   Did you know?
Propane is a liquid stored under pressure in tanks and cylinders. In most systems, propane is vaporized to a gas before it leaves the tank or cylinder and then is dispensed through a pressure regulator to your appliance.

Used and handled properly, propane is a safe and economical fuel. In its natural state, propane is an odorless, colorless gas. For safety reasons, a non-toxic odorant is added to give propane its distinctive smell. Penn Valley Gas delivery and service personnel are trained and certified in the proper handling of propane.

Comfort and versatility
Why do millions of homeowners choose propane? Because it is a single-source energy supply for limitless applications. Propane heats the home to a consistent warmth, warms water quickly and efficiently, dries laundry faster, cooks food quickly to exact temperatures, puts a cozy fire in the fireplace, fuels the outdoor lights and backyard grill, and heats the pool.

Environmentally friendly
Propane is one of the cleanest fuels around. It’s nontoxic, which means it doesn’t harm the environment. It burns so cleanly and efficiently that it minimizes harmful emissions. Considered a “solution to pollution,” it is one of the clean-burning fuels named in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.
