Is propane a safe fuel? The answer is a resounding yes! Propane, also known as a liquified petroleum gas, LP-gas or LPG, is a hydrocarbon (C3H8) that is one of the lightest, simplest hydrocarbons in existence, and is one of the cleanest burning of all of the fossil fuels. This non-toxic, colorless and virtually odorless gas, can be readily detected. Not only is it one of the safest gases, but the tank in which it is stored, can be monitored for safety and for its volume by none other than Pennywise Fuel Company, the home heating people who care!

Go green and save money with propane! Those of us in the know, realize that every chef cooking with gas is going to compel more accurate cooking and less warm-up time, as well. Also, a gas clothes dryer dries your clothes more quickly and efficiently than electric. A propane, tankless on-demand hot water heater only heats your water when you need it and is up to 30% more efficient than electric. A propane furnace/boiler is a clean and reliable home heating source and a decorative fireplace heats a room with elegance. In your backyard, heating your pool and spa with propane will give you added months of swimming. Propane space heaters and outdoor fireplaces add warmth and beauty. You can even choose to add propane torches for your next party. Your garages can also be heated with space heaters.

Propane is flammable, like all gases, therefore, we want to keep you safe! It is used to power furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, outdoor grills, fireplaces, and appliances. Propane burns at an even rate when properly mixed with air in your appliance, furnace, fireplace, etc. Some of Pennywise Fuel Company’s propane products include propane gas fireplaces and hearths, hearth stoves, space heaters, vent-free gas heaters, vented gas heaters, propane furnaces, propane gas dryers, propane hot water heaters, propane ranges, and many outdoor useful products, so check them out at https://pennywisefuel.com/#ProductsServices. At least annually, you should have your gas systems inspected and checked. We offer this service, as well, to keep our customers safe!

There are a couple of services in which Pennywise offers to keep you safe. Choose safety and reliability with ‘Degree Day’ dispatch by becoming an automatic customer. Letting your propane container run empty causes your system to lose pressure, and potential hazards can result. If you ever run out of gas, turn off all gas appliances and turn off the shutoff valve on your propane container. Then call us and tell us!!! Avoid this whole scenario by joining hundreds of customers who choose automatic delivery, FREE OF CHARGE! The other service we offer for your safety is tank monitoring. With tank monitoring, we are notified when your tank is getting lower. You can always check for yourself on the tank monitoring app. This is also a FREE service that a group of our customers has come to rely on and use every month.

Propane is the way to go nowadays, for safety, fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Pennywise is your number one choice because we offer the top of the line propane products, along with top of the line services to keep you and your family safe and comfortable throughout the entire year.

Given the expense of owning a pool, it makes sense to be able to use it for as long as you can from spring to fall.  One way to do this is to install a heater. You can either purchase a gas-fired unit or an electric heat pump.

Please note that to size a heater correctly you must consider pool size and/or surface area, average wind speed, average ambient temperature, and the desired temperature rise. A heater that is too small for a pool may only add 5-10 degrees to the water, less during colder ambient temperatures or windy days, and more during the hot part of the summer, that is least desired. A larger heater can add up to 30 degrees in temperature rise, no matter what the air temperature or wind speed. A cover will also reduce recovery time and make any pool heater more efficient. Although electric heat pumps operate very efficiently and may require less maintenance than a propane-powered heater, these are the top 7 advantages for choosing a propane unit:

• PENNYWISE FUEL CAN HOOK YOUR POOL TO YOUR MAIN PROPANE TANK, ENSURING THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A HEATED POOL, NOT A COLD ONE.
• Propane is more friendly to the environment. Not only will you save energy, but you will reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
• Propane-powered heaters have been proven to warm pools more quickly than electric heat pumps, and they maintain that heat better in cold weather. This can extend the use of your pool from the early spring into the fall season, instead of just late spring through the summer season. 
• Propane is more energy-efficient than natural gas, so you will use less fuel to heat your pool.
• Propane heaters not only heat your pool, but they also maintain the temperature of your choice. 
• Heat pumps need warm humid weather to transfer that energy from the air to the pool. Cool days and cold nights in spring and early fall impede the ability of a heat pump to warm your pool during these months, thus shortening your season use of the pool.
• Heat pumps raise temperatures through long run cycles, which means slow recovery times. A correctly sized gas heater, contrarily, will get the water up to the temperature you want much faster than a comparable heat pump. Propane pool heaters are also available for every size of underground and above ground pools. 

There are a few key reasons for using propane in the spring. The most popular propane use is for outdoor cookouts, then comes a propane powered pool heater and/or hot tub, and, finally, a propane-fueled portable heater or space heater. Look no further than Pennywise Fuel for all your propane needs.

Round up your friends and family in the spring and summertime for a BBQ or a cookout. This popular use for propane in the spring is by far the most widely used. If you are thinking about switching to a propane-powered grill, let Pennywise Fuel hook up your gas grill to one of our tanks to save you time and to add the convenience of no longer needing to travel to crowded filling stations anymore. Furthermore, you will not be in the middle of a cookout and then run out of fuel.

The most fun use of propane is using a propane-powered pool heater and/or hot tub. Although the warm weather may be a distant thought, you can extend the life of your summer fun with a propane-powered pool heater and/or hot tub. Again, we can hook up to our tanks for either one of them.

