Propane:

Information:

Derived from natural gas, propane is a source of energy that the combustion is called ‘neat’. Due to a simple chemical compound, the combustion generates practically no carbon monoxide, no nitrogen oxide or hydrocarbon. Propane distinguishes itself from any other fuels because it’s environmentally friendly considering it produces only a small quantities or greenhouse gases.

Because of its versatility, propane can be used in residential, commercial and agricultural sectors. Here are some examples of its usage in each sector:

What you must know:

Even if propane gas brings many advantages it is essential that it is manipulated cautiously. Make sure a specialist completes an inspection report every 10 years to avoid leakage. Because propane gas is naturally odourless, a rotten egg odour is added to the product to detect a leak rapidly. If one or more modifications is made to your system, a new inspection is required. Please contact one of our offices to get a complete list of certified inspectors.

If a leak happens :

• Stop propane feeding by closing the valve on the reservoir
• Do not open lights or use the telephone
• Do not light up matches
• Leave the premises
• Call immediately your propane supplier.
