There are a lot of things to do this time of year, what with buying and wrapping gifts, sending cards, hosting or going to holiday dinners and parties, and more.
Don’t put cold water on all the holly-jolly with a propane run-out at your North Carolina home!
Make sure you have enough propane to keep your home cozy and warm all winter long.
First, you should know how to read your propane tank gauge levels. Don’t let your tank get below 25 percent full, or you’re at risk for a runout if the weather turns bad.
You can also have an idea of how much propane the propane appliances in your home use. Here’s a guide to the average yearly usage rates for the more common propane appliances. Keep in mind that propane usage for these usually goes up in the winter months.
| Propane appliance | Annual gallons of propane used |
| Propane furnace | 500 |
| Propane water heater | 200 |
| Propane fireplace | 100 |
| Propane stove or range | 35 |
