Open Enrollment for Pure HD5 Propane at Terry Garnett’s Propane

2012 is off to a great start with Terry Garnett’s Propane enrolling many new customers into their Keep Check™ program.

First off, as the #1 propane provider in Central Texas, Terry Garnett’s Propane has addressed one of the top concerns of homeowners in the Austin and Texas Hill Country; how can we keep from running out of propane?

It’s a fact that we’re all busy.

Job, family, and what have you. Sometimes we just plain forget to keep tabs on how much propane is in our tank. Wouldn’t it be nice to relax knowing you’ll never run out of propane? Well that’s a key benefit of the Keep Check™ program.

Never Run Out

When you sign up for the Keep Check program you can be assured your tank will never be out of propane. Your driver will systematically monitor the levels and top off your tank so there is hot water when you need it and clean and efficient propane for cooking your favorite foods. Don’t forget, to keep your household running smoothly you need a steady supply of propane.

Your Propane Appliances Benefit from the Keep Check Program

It’s been proven that it’s very important to keep a steady, even supply of propane to ensure the best working and operating conditions for your propane appliances. Propane appliances are designed to not run out of propane. An even and reliable flow allows them to operate at efficient benchmarks.

Plus, with the Keep Check program you can be assured that your system will remain running cleanly on pure HD5 propane.

Pure HD5 Propane Makes All The Difference

Pure HD5 propane is clean, green, and the ultimate in energy efficiency.

Take the HD5 Propane Challenge: Try 4 for More

Try 4 for More! That’s the HD5 Propane Challenge! Try four complete tank fills of our pure HD5 propane. It could make a huge difference in your energy efficiency and also protect your investment in your home propane appliances.

Here’s what you need to know that makes all the difference in value for you and your family;  we transport our propane directly from the distributor to our facilities in trucks that only carry pure HD5 propane.

Why is that important? Read on…

There has been alot of recent coverage to a problem many homeowners never knew existed in the Texas propane industry. We’re referring to the problem of contaminated propane which occurs when a trucking company hauls propane from the distributor to the local propane company in a truck that previously carried another substance. The result? Some of the previous carried substance remains in the truck resulting in contaminated propane. Not good for homeowners and your investment in propane appliances as well as getting the most value for your propane.

We’ve had many questions to us about this and we always tell folks that most likely propane company owners don’t know when they receive a contaminated load.  (There could be exceptions but let’s give everyone the benefit of the doubt.)

Sure, we’ve heard the trucking companies state they clean their trucks, etc. What would you expect them to say? The food industry is under scrutiny for similar practices.Bottom line is why take a chance on contaminated propane when you can get propane from a source that ONLY carries pure HD5 propane.

People thought we were crazy. We bought our own trucking company. It was the only way to honestly know what we were getting.  It’s what makes our propane different and we believe our friends and neighbors deserve this. Propane is the best cost efficient, green energy solution but ONLY if it is pure HD5 propane.

So… how do you know if you’ve been getting contaminated propane?  The problem is, you don’t. That is unless you have your propane delivered by Terry Garnett’s Propane. We know our propane is pure HD5 propane because we use HD5 Transport – the company that only carries pure HD5 propane.

The only way to truly know you’re getting pure HD5 product out of a truck is to never put anything else in. That’s the simple fact. And that’s what we do.

Once again, here’s the propane challenge. Try this simple test and let the results speak for themselves!

Try four tanks of our pure HD5 propane – that’s right, see for yourself the difference! And see a difference you may, indeed! Try 4 for more! More energy from pure HD5 propane. More life to your investment in your home’s propane appliances! More hot water faster when you need it for showers! The list goes on – you do get more with pure HD5 propane.

That’s why we cared enough to buy a trucking company. You deserve the best.  We’ve been your trusted propane provider for over 30 years and we feel it is important to  use what we know about the industry to look out for you. If someone is selling contaminated food, sure it may be cheaper but what does it do for your health and quality of life.

So friends, try 4 for more. Four full tanks of genuine pure HD5 propane and you’ll see the difference!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Propane Tips: Energy Efficient Home Credits for Builders and Contractors – PT 8

If you’re a builder or contractor installing propane powered heating and cooling systems in your residential projects, IRS Form 8908 just may be a welcome piece of news for your business at tax time.

The Energy Efficient Home Credit allows builders and contractors to claim a credit for each qualifying energy efficient residential home sold or leased to another person during the current tax year.

If you haven’t heard about the program, now is the time to take note and consult your tax professional and download Form 8908 from the IRS web site.

According to IRS Form 8908, an eligible contractor is the person that constructed a qualified energy efficient home (or produced a qualified energy efficient home that is a manufactured home). A person must own and have a basis in the qualified energy efficient home during its construction to qualify as an eligible contractor with respect to the home.

Fifty percent energy efficient standard.

The tax credits provide examples such as a credit of $2,000 for a dwelling unit that is certified to have an annual level of heating and cooling energy consumption of a comparable dwelling unit and has building envelope improvements that account for at least 1/5 of the 50% reduction in energy consumption.

In addition, the form also states an eligible contractor must obtain a certification that the dwelling unit meets the requirements of section 45L(c)(1) from an eligible certifier before claiming the section 45L credit.

Propane Tips for Your Home and Business – PT 1

Learning how to maximize the efficiency of propane for your home or business is key for optimizing your energy requirements. As the #1 propane provider for Central Texas for over 30 years, Terry Garnett’s Propane receives numerous email and telephone requests for information and propane tips.

This is the first installment of a series of propane tips that will be posted to assist our friends and neighbors in getting the most from their propane energy systems.

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: 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.

Question: We read on the Internet we could buy an electronic leak detector.  Is that a scam or is that really such a thing?

Terry Garnett: There are propane gas detectors, and they are great if you or others in your home have difficulty smelling propane, or if appliances are in little-used areas in your home where the smell of propane might not be detected. Detectors can provide an additional measure of security.

Propane gas detectors are designed to sound an alarm if they sense the presence of propane. Their operation does not depend on the concentration of odorant in the air, just the propane concentration at the detector.

Be sure the units you buy are listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). To be sure propane gas detectors operate properly, install and maintain them as the manufacturer recommends.

But more importantly trust your nose. Never ignore the smell of propane, even if no detector is sounding an alarm to signal the presence of propane. However, if a detector is sounding an alarm, treat it as an emergency and act immediately, even if you do not smell the propane.

Even if you install gas detectors, have a qualified service technician inspect your propane system and propane appliances periodically.
