Summer 2012 Austin TX: Who To Call For Propane System Maintenance

Propane system maintenance is the topic and you may be wondering who to call. You’ve come to the right place.

It’s time to have your propane provider stop by to review, evaluate and service your propane system.

First and foremost, always call a licensed propane professional. Never attempt to repair or modify your propane system.

In Austin and Central Texas as well as the surrounding Hill Country, call Terry Garnett’s Propane at 512-894-4480 for assistance.

Here is a testimonial from a customer:

I want to thank Terry and all the folks at Terry’s Garnett’s Propane 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. You did a nice job with the project and followed up with a complete inspection of each gas appliance. We sincerly thank you!

 

Remember, properly maintained, your propane system will provide you with years of convenient, cost effective, and reliable service.

Homeowners Rule #1: Insist on regularly scheduled propane system maintenance. Your propane provider should be stopping by frequently to ensure that you continue to receive the optimum performance and get the most out of your propane system. All propane experts agree, it’s wise to have a qualified professional review and maintain your system on a periodic basis.

Keep in mind that your propane system consists of everything between your propane tank and your propane appliances. Whether you have an underground tank or an above ground propane tank, you’ll want to make sure everything is checked over pre-season by a licensed and qualified professional.

Experts state that never running out of propane is key. A full tank keeps a regular and even supply of propane (which is actually better for your propane appliances) plus provides the convenience of a consistent and steady energy supply.

You’ll want to have Terry Garnett’s Propane (www.garnettspropane.com) put you on their Keep Check Program. This is the most efficient way to make sure you never run out of propane. They’ll come out and fill your tank on a regular basis, assign a licensed professional to watch over your propane system and even provide a 24×7 phone number for any customer special needs – that’s service!

Michelle Garnett Interview: Getting Ready for the Upcoming Propane Season in Austin, Texas

Austin Propane Delivery.com covers the propane industry in the Austin and Central Texas area.

As a service to their readers, they recently interviewed Michelle Garnett of Terry Garnett’s Propane regarding the upcoming winter season.

Austin Propane Delivery: I’m here with Michelle Garnett of Terry Garnett’s Propane. Michelle, is there any advice you can give homeowners about how to be ready for the upcoming cold season here?

Michelle Garnett: Check your propane system, it’s very easy.  Give us a call and we will teach you how to read your percentage gauge if you want to track your own usage.

Austin Propane Delivery: Your company is well known for being readily available for your customers.

Michelle Garnett: We feel our clients are part of our family. If you have any questions or concerns just give us a call.  You can email any of our staff.  The drivers are also available for you to talk to them when they’re there.

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.

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.

Decorative hedges and fences can also contribute towards an aesthetically pleasing motif for xeriscaping your propane tank into your landscape.

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.

Propane Tips for the First Time Homeowner – PT 10

Preparing to purchase your first home can be one of the most exciting times of your life. Perhaps you’ve considered many options, patiently searched for the right home, and also consulted numerous friends and professionals. After all, smart decisions made at the time of purchasing your first home will pay off dividends for many years.

You owe it to yourself to know the right questions to ask. Here are some items for you to consider and why propane is the best energy source for your new home.

First of all, you’ll be pleased to learn propane powered furnaces last longer with experts estimating a life span of 15 to 20 years. Compared to electric heat pumps, that’s approximately 5 to 10 years longer.

Propane will also save you money every month in the laundry room of your new home. According to the U.S. Dept of Energy, propane dryers are cost effective with an average saving of 50% per month over an electric dryer. Most first time homeowners are surprised to learn that propane’s humid or moist heat is actually better for their clothes over time. Fashion experts cite that electric heat can actually discolor or even burn clothes due to the dry harshness of the heat.

Over time, the saving add up however there are many other excellent reasons for choosing propane.

In planning for the future, should you ever decide to sell your home, the green energy benefits of propane will ensure your home retains its value in the marketplace. Propane is the energy of the future and will retain equity in your home. In addition, there are rebates and tax credits to reward you for making the intelligent decision and selecting propane appliances.

Question: We’re planning to purchase our first home in the Texas Hill Country and I’m setting up an artist studio.  Given the nature that I’m going to have a number of kilns running for pottery, I am going to be using a lot of propane to power these; can I hook up multiple tanks in a series?

Terry Garnett: You can connect multiple tanks in a series, however many times I prefer to calculate the total number of gallons required, and provide one tank that will fit those needs.

Question: We currently have an above ground tank on a property we just purchased from a developer. Although its a brand new home, we would like to have an underground tank as we understand that this will be out of sight.  Can we use the current tank and just put it underground?

Terry Garnett: That’s a great question and we get asked that a lot.  No, you cannot.  We talked about this earlier. Under the lid are many of the service valves utilized for the propane tank, however, one very important valve -the relief valve- is not located under the lid.  It is actually located on the body of the tank on an above ground tank.

So if you bury an above ground tank, you bury the relief valve.

On an underground tank, extensions are put on all valves to bring them above ground level.  So, you cannot use an above ground taken for an underground tank.  They are two different tanks.

Question: My husband and I are building our first home and we are planning to use propane.  We are trying to schedule all the jobs and all the contractors, how much time do we need to schedule to have a propane tank built in underground?

Terry Garnett: When you begin the process of construction, find your propane provider and then start scheduling the project with them. A reputable and experienced firm will walk you through it.

Terry Garnett’s Propane has been serving Central Texas communities for over 30 years. Call Terry Garnett’s Propane at 512-484-4480 (or toll free 1-800-950-8289) for professional installation and expert guidance to help you make the most of your new water heater.
