Propane Safety Starts at Home: Partnering with the Pros to Keep You Safe

At DiLeo Gas Propane, safety isn’t just a priority — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Whether we’re installing a new underground tank or making a routine delivery, our team is trained to follow the highest safety standards in the industry.

To help reinforce that commitment, we’re proud to partner with the Propane Gas Association of New England (PGANE) — a leading resource for propane safety and training across the region. Together, we’re working to educate homeowners and businesses on how to use propane safely and responsibly.

Everyday Propane Safety Tips

Here are a few important guidelines every propane user should follow:

  • Know the Smell of Propane: Propane has a distinct “rotten egg” odor added to help you detect leaks. If you smell it, leave the area immediately and call 911 or your propane provider.
  • Keep Vents Clear: Make sure snow, leaves, or debris aren’t blocking your gas appliance vents, chimneys, or flue pipes.
  • Install Detectors: Carbon monoxide and propane gas detectors add a critical layer of protection.
  • No Flames Near Leaks: Never operate lights, appliances, or phones if you suspect a leak.
  • Call Before You Dig: Always call 811 before digging in your yard to avoid hitting underground propane lines.

Training You Can Trust

Through our affiliation with PGANE, our team participates in regular safety trainings and keeps up with the latest best practices. PGANE’s Safety & Training portal offers valuable resources for both propane professionals and the public, including:

  • Consumer safety guides
  • Emergency preparedness tips
  • Certified training programs for propane technicians

We encourage our customers to explore these materials and become active participants in propane safety.
