Very interesting place to visit, they refill propane cylinders on the spot while you wait, staff are very professional and also have a very high safety standard in carrying out their job. It was nice to see how easily the cylinders were refilled and how quickly it was done to.

We are very happy with Paraco, we have had a few uncomfortable situations with one particular driver, pulling in to make a delivery and deciding for one reason or another, not to make the delivery. We use our propane for EVERYTHING in our home. Hot water. Cooking. Heating. So if we don’t get the fuel, it literally shuts our house down. So we thank the office workers who have received our panic stricken phone calls and made sure we got our deliveries the next day. Other than those few unnecessary frustrations, it’s been nice dealing with Paraco. Thank you.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How is propane used in a home?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Propane is a clean and incredibly versatile fuel source most commonly used for heating and powering certain home appliances. Stoves, barbeques, water heaters, clothes dryers, pool heat, spas, lighting and hearths are just some of the many uses for propane. Propane is also a sought-after energy choice to power standby generators.

How can I tell if there’s a propane leak in my home?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Just like with natural gas, a harmless odorant – usually mercaptan - is added by propane companies, giving propane a distinctive “rotten egg” or sulfur-like smell. If you believe there’s a gas leak, immediately evacuate everyone from the house and call your local propane provider or fire department from a neighbor’s phone or from your cell phone OUTSIDE AND CLEAR OF YOUR HOME.

Is propane safe for my family and me?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Yes. Propane is a very safe fuel. If you believe there’s a gas leak, immediately evacuate everyone from the house and call your local propane provider or fire department from a neighbor’s phone or from your cell phone OUTSIDE AND CLEAR OF YOUR HOME. Make sure everyone in your home knows what propane smells like. Your propane provider can help you with this. Get to know it right from the start.

Is propane safe for the environment?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Yes. Propane is nontoxic, doesn’t contaminate aquifers or soil, and is an approved clean alternative fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act.

Can a propane tank be installed somewhere other than my yard?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Yes. Underground storage tanks have specialized features allowing them to be stored beneath the surface somewhere on the consumer’s property. They are a popular option for single-family homes and housing developments and can be buried underground because propane is nontoxic and doesn’t contaminate aquifers or soil.

What size storage tank do I need if propane is my main energy source?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

The best size is determined by usage requirements. Typically, a 500-gallon tank holds enough propane to meet the annual energy needs of an average four-bedroom home. There are 1,000-gallon propane cylinders which may be needed for larger homes with swimming pools, spas and hot tubs.

What is a Safety Survey? Do I need one?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

During a safety survey, your technician will test your propane system for proper operation and safe installation. They will perform a test(s) on your gas line and propane container to ensure they are leak-free. They will also make sure that both the propane container and your appliances meet all National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines.

Why do I need to have a leak check?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Leak checks are required any time there is an interruption of your gas service - meaning any time the flow of gas in your home is stopped for any reason. NFPA 54 (2017) states, “Immediately after the gas is turned on into a new system or into a system that has been initially restored after an interruption of service, the piping system shall be tested for leakage. If leakage is indicated, the gas supply shall be shut off until the necessary repairs have been made.”

Why isn’t my propane container filled to 100% capacity?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

Propane is delivered and stored in liquid form. Propane liquid expands nearly 17 times more quickly than water over the same temperature increase. As a result, propane containers are filled to about 80 to 85% of their capacity. This allows the propane liquid to expand freely with changes in temperature caused by hot days, cool nights, rain, snow and other factors. Because of these temperature changes, you may see fluctuations in your container gauge - this is normal.

What is a tank monitor and how does it work?

Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021
Paraco Gas | Oct 15, 2021

A tank monitor is a cellular receiver that reads the amount of propane in your propane container and sends us a report each day. It is a great solution for customers who aren’t eligible for automatic delivery because they have a “sporadic use” appliance such as a fireplace, pool heater or generator. Contact your local branch for information about an optional monitor service. You do not have to be home for any monitor installation or service.
