Ferrellgas Shares Winter Weather Preparedness Tips
November 01 2017 - 9:00AM
Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:FGP) Fall weather will soon give
way to even cooler temperatures, and in many parts of the country,
snow will soon start to fly. The key to staying comfortable and
safe during the cold winter months is planning ahead. That’s why
Ferrellgas would like to share these reminders from the Propane
Education & Research Council with you. Please familiarize
yourself with this checklist as you and your family prepare for the
winter season.
- Maintain an adequate supply of propane in your
tank. Call your local propane provider when your propane
tank percentage is at 30%. A severe storm can hinder additional
propane deliveries.
- Keep the path to your propane tank clear. A
clear path helps drivers get to your tank easily, fill it quickly,
and move on to our next valued customer.
- Allow your appliances to vent properly. If it
is safe to do so, clear snow and ice away from outdoor vents,
chimneys, and flues to prevent blocking any ventilation.
- Clear snow and ice from around your propane
tank. This includes regulators, regulator vents, piping,
tubing, and valves. Use a broom instead of a shovel to prevent
damage to your propane system components.
- Never use a stove or bring your gas grill indoors for
space heating, even during a power outage. Only use
appliances indoors if they are approved for that purpose. Never
store, place, or use a propane cylinder indoors or in an enclosed
area. Without proper ventilation, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) fumes
produced can build up.
- Operate portable generators with caution.
Never use a portable generator (gasoline, diesel, or propane)
indoors or in enclosed areas. Doing so can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning or death.
