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.
