Propane boilers — propane gas odorant

Propane boilers only — Your propane supplier mixes an odorant with the propane to make its presence detectable. In some instances, the odorant can fade and the gas may no longer have an odor.

■Propane gas can accumulate at floor level. Smell near the floor for the gas odorant or any unusual odor. If you suspect a leak, do not attempt to light the burner.

■Use caution when attempting to light a propane burner (or pilot burner). This should be done by a qualified service technician, particularly if flame outages (or pilot outages) are common.

■Periodically check the odorant level of your gas.

■Inspect boiler and system at least yearly to make sure all gas piping is leak-tight.

■Consult your propane supplier regarding installation of a gas leak detector. There are some products on the market intended for this purpose. Your supplier may be able to suggest an appropriate device.
