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.
