Propane Tank Monitoring Prevents Runouts

Real-time data on your fuel levels — at your fingertips!

propane monitor new jersey On frosty nights like we experience this time of the year, it’s a relief to have robust propane heat. You and your family can stay warm and toasty, no matter how cold it gets outside.

Of course, you need a reliable propane delivery company to be confident in your home’s heat, hot water and gas-fired appliances. In Morris, Somerset and Sussex counties, Dixon Energy keeps countless propane tanks filled all year round. But if you’re calling us every time you need a delivery, you could be risking a propane runout.

Propane runouts are a serious concern.

When your home’s furnace, boiler, water heater, stove or dryer (or some combination) depends on propane, running out of fuel has significant ramifications. Your family’s safety could be at risk if it’s below freezing outside.

You’ll need to schedule an emergency delivery, but there are other steps our team will need to take. A technician must perform a leak/pressure test before your tank can be filled and your propane equipment restarted.

Automatic delivery reduces uncertainty.

Most of our customers avoid having to track their tank levels by signing up for free automatic propane delivery. With automatic delivery, Dixon Energy handles all your planning for you. We calculate your propane tank level using your usage history and current weather data. Then we deliver more fuel before you run low.

Automatic delivery is a no-stress option for customers, but it depends on data projections. If you want complete precision in your propane supply, we suggest you enroll in our TankUtility wireless propane tank monitoring.
