Residential Propane Leak Checks

Propane is a clean, efficient, and versatile fuel source used in millions of homes across the country. It powers everything from furnaces and water heaters to stoves, fireplaces, and outdoor grills. While propane is generally safe when used correctly, it is still a flammable gas that must be handled with care. One of the most important safety measures homeowners can take is scheduling regular propane leak checks.

What Is a Residential Propane Leak Check?
A residential propane leak check is a test performed on your home’s propane gas system to ensure there are no leaks in the piping, fittings, valves, or appliances. This check is typically carried out by a licensed propane technician using specialized tools and procedures to verify the integrity of the system.

Leak checks are not just routine maintenance, they are often required by law under specific circumstances, including:

• If the tank runs empty 
• Following an interruption in service
• When any part of the gas system has been repaired, modified, or newly installed
• As part of annual safety inspections

By the end of this year, our team is on track to complete approximately 1,400 residential and commercial propane leak checks, which is an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to safety and service. These inspections help ensure systems are operating safely and efficiently, giving our customers peace of mind.
