Propane is one of the most carefully regulated fuels in the country, and the industry maintains rigorous safety standards. Because of this oversight, and because propane is nontoxic and won’t contaminate soil or groundwater, it has an excellent safety record.
At Valiant Home & Energy, safety is always our priority. Our team receives comprehensive training to ensure that every installation, service call and fuel delivery is handled with care and professionalism.
Even so, understanding how to respond in an emergency adds another important layer of protection for your home. Below are key propane safety guidelines that every household should know.
For added protection, we recommend that you install UL-listed gas detectors near all propane appliances. These devices provide early warning of a gas leak. They are not the same as carbon monoxide detectors, which serve a different purpose but are equally important.
The most important safety step is recognizing a potential leak. Propane is naturally odorless, but a strong scent — often compared to rotten eggs — is added so that leaks are easy to detect. Make sure everyone in your home knows what that smell means and how to react.
It can take many different professionals to ensure your year-round comfort. With Valiant Home & Energy, you can find Central and Western Connecticut’s most trusted local pros, all under one roof. We’re here for virtually every aspect of your home comfort, including:
