Are you looking for Propane Heaters in NJ? Modern Propane has a wide variety of Propane Heaters in NJ from leading brands.

Safety Tips With Propane Heaters

Propane heaters have become popular among people now. This is mainly because propane is a clean and reliable source of energy. And because, small and portable propane heaters are of great use as they can be carried anywhere like to camps, workshops, hunting blinds, or ice fishing shanties, if the temperature begins to drop.

While these small heaters provide many benefits to their users, there are also always the chances of small accidents. This is why it is important to learn some safety tips when you are using this portable space heater.


  • Know the space

  • Propane heaters are very good when they are used in the outside well-ventilated spaces. This is because these heaters use open flames to generate heat. However, if you need to heat up inside spaces, then these heaters are not the best choice because propane heaters can pose a carbon monoxide hazard if they are used in an improper ventilation facility.

    Hence, remember to use propane heaters only in open and ventilated spaces.


  • Don’t leave it on ice overnight

  • Cold spaces like ice fishing houses do need a heater or some other equipment to keep the occupants warm and comfortable. But it should be remembered that propane heaters should not be left ‘on’ overnight on the ice, as that can lead to the melting of ice below the house. This can create a dangerous situation for anyone who is inside or around the house.

    Hence, you should only use approved propane heaters to warm the ice house.


  • Let fresh oxygen in

  • If you have taken a portable propane heater along with you to a small space like a fish house or a hunting blind and it is running on high then you should remember that it must be consuming some of your oxygen as a result of which you can feel suffocated.

    Hence, remember to open doors or windows frequently in order to let in some fresh oxygen.


  • Find a heater with safety options

  • With so many options available in the market one should choose a propane heater that has all the necessary safety features like secure propane tank guard, an oxygen depletion sensor, automatic tip-over shut off, a safe propane tank guard, etc.

    Also, you should read the manual carefully in order to understand the functioning of these safety features wisely.

    So, these are all the safety tips that you need to pay attention to while using a propane heater.

    Propane Tank Delivery System

    For commercial Propane tank refill customers we have two options, either to bring their propane tanks to our refill station, or we can set these customers up for a convenient propane delivery instead, through JackGas - our propane delivery service. We could deliver up to 100 lb. propane tanks that are used mostly for propane heaters on construction sites or large outdoor festivals.

    How to Ensure If It Is Time For Propane Tank Delivery Or Not?


    One has to maintain a check on the propane cylinder or tank to make sure that you have got enough supply of propane left in your tank to run the appliances. Because in case, if the tank runs empty and you still have not called for the propane tank delivery, then you might face some troubles. Hence, today we will teach you how to measure the level of Propane left in the cylinder. The 2 simplest methods of measuring propane include-



  • The hot water method

  • If you are in a hurry and you would like to get approximate of how much propane you have got left in your tank then the hot water method can get you fast results. Plus, it is also a very simple method. But one thing that you should remember while using this method is that it gives only an estimated measurement and that nothing can’t be said with utmost surety here.

    Now all you need to do in order to get an estimate of propane here is to fill a cup with hot water from the tap and then spill that water on the side of the propane tank. Now after that, run a hand on the side of the tank and look for a cool spot. The top of the cool spot is your propane level. This is so because propane absorbs the heat from the water, while the water above continues to remain hot.



  • To install a gauge

  • If you want to keep a check on when you should get your propane tank delivered then you may want to get a gauge for yourself from a hardware store. These can be found at affordable prices in different forms in almost all places. The various types of gauges include an inline pressure gauge, digital propane tank scales, and analog propane scales.

    Now, all you have to do, in order to get a reading of propane level with the help of a gauge is to multiply the number that it displays (which should be between 10 and 80) with the tank’s total capacity. And you have got your figure!

    So, this is what you should do to ensure whether or not you need a propane tank delivery.
