winter groundword propane home

Now that cooler temps are upon us and the for almost the next two weeks we’re expecting temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s – weather.com, it’s time to start thinking about getting your house winter ready. All of us at J&J Gas Service have prepared a few ways to ensure that your propane-powered home will be warm and cozy all winter long.

  • Take a look at your tank and path – trim/clear any brush hindrances so our drivers have a clear path to deliver your propane.

  • Get familiar with your gauge – learn to recognize when propane is low so you can alert us.

  • Preserve water warmth and save energy – wrap your water heater in a thermal wrap if it’s not in an insulated area.

  • Prevent drafts – replace weather stripping around doors and windows as needed.

  • Max efficiency – have your furnace inspected. Change the HVAC filters.

  • Live in a (2) story home with programmable thermostats? – due to rising heat set the upstairs to a lower temp and you won’t have to run the upstairs unit.

  • Use your ceiling fans – ceiling fans help circulate warm air, lower.

  • Make the switch to a propane-powered fireplace – they’re more efficient and distribute heat more evenly than a wood burning fireplace. They don’t emit the smoke or smell of traditional fireplaces.

  • Conserve your LP Gas and energy consumption – limiting the use of high-usage propane appliances like pool and spa heaters.

J&J Gas offers additional measures to make sure your home is prepared for the winter. With our “Automatic Gas Delivery” we’ll monitor your usage and deliver propane when you need it – never worry about running out. Call us today at 386-294-1801 to find out more.
