Propane Delivery Tips for Homeowners to Maximize Efficiency

With our help, your propane tank will never run out.

Propane plays an indispensable role for countless households in Kingman and other communities in northern Arizona, offering year-round convenience and comfort. When temperatures drop, propane heats your home to keep you cozy. During warmer months, it powers pool heaters, outdoor grills and other equipment that transform your backyard into the perfect entertainment space. No matter the season, propane fuels essential appliances like stoves, dryers, water heaters and generators.
To ensure you always have ample fuel and your deliveries go off without a hitch, here are some expert tips for keeping your propane system running smoothly.

Simple Steps for Smooth Summer Deliveries

Summer propane deliveries are typically easier than winter ones, but they still require a bit of prep to maximize efficiency and safety.

• Clear the Path to Your Tank — Overgrown shrubs or stray items like garden tools can obstruct access to your propane tank. Make sure the area is free of debris, furniture and toys to help your delivery driver complete the process quickly and safely. Also, open your gate so we can access your property.
• Keep Pets Indoors — Even the friendliest pets pose safety risks during deliveries. Keep dogs and other animals secure inside or in a separate area when your propane delivery is scheduled.
• Guard Against Pests — Summer pests like bees and rodents can cause problems by setting up camp near your propane tank. Check regularly for nests, webs or other signs of infestation. Clear them quickly to prevent potential disruptions or damage to your equipment.

Early Steps for Easy Winter Deliveries

Winter presents unique challenges for homeowners and propane delivery drivers alike. Prepping ahead of time ensures seamless deliveries and prevents you from running out of fuel when you need it most.

1. Mark Underground Tanks — If your propane tank is buried below ground, place a colorful flag or marker by the fill pipe before the snowfall begins. A well-marked tank helps drivers locate it easily, even in heavy snow or ice conditions.
2. Snow Removal Tools Are a Must — Snow, ice and slush can make driveways and walkways dangerous for both your family and propane delivery drivers. Stock up on shovels and sand or salt and commit to keeping a clear path that’s at least 9 to 10 feet wide when snow is in the forecast.
3. Avoid Last-Minute Scheduling — Winter typically increases propane usage across the region. Don’t wait until your tank is almost empty before refilling. Monitor your levels regularly and schedule deliveries early to avoid costly emergency deliveries. Better yet, consider signing up for Superior Propane’s “Keep Full” automatic propane delivery service and wireless tank monitoring options to make winter refills worry-free.
