When most people think of propane use, they think of heating their space with a furnace or boiler. But propane is a year-round fuel: if you are new to using propane as a source of home energy – or plan to convert your home to propane in the coming months – you may be surprised at how much of it you use in the “off” months.
If you get a propane bill that’s higher than you expected this summer, you might even conclude that you have a propane leak somewhere in your system. While that’s certainly possible (and you should err on the side of safety and check), most of the time you will have simply underestimated your propane usage.
As you can see, the gallons can add up quickly: if you’re not careful, you could run out of propane at some point.
Another reason you might be using more propane than you expected to is that your equipment isn’t running at peak efficiency – a great reason to schedule service for your propane equipment sooner rather than later.
Routine maintenance for your propane pool heater and water heater will help you maximize the heating benefit of these appliances while also keeping them running safely and reliably all summer long. Getting routine maintenance out of the way for your furnace or boiler is also a great idea, since it helps you avoid the crowds that tend to schedule that work in the late summer or early fall.
