Propane safety in your home

Propane gas is a safe and versatile fuel for your home—but, as with any energy source, you need to take proper care to operate propane equipment safely.

General propane safety for your home:

  • As a protective measure for your safety, manufacturers add a strong odourant to propane – it smells like rotten eggs – which makes a leak easier to detect (propane itself is odourless).If you smell gas in your house, motor home, workplace or around any gas equipment:
  • Extinguish smoking materials and other open flames.
  • DO NOT turn light switches, appliances or thermostats on or off, and DO NOT use the telephone.
  • Immediately get everyone out of the building, vehicle, RV, trailer or area.
  • Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
  • Contact Red Cap Propane Ltd from a neighbour’s phone a safe distance from your house.
  • Stay outside until the problem has been corrected.
  • Know the signs of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, and what to do if you think someone has been affected by CO. Carbon monoxide is a potentially deadly by-product of burning propane (or any other fuel). Install CO detectors on every level of your home, testing them periodically and replacing them every five years.
  • If you have a propane cooking range and the flames are yellow rather than blue, have it serviced; yellow flames indicate an air inlet blockage, which can be dangerous if left untreated.
  • Install propane leak detectors in every level of your home; like CO detectors, they are inexpensive and available at your local hardware store.
  • Know where your underground gas services line is located—especially if you plan to landscape or renovate to your house.
  • If you think your propane equipment may be damaged, contact us immediately for an inspection.
  • Service propane appliances—especially larger items like furnaces, boilers and water heaters—every year.
  • Never use a propane gas range or grill to heat your home.
