What You Can Do

While gas leaks and related incidents are rare, please do the following to ensure your safety.

Have your propane appliances installed and maintained by a preferred FPU Energy Partner or a licensed gas contractor
If you choose to install your gas appliance(s), check the local codes and closely follow the manufacturer’s instructions
Operate appliances according to their instructions and intended purpose (Do not use a range to heat a room, etc.)
Know how to sense possible danger and be able to recognize the ‘rotten egg’ smell that could potentially indicate a gas leak
