For so many households in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Upper Cape, propane is a year-round energy source. But that doesn’t mean their home propane usage is uniform every month and every season.
After all, if you have a propane furnace or boiler, your fuel consumption will be especially high in the winter. But if you need propane for a pool heater, you might need extra fuel in the warmer months. A propane water heater’s consumption will be pretty constant across the calendar.
How can you keep track of your propane levels? At Tasha Fuels & Propane, we fill up home propane tanks and portable propane cylinders. Here are some tips for checking your propane levels — and making sure you never run out!
You can find your gauge on top of your stationary propane tank. There’s a small dome lid covering it. Lift this dome, and you’ll find a gauge that looks like a car’s speedometer with numbers from 5 to 95. The needle points to a number indicating the current percentage fill of the tank, not the number of gallons inside.
At Tasha, we advise our “Will-Call” customers to reach out to us when their tank gauge is around 30%. Even better, you can try our FREE automatic propane delivery service. Our state-of-the-art computerized system will keep track of your fuel levels using your customer history and current weather conditions. Then, our diligent, locally-based team will deliver propane right when you need it. It’s stress-free and fee-free, and it frees you from propane run-outs!
Unlike stationary propane tanks, portable propane cylinders like your grill’s 20-pound tank typically don’t have gauges. However, there are several simple ways you can check your cylinder’s propane levels.
When it’s time to get more propane for your grill tank, you can always turn to the team at Tasha Fuels & Propane. You can come to our service station (1412 Route 28A, Cataumet, MA 02534) to re-fill your propane cylinder. It’s much more affordable than a grill tank exchange!
