Propane can smell like rotten eggs, a skunk spray, or a dead animal. Propane can experience odor fade, so even if the smell is faint, you should call emergency services.

In rare cases, the smell of propane can fade, making it harder to detect. We recommend installing propane gas detectors near sleeping areas and your appliances for extra peace of mind.

Check your thermostat, emergency switch, and fuel level. If your system is still not working, call us, and we can help.

Running out of propane can pose a safety risk due to air and moisture entering the system. Empty tanks require a professional leak check by a certified technician before refilling and use.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas produced by improper fuel combustion. Ensure you have carbon monoxide detectors installed on every level of your home and evacuate the area immediately if you detect carbon monoxide.