Whether you are going on a camping trip or even in your own backyard, add a space heater or portable heater and extend your outdoor fun from the springtime right through to the fall. We carry both models and would be happy to tell you of the benefits of each and which model would fit your needs.

Finally, there is no need to look anywhere else but Pennywise Fuel for all your propane needs! We can hook you up to our tank for propane-powered grills and for your propane-powered pool heater or hot tub. We can also hook you up with the space heater or portable heater for all your needs.

Pennywise Fuel Company—the home heating people who care!

With the winter months over, it Is time to think about spring propane safety. We, at Pennywise Fuel, care about our customers and know the importance of year-round safety. In some cases, and depending on usage, etc., safety can be just as important as and goes hand in hand with checking and cleaning your heating system and your furnace at this time of year. We have some tips to help you achieve this.

Remove all combustible materials, including but not limited to dry grass, wood, or debris, etc. located within 10 feet of your propane tank or cylinders. This will clear a path for our drivers to make a safe delivery without having to worry about any obstacles in their way. We install your tank the best possible way, which is outside in a cool location.

Furthermore, Pennywise Fuel will come out and perform a maintenance call for your water heater, furnace, fireplace, wall unit, and free-standing stove, at your request and if your usage is high. Sediment and debris can build up over time, and make these appliances work harder and less efficiently, adding higher costs in maintenance and in replacement of these appliances.

Ready, set, go and have a safe and fun outdoor spring and summer season! Pennywise Fuel wants you to have peace of mind that you and your family are safe throughout the entire year, so, spring clean away!

Do you know how to check your propane tank levels and do you know when it is time to call Pennywise for a delivery? It is simple and there are 3 basic methods to checking your propane tank level—the hot water method, checking the actual tank gauge, or installing a tank monitor. Save yourself some time and unnecessary phone calls by being self-sufficient and capable of ascertaining as to when you need a propane delivery from Pennywise-if you are not already receiving automatic deliveries. Life is busy and the last thing you need to worry about is running out of propane.

If you are not receiving our automatic delivery service, it is essential that you check your propane level to ensure that you have a consistent supply of propane to power your appliances and your home. If you have a tank that holds less than 48 gallons (no tank gauges on this size tank), then the most simple and quickest way to check your propane level is by utilizing the hot water method. You simply fill up a cup of hot tap water and pour it down the side of the tank. Then run your hand down the side of the tank until you feel a cool spot. The top of the cool spot will be the fill level of the tank. The propane absorbs the heat from the water, therefore the tank above the estimated fill line will remain hot.

Most of our propane tanks are installed with tank gauges. Forty-eight-gallon tanks or more are the ones that possess tank gauges, as mentioned earlier. There are 3 types of tank gauges—inline pressure gauges (the ones that we provide), analog propane scales, and digital propane tank scales.

Reading a gauge is very straightforward. The tank gauge can usually be found under the cover and next to the fill pipe. Numbers between 10-80 are displayed. These are percentages of how much is left in the tank. Your propane tank will never be filled above 80% to allow for expansion. Expansion is mostly caused by the hot weather. We recommend that you do not call us until your tank is at 30% or less to avoid a short fill fee..

The best way to check the level of your propane is with the installation of a propane tank monitor. If you have a gauge, this technology allows us to view your tank levels and we will give you a call, notifying you to give us a call for a delivery. If Pennywise Fuel installs a tank monitor on your propane tank, we will set you up with automatic deliveries to avoid running out of propane. You must first fill out a credit application in order to be approved for this service and you must also have at least (2) 120-gallon tanks, equaling 240 total gallons. Automatic deliveries allow you the peace of mind of never running out of propane. The reasons people run out of propane are because they neglected to check their tank level or because of a gas leak.

We hope these handy tips leave you with a better sense of how to determine your tank levels. It makes everyone’s life easier if you can manage either performing the hot water method, reading your tank gauge or reading your tank monitor. Pennywise Fuel is always here if you have questions. You can contact us at 570-629-0800.

Propane tank size does matter because the pricing of the propane is affected by a couple of different factors due to tank size. The number of appliances used and the size of the dwelling are the two factors that can affect pricing of propane, which relates also to tank size.

Tank sizes vary. Tanks can hold 23, 60, 120, 250, 325, 500 and 1,000 gallons of propane. Should I purchase a tank that holds 250 gallons or 500 gallons of propane? Most people do not know the answer to this question. The answer to this question is that It depends on the amount of usage.

Utilizing a larger tank does not necessarily mean that you will save in the end because if you are not using the larger amount of fuel, then it’s not worth it to pay extra for a larger tank. Vaporization is a key factor, especially in the colder months, so why purchase extra fuel if it is not going to last? The larger tanks cost more, so you should utilize a tank according to the amount of fuel that you will use. Furthermore, Pennywise Fuel advises that you do not purchase your own tank because of the issues of liability, insurance, monitoring, the difficult set up of the tank, maintenance, repairs and for your own safety.

Pennywise Fuel suggests that if you are only using the propane for a fireplace, then you should only use a 120-gallon tank. If a consumer uses it for more appliances, then they will use more propane, thus driving the consumer’s price down. If your house is larger, you will use more propane, thus also driving the consumer’s price down.

All things considered, tank size and usage does matter because it affects the pricing of the propane. The more propane is used, the lower the price per gallon of propane. Pennywise Fuel can help you decide which tank size is best for you. Give us a call at 570-629-0800 and we will advise you on which tank size is most suitable for your situation.
