Working safely with propane and butane systems
Propane and butane systems are widely used for heating, hot water supply, and cooking. However, a system that does not function properly or is connected incorrectly can lead to dangerous situations, such as gas leaks, fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
That is why an inspection is required when a system is first put into service, and it must subsequently be inspected periodically. This ensures that the system operates safely and complies with applicable laws and regulations.
Complete inspection of the gas system
During the inspection, our specialists examine the entire propane or butane system. We check the gas lines, the gas appliances, the flue gas exhaust, the air supply, and the room where the system is installed.
In addition, we perform a leak test to determine whether the gas lines are completely leak-free. This allows us to detect any leaks in a timely manner and minimize safety risks.
Afterward, you’ll receive a digital inspection report with the results and any points of concern. This report can be requested by your gas supplier, insurer, or the relevant government agency.
Assurance of safety and regulatory compliance
A professional inspection provides insight into the safety of your propane or butane system and ensures you comply with applicable regulations.
Here’s what this means for you:
- You reduce the risk of fire, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning
- You meet the legal inspection requirements
