Introduction

You may think that you can do a lot of home repairs yourself and save yourself money. For the most part, Bottini Fuel knows that you can. However, when it comes to propane repair, we know that it is not. There are a few basic things that you can do, but you are going to need to do extensive research to do it safely. Then there are the bigger jobs that you should never do unless you know exactly what you are doing. This is where we come in. We have trained and certified service technicians that know how to safely fix all of your propane accessories.

Don’t DIY

When you do any DIY project around the house there is a limited risk to you and your home. However, when it comes to propane, you should not risk it. Just one false move and you can wind up burning down your house or worse, landing yourself in the hospital. Of course, there are steps beyond landing yourself in the hospital, but we don’t even want to think about that. Suffice it to say, propane repair is a very dangerous job and you should leave it to the professionals.

The Professionals

In order to work on propane accessories, our service technicians must go through hours and hours of safety and educational classes. This keeps not only them safe, but you and the rest of your neighborhood safe. While propane is a completely safe gas to use, it always has the potential to turn for the worse. There are also certain State and Local Laws that must be followed. As a reminder, you can turn off your gas if you feel there is a danger, but in order to turn it back on you are required to call a service technician. Should you cause an explosion you will be on the hook for the damage done. Don’t risk it and call us instead.

Serious Business

Working with any gas should be taken very seriously. As with all gasses, propane does have the potential to explode. The major risk comes when turning it on or when stored in tanks. While the tanks are perfectly safe to use, they do wear out. Never try to repair or alter any tank that you have. This could lead to a very disastrous conclusion. When you use propane, make sure that you follow the advice of the experts and do exactly what they say. For example, if you cannot get the fire started in a few seconds, it is best to turn off the gas and try again in around 30 minutes. This is because propane is heavier than air and has the tendency to linger. Waiting 30 minutes will give wind the time to carry the propane away and dilute the propane left behind.
