Estimating Summertime Propane Usage Isn’t Always Easy
Trying to budget your propane usage for the summer can be a bit tricky. You can let your propane boiler or furnace rest if the sun provides sufficient heat throughout the summer. However, you may still need propane to fuel other household appliances like water heaters, gas ranges, clothes dryers, built-in grills, and pool heaters. Therefore, you must ensure you have enough supply to power your family’s needs. You may need more than the usual amount if you will be hosting summer parties or having long-term guests. It is crucial that you have enough fuel supply. Running out of propane can disrupt your daily activities and cause significant discomfort in your household.
You may be surprised by how much propane you use in the summer, and that could lead you to suspect that you may even have a propane gas leak. If you do suspect a leak, contact us and leave your home immediately. Most likely, you don’t have a propane leak at all – you simply underestimated your propane usage!
Your potential propane usage can vary a great deal, between 1.2 and 7.2 gallons per day. Just a few extra loads of laundry and some hot showers can increase your propane usage a lot more than you think it would! Throw in a propane pool heater which can add approximately 3.5 gallons to your daily usage. Even a propane generator can affect your propane usage estimations since you don’t know when or if you’ll be using it, as you can’t predict power outages the season may bring.
The bottom line is that you can keep your home comfortable and enjoyable this summer by estimating your summertime propane usage and having plenty of propane on hand. Count on Total Fuel Service for dependable propane delivery to homes and businesses throughout Connecticut.
