As your trusted propane supplier, Hall is committed to the smooth operation of your equipment. One vital component of your propane system is the regulator. To gain a deeper understanding of your system’s overall operation, let’s take a look at what regulators are and why they’re so important.
Propane regulators control the flow of gas and lower the pressure from the tank to your appliances. They are required safety components of your system that prevent the uncontrolled release of gas. With regulators in place, you can rely on a consistent and safe supply of propane at the required pressure your equipment needs to operate efficiently whenever needed.
Propane regulators have a limited lifespan of 15 to 25 years. In the case of damage, regulators are not repaired—they are always replaced. Your propane supplier will inspect the tank regulator along with the tank and valves each time you require a refill. During a recommended annual service of your equipment, the technician will inspect all regulators to ensure your entire system is running efficiently.
Running out of propane can be detrimental to your equipment and the regulator itself. Similar to a car running out of gas under acceleration, it can strain and damage your propane system. Although it may take some time for a regulator to fail, continually running out of propane can lead to costly appliance repairs, fees associated with leak checks or equipment replacements for propane customers.
In the event of a fuel outage, propane suppliers are legally obligated to perform a leak check on your system. This is a standard safety protocol due to the interruption of the gas flow through the regulator, and customers may be responsible for these charges (customers enrolled in Autofill with good financial standing do not pay for leak checks). Proactive measures to prevent fuel shortages are key to minimizing risk and unexpected expenses.
Propane suppliers like Hall offer proactive solutions to streamline your propane management. Hall customers can enroll in Smart Link remote tank monitoring and automatic delivery to track propane levels conveniently from their smartphones and automatically schedule refills based on usage patterns.
The propane regulator plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and safety of your propane system. Without proper fuel regulation, appliances will not function as expected and can be dangerous. For added convenience and peace of mind, Hall will supply the tank and tank regulator for you. We’re dedicated to keeping your equipment operating at peak performance for years to come so you can Live In Comfort.
