the Austin, Texas community.

Call Terry Garnett’s Propane today at 512-894-4480 for Same Day Delivery and visit the website at www.garnettspropane.com for more information on our comprehensive propane services for your home and family.

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.

The Propane Tank Installation Team can offer many suggestions providing aesthetic benefits that keep your home looking great.

Ideas that have proven useful include artfully placing plants and decorative pottery. Making your yard look great can be accomplished while still ensuring your propane tank installation meets technical considerations.

One consideration to keep in mind; insist your propane tank is installed by qualified professionals.

The accredited and licensed professionals at Terry Garnett’s Propane will integrate important technical considerations into the overall installation plan. Important factors such as strategically placing the propane tank the proper distance from the house for maximum effectiveness.

The propane tank installation team will also make sure that your propane driver will have the appropriate access to fill and service your propane tank.

With the proper technical considerations established as the basis for your overall installation plan, you can then move on to focusing on aesthetic ideas to beautify your home.

Xeriscaping can not only make your home beautiful, it can be very practical for establishing a look that is easy to maintain year round. Here are some of the plants that are recommended that tend to do well in the Texas climate:

• Marigolds
• African daisies
• Indian Blanket
• Cornflowers
• Evening primrose
• Roses
• Pansies
• Hollyhocks
• Petunias
• English Lavender
• Lily-of-the-Valley
• Delphinium

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.

Temperature, water, and the rocky terrain of Central Texas also determine options for xeriscaping your propane tank. One homeowner positioned large rocks indigenous to the Austin area. This not only created a pleasing natural look to their yard, it also strategically provided access for propane deliveries while hiding the tank itself.

You Call… We’re There.

There’s a reason that this motto has become a trusted trademark of Terry Garnett’s Propane. It’s because customers know they can count on the time-tested dependability of  Terry Garnett’s Propane. For over 30 years they’ve been number one.

The story of how this motto became a company way of life is rooted in the 1980′s in the Texas Hill Country community, Dripping Springs.

As Dripping Springs existed 30 years ago, it was a small community known for a spirit of neighborly cooperation. People enjoyed a slower pace of life and relied on their friends and neighbors for specialized assistance. As the leading experts on propane, the Garnett Family started helping neighbors by delivering propane for their homes and ranches and pretty soon found they were called upon day and night to help people out.

The original requests for same day delivery were based on a customer’s needs. People were out of propane and needed help. Now. The Garnett Family kindly responded and their neighbors sure appreciated the kindness.

The Garnett Family continued to serve their neighbors with Same Day Delivery and began offering the same convenience to all who called upon them for propane deliveries. Everybody was treated as a friend and every delivery was a priority. Same Day Delivery was not the exception to the rule, it became a way of life.

They say a good idea sticks and Same Day Delivery has set the bar for excellence in the Central Texas propane industry. Pioneered by Terry Garnett’s Propane, Same Day Delivery is based on a solid principle. The convenience of the customer must come first.

It’s true, thirty years ago Terry Garnett’s Propane began as just a small company serving friends and neighbors in the Dripping Springs area. This family owned business has greatly expanded but only to the degree that it may serve others. That’s what makes the difference.

A Business Model That Works For You

Each day, make sure every delivery was perfect and on time and keep learning how to be of better service as customer needs continue to develop.

As the customer base grew, new trucks and professional drivers were added to the team. It’s important to have enough logistical resources available to respond to market needs.

Terry Garnett’s Propane: Starting the New Year with Energy Efficient Propane

Terry Garnett’s Propane’s beautiful bright RED trucks are ready and available to deliver eco friendly GREEN propane to provide you and your family with the cost efficient, intelligent energy solution – just call 512-894-4480 or visit their website at www.garnettspropane.com.

This is the Year to Go Green With Propane

Propane is the green energy solution, delivers the best value for your dollar, and is the choice of discriminating homeowners in the Texas Hill Country.

Especially when it just takes one easy phone call to the courteous folks at Terry Garnett’s Propane at 512-894-4480.

Did you know that according to a World LP Gas Association study that propane cuts emissions of toxins and carcinogens like benzene and toluene? Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. In addition, propane is nontoxic and insoluble in water and because it is released as a gas, it doesn’t spill, pool, or leave a residue.

In addition, almost 90 percent of propane is produced right here in the United States. That’s energy that you can count on.

New Year’s Resolution: Save Money Each Month With Propane

Have you made a resolution to join the 50 million Americans who use propane for heating and cooling their homes, heating water, cooking, refrigeration, drying clothes, barbecuing, lighting, and fueling their gas fireplaces? According to the National Propane Gas Association, 11 billion (yes, billions!) gallons  of propane are consumed annually in the U.S. Studies have shown that if you have resolved to save money this year, propane is your best solution for your family’s lifestyle because of the savings you’ll realize each month.

Perhaps you’ve made a resolution to maximize the family budget this year. If so, propane makes even more sense. Millions of households save money each month because propane delivers instant on energy for cooking and hot water for baths. You get immediate energy when you need it and pay only for what is used.

Propane is your choice because it burns hotter and more evenly than other fuels. More value and more efficient; that’s propane!
