PHOENIX, Dec. 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Winter is coming, and
U-Haul® is encouraging its customers to replenish their
propane supply for heating and cooking purposes before the busy
holiday weeks and harsh winter storms arrive.
Propane sales typically spike in late December and January as
families and businesses put their patio heaters and fire pits to
use. Demand for propane also rises when heavy snowfall or deep
freezes occur, leading to longer waits at stores and greater
difficulty reaching propane locations. It's best to follow the boy
scout motto and be prepared.
Propane, a clean-burning fuel, is sold at more than 1,200 U-Haul
locations across the U.S. and Canada. U-Haul-operated stores are open every
day of the year except Christmas.
To keep propane tanks in optimal condition this winter, remember
these five tips:
1. Keep
propane tanks off the ground to prevent rust
|
2. Cover your
grill to protect it from the elements
|
3. Store
tanks in ventilated areas; do NOT store in sheds, garages or
homes
|
4. Propane
heaters should ONLY be used for patios, outdoor job sites and large
ventilated workshops
|
5. Avoid
refill trips during winter storms by filling tanks
now
|
U-Haul has been the largest U.S. retailer of propane since 1987
while offering a variety of tanks, gauges and accessories right at
the pump. Certified technicians perform free safety inspections on
every propane cylinder filled at U-Haul.
"Safety is our top priority," said Scott
Johnson, U-Haul Propane Manager. "Providing safe and
convenient propane locations to our customers is important. We're
thrilled to continue expanding our propane offerings, bringing more
and more customers the affordable propane they need."
Purchase new U-Haul propane tanks and portable propane
heaters at uhaul.com. Tanks are also available in-store and
have a 12-year initial certification lifespan.
U-Haul continues to add propane refill stations and tank
exchange services to its centers. Below are the latest locations to
