Winter Precautions for Propane Tanks

Stay Warm and Safe with Valley Wide Energy

As the weather gets colder, check up on the propane systems that keep your homes or buildings warm and comfortable. Valley Wide Energy recognizes the significance of maintaining a well-functioning propane system during colder months. That’s why we always have a propane professional ready to ensure your system is operating efficiently and is safe for your home or building.

Navigating winter challenges is crucial as temperatures drop. If propane regulators situated on the sides of houses or buildings become submerged with snow, they could encounter freezing issues, potentially leading to system shutdowns and a loss of heat inside. For those with regulators below the “shed” or slanted side, the added risk of snow sliding off roofs and causing leaks or damages heightens safety concerns.

At Valley Wide Energy, we’re pleased to come out and assess your propane systems, and we offer a solution to this challenge through the use of snow shields. Our team can install these protective shields above your regulators, preventing snow buildup and freezing problems. This proactive measure guarantees the operational efficiency of your propane system, maintaining a warm and secure home throughout the winter.

Don’t leave your comfort to chance this winter. Reach out to Valley Wide Energy for a comprehensive inspection, and let us ensure your propane system is winter-ready. Our main office number is 208-324-8000, or visit our energy page https://www.vwcenergy.com/contact/.
