As the winter season approaches, Great Valley Propane is here to help you stay comfortable. The busy holiday season can pull us in many directions, making it difficult to remember to do things like prep your Maryland or Pennsylvania home for a fuel delivery, so we’ve put together a quick checklist for you. Read this blog from our team to learn how you can ensure your propane deliveries are hassle-free, efficient, and safe.
Prepare Your Home for a Propane Delivery in the Winter
Clear Ice and Snow from Your Driveway
Keeping your driveway free of snow and ice is an important step to ensure a smooth fuel delivery. Remember that our trucks are wider than your car, so they need a bit more room!
Shovel a Path to Your Tank
Please be sure to clear a path to your tank, so our drivers can safely fill it.
Move Any Buried Hazards
If there are lawn décor, garden hoses, or other objects on your property that were not taken inside during winter, please remove anything that could be a potential tripping hazard.
Check Your Tank Gauge Regularly
An empty propane tank can be a safety hazard, will require a leak check, and may incur emergency fueling fees. Regularly checking your tank gauge and ordering when your gauge reads 30% full can save you the stress of a preventable emergency.
Consider Enrolling in Automatic Delivery
If you are looking for the most convenient way to handle your fuel deliveries, consider enrolling in automatic propane delivery. We’ll monitor your tank and make deliveries accordingly, so you can worry less about checking your tank and requesting fuel. We’ll handle it for you.
Order Propane for Your Generator
Ensure you have plenty of fuel for your generator. When winter storms occur, you can rest easy knowing you won’t lose power.
