Congratulations on your journey as a new home buyer and a first-time propane energy user! This is an exciting time in your life, and it's crucial to start off on the right foot.

Understand Propane Basics

Before you dive into the world of propane, it's crucial to understand the basics. Propane is a versatile and efficient source of energy for heating, cooking, and more, but it's essential to understand how to make the most of it in your new home. Propane is a clean-burning, versatile fuel that can be used for various purposes in your home, such as heating, cooking, and powering appliances. Learning about the benefits of propane, such as its efficiency and low environmental impact, is a great place to start.

Choose a Reputable Propane Supplier

One of the first steps is selecting a reputable propane supplier. Do some research and ask for recommendations to find a company that offers competitive pricing, reliable service, and convenient delivery options. Establishing a good relationship with your propane provider will ensure a steady supply and peace of mind. Tankfarm makes that process easy by matching the customer with the best propane supplier in our certified network.

Perform Safety Checks

Safety is paramount when using propane in your home. Make sure that your home has functioning carbon monoxide detectors and propane leak detectors. Also, have a professional inspect and maintain your propane appliances regularly to prevent any potential safety hazards. All new Tankfarm customers will receive a free safety inspection before their first propane delivery.

Understand Your Propane Appliances

Take the time to get acquainted with your propane appliances, such as your furnace, water heater, stove, and grill. Understanding how to operate and maintain these appliances will help you maximize their efficiency and longevity.

Practice Energy-Efficient Habits

Propane is known for its energy efficiency, but you can make it even more cost-effective by adopting energy-saving habits. Seal any drafts in your home, maintain proper insulation, and set your thermostat to an optimal temperature. These actions will help you reduce your energy consumption and lower your propane bills.

Budget Wisely

Propane expenses can vary throughout the year, so it's essential to budget wisely. To prevent surprises, consider signing up for a budget payment plan with your propane provider. This way, you can evenly spread out your payments and avoid high bills during the colder months. Tankfarm makes budgeting easy with our commitment to providing every customer with fair and transparent pricing.

Explore Rebates and Incentives

Many regions offer rebates and incentives for using propane as an energy source. Research whether there are any programs or grants available in your area to help offset the costs of upgrading to more energy-efficient propane appliances.

Plan for Refills

Propane tanks need periodic refills, so it's important to plan ahead. Keep an eye on your tank's gauge, and schedule a refill when it's about 20-30% full. This will help ensure you never run out of propane, especially during winter months. Tankfarm provides free tank monitors for all qualifying customers with free automatic refill service to ensure that you never run out of propane.
