Automatic
Delivery-At Sequoia Gas most of our customers
are enrolled in this program. We monitor your usage
so that you never have to contact us for delivery.
If you are a Automatic Delivery Customer, Sequoia Gas
takes responsibility for estimating your propane usage
based on our advanced computer modeling and schedules
a delivery when our system indicates you need a fill.
You’ll never have to call us to schedule your service;
it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
• Qualified
Customers can experience the convenience and dependability
of this plan at no additional cost
• Automatic Delivery Customers must be credit
approved, remain current on propane payments, and your propane
tank must be readily accessible to qualify for this
service
• If your propane usage changes significantly,
we ask that you contact your local office
Will Call - Will
Call service is provided with the understanding that
deliveries will be made when a delivery truck is in the
area running a normal route. Will Call customers
must call when their tank is no less than 20%. this
will give our drivers ample time to work the delivery
into his regular schedule. If you request a special
trip or if you run out of propane, there will be extra
charges added above the price of the propane delivered.
• Call your
local Sequoia Gas office to schedule a delivery when
your tank reaches 20 percent capacity or about five business
days before you’d like your tank filled
• Emergency deliveries can be made after hours,
on weekends, or holidays should you need it. Please
be aware that unscheduled deliveries are subject to
an additional charge
• If your propane tank is empty or service is
otherwise interrupted, Sequoia Gas is required to perform
a safety leak test before placing your propane system
back into service. This a $70.00 fee. |

Home Heating
You can save as much as 10 percent a year on your heating
and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back
10 percent to 15 percent for eight hours. Clean or replace
filters on furnaces once a month or as needed. Clean
warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators
as needed; make sure they’re not blocked by furniture,
carpeting, or drapes. Use kitchen, bath, and other ventilating
fans wisely; in just 60 minutes, these fans can pull
out a houseful of warmed or cooled air. Turn fans off
as soon as they have done the job.
Water Heaters
Repair leaky faucets promptly; a leaky faucet wastes
gallons of water in a short period.
Insulate your hot-water storage tank and pipes, but
be careful not to cover the thermostat. With a propane,
natural gas, or oil water heater, be careful not to
cover the water heater’s top, bottom, or burner
compartment; when in doubt, get professional help
Although most water heaters last 10-15 years, it’s
best to start shopping for a new one if yours is more
than seven years old.
Lower the thermostat on a water heater; a setting of
115° Fahrenheit provides comfortable hot water
for most uses
Drain a quart of water from the water tank every three
months to remove sediment that impedes heat transfer
and lowers the efficiency of the heater
Take more showers than baths. Less than 10 gallons
of water are used during a five-minute shower while
15-25 gallons of hot water are used for a bath.
Home Appliances
When purchasing a gas oven or range, look for one with
an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric
ignition saves gas—because a pilot light is not
burning continuously.
Be sure that all burners are burning with a blue, cone-shaped
flame. A yellow flame indicates clogged air inlets
or burners that need adjustment. Contact a propane
retailer’s service department immediately if
you do not see a blue flame.
Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean; they will
reflect the heat better, and you will save energy.
Make sure the refrigerator door seals are airtight.
Test them by closing the door over a piece of paper
or a dollar bill so it is half in and half out of the
refrigerator. If you can pull the paper or bill out
easily, the latch may need adjustment or the seal may
need replacing
Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels
when buying appliances. ENERGY STAR® is a program
of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) designed to help consumers
identify energy-efficient appliances and products.
The bright yellow EnergyGuide sticker will tell you
how much it will cost to run the water heater for one
year. Propane water heaters cost a third less to operate
than electric models.
