Severe weather is impacting much of the US, and we're certainly feeling its presence in the Northeast.
With significant snow in the forecast for the upcoming week, our Propane Pros are working overtime to deliver to as many customers as we possibly can. We are also bringing in additional drivers from other areas to support the region in its time of need. However, despite all of these extra efforts, delays should still be expected. Thank you for your patience.
To prepare, please review the tips below for conserving propane, along with information on how to ensure your home is ready for a safe delivery.
You can view your estimated tank level, estimated days remaining and delivery status in your online MyAmeriGas account. AmeriGas customers can click here to login or register.
In Case of Emergency
If you smell gas or are experiencing signs of a gas leak, immediately exit the premises, and then call our 24/7 emergency line at 1(800) 805-0659 or call 9-1-1 for immediate assistance.
Propane Conservation Tips
- Keep warm air in and cold air out. Close the fireplace damper and the chimney flue and check the seals when not in use. Add weather stripping around windows, seldom-used doors, AC units, and electrical outlets for extra insulation.
- Let the sun help with heating by keeping south-facing window treatments open during the day.
- Adjust ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise, pushing warm air down.
- Clean your furnace and air ducts and replace air filters as needed. Keep furniture and other objects away from vents so that warm air can circulate freely.
- Turn down the temperature on your water heater.
- Turn down the thermostat. Set it to 68℉ when you’re active at home – or lower if you can tolerate it. At night and when you’re away, set it even lower. A programmable or smart thermostat can figure out the settings that will conserve the most energy in your home.
Safety Tips
- To prevent a gas leak, please keep your propane tank, equipment, and piping clear of snow and ice accumulation. Additional weight can be a threat to gas connections.
- Check that your chimney, rooftop, and any gas appliances vented through the roof or walls remain clear of snow and ice to avoid gas fumes from becoming trapped in your home.
- Keep your driveway clear to a width of at least 8 feet.
- Apply salt or ice melt on any sloped areas of your driveway and place sand or salt on icy patches where our drivers would normally park.
- Clear a walking path to your tank so that the driver can access it.
- Mark the location of underground tanks and provide a clear pathway.
