Propane’s versatility means there are many different ways it can be used in and around your western North Carolina home. Propane can heat your water, your home, your pool, and your deck. Propane can cook your food on the range or in the oven of your kitchen or out in your backyard on a BBQ grill. Propane can also power a whole-house generator that will keep everything in your home operating during a power outage.
When you get a propane delivery from James Oxygen & Supply, do you know how long it will last? Keep reading to find out how to know if you have enough propane and how to calculate how long your propane refill will last.
Given how much you use propane in and around your western North Carolina home, have you ever stopped to wonder how long your latest propane delivery will last? You certainly don’t want to have a run-out.
Why don’t you want to have a run-out? If your propane tank runs empty it’s a headache and can be expensive. Why? Well, you’ll need an emergency delivery or propane, as well as a required pressure test, plus the professional relighting of the pilots on all of your propane appliances. Those are inconveniences and expenses you can easily avoid by avoiding a run-out.
And you don’t need to run out completely for things to go wrong. If your propane level gets too low, air can enter your heating system and cause damage that will be expensive to fix.
How do you know if you have enough propane in your tank? As a general rule, you want to have a propane tank that is at least 20% full.
Propane tanks come in a variety of sizes. If you know your tank’s capacity, then you know how much propane you have after a delivery. If you’re between deliveries and take a reading of your tank’s gauge, you can calculate the number of gallons that percentage represents.
To calculate how long your propane refill will last, you need to know your weekly propane usage. That in addition to knowing how much propane is in your tank will help you estimate how long your delivery will last. It’s simple math.
