How to hook up propane

[fixbear]

Call your propane supply company, They will be happy to hook up your equipment as it generats more usage.  They have to inspect it even if you hook if  up for it to be legal.  It will also change your volume and may lower your price if you ask them right. I have no knowledge of you distriburer or present usage, but 400 gallons per year makes a big difference from the 401 gallon price or 500 vs 501 and 1000 and 1001. So take the time to look up your usage.

 

They also have the right equipment to adjust the gas pressure and know what a proper flame is.

 

FYI, this is my area pricing today.;

So if I was using 400 gallons, company tank, gas would cost me $2.70 per gallon.   But if I upped my ussage to 401, it would be $1.60 per gallon. So you theoretically could save money by wasting gas..  You have to know your volume!  Just so you know3, I’m within 50 miles of the Selkirk terminus of the gas pipeline that supplys the whole of the northeast.  Closer to the wells means lower pipeline cost.
