The gas system in and around your home is dependent upon a series of equipment that all need to work together to provide efficient and safe delivery into and throughout the home.
Our service department works hard to keep your gas system updated and working properly.
Mid-County Coop keeps detailed records of each propane tank and info related to each structure that tank feeds. As the owner or lessee named on the tank, you may receive communication from us regarding a number of different service milestones that need to be performed at the residence or on the tank itself.
• Leak Checks- Every 5 years( checks entire gas system from the tank to the end appliance)
• Flow & Lockup – Coincides with leak checks. This test is done inside the home and at the appliance to make sure regulators are adjusted correctly for maximum efficiency and appliance safety.
• Regulator Replacement – The propane industry has adopted a 20yr manufacturer suggested life span on most regulators. Each home has at least 2 regulators working in the gas system. One is on the tank that reduces pressure coming from the tank, and one is on the structure reducing the pressure before entering the interior. Some homes may also have additional interior regulators that control pressures at each appliance.
• Propane tank maintenance – Each tank receives visual inspection every time the tank gets filled or any time service work is performed. Tanks are inspected for outdated or nonworking valves, excessive rust, dents, solid footing or any other notation that would require a closer look. If needed, we may choose to perform repairs on site, or we may exchange the tank with a different one.
Our service department is equipped and trained to perform maintenance in and around your home with anything related to the propane gas system.
Our ask to homeowners:
• Call immediately if you smell propane gas.( 952) 466-3720
• Let us know of any recent or planned gas appliance changes in the home.
• Let us know about any storm damage in the area where the tank is sitting.
• Communicate any questions or concerns you might have regarding the gas system in your home.
