Fall is finally upon us, and the cooler weather will be arriving in North Central Florida. As our days begin to cool down and we start to rely on our home heating systems to keep our families warm, its time to think about what you can do to get your propane-powered home and appliances ready for the colder weather ahead.
Just like your car, there’s more to propane than simply filling the gas tank, and J&J Gas Service is here to give you some great tips on how to prepare your propane-powered home for the Fall and Winter.
Refill Your Propane Tank Early
Don’t wait until winter is in full force to order your propane gas – get it now, beat the rush. If your tank is at 20% or below, it’s definitely time for a refill, don’t wait and call us now for a refill. Waiting for late October to fill your tank can leave you unprepared in the event of an early cold spell.
Never assume your furnace is in good working order. Give your heating system a thorough look over to make sure everything is running properly when you need it to the most. You can call upon our technicians to perform a furnace inspection to ensure it’s running at peak performance.
Take Care of Any Propane Repairs
Service your home’s propane systems early in the season to detect any leaks or other problems in need of repair. Regular service keeps your appliances and system running as efficiently as possible, saving you money, and helping avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Gas Range Assessment
The color of your propane-powered range’s flame can indicate whether it needs to be serviced. The color it should be is blue, and if the flame is yellow or any other color it’s a sign that the burners may need to be adjusted or the air inlets are clogged.
Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
Sediments can easily build up in your water heater and cause all sorts of problems. Tankless water heaters should be maintained at least once a year to remove any sediments around the heating elements as well as be descaled. This is also a great opportunity to adjust the temperature if it’s set to high or low.
It’s interesting that you should refill your tank when it’s 20 percent or lower. I want to get more propane gas delivered for my cabin since I will be up there a lot this month. I’ll be sure to find a delivery service that can deliver it up there this week.
