What is GAS Check?

Gas Appliance System Check is a special service program we offer to our customers in association with the National Propane Gas Association. It's aim is to let you enjoy the convenience of propane with safety and peace of mind.

 

A GAS Check serviceman makes a complete inspection of your propane system and appliances from tank to burner tip. It takes only 30-60 minutes and will assure you that all your appliances and your entire system is operating properly.
