Appliance Safety
Safety is our highest priority here at Absolute Propane. All gas appliances need to be serviced by a qualified service technician that has the training to install, inspect, service, repair and maintain the appliances. It’s a good idea to have your propane furnaces and heaters inspected prior to every heating season.
Absolute Propane’s safety policies are intended to meet or exceed all national, state, and local propane safety regulations. We strive to stay on top of the evolving propane guidelines and recommendations. Our ongoing propane safety training programs are designed to ensure that our propane service technicians know how to safely handle potentially hazardous situations that may arise

Use the sample odor to teach everyone in your home or building what propane smells like and the dangers of a propane leak. Always take appropriate action if you or anyone in the building should smell any foul or unusual odor that might be from a propane leak.
PROPANE GAS DETECTORS
Propane gas detectors are designed to sound an alarm if they sense the presence of propane. Their operation does not depend upon the concentration of oderant in the air, just the propane concentration at the detector.
