- Building heat and hot water for farmhouses, tenant houses, livestock buildings/milk parlors, wineries, craft brew houses, and greenhouse operations. Propane costs are typically less than electric and continue to operate during power outages, which is critical to agricultural operations.
- Propane crop drying is the right choice for more than 50% of farmers per the Propane Education & Research Council’s (PERC) Farm Incentive Program based upon its reliability and environmental friendliness. In fact, when propane is used with newer crop-drying equipment there is more than 50% energy savings over the use of older equipment.
- Irrigation engines that operate on propane are significantly more environmentally friendly than diesel- or gasoline-powered equipment, have lower operating costs, and require less maintenance.
- Flame weed control or insect flaming is growing significantly with the emergence of organic farming. This process can be done in virtually any growth stage and any weather, does not leave any chemical residues on the crops or in the soil, is financially competitive with the use of herbicides, and does not damage the soil microbes.
- Backup generators that provide critical power during electrical outages. This is especially critical to many farms that need to keep their milk houses in operation or other critical equipment operating during prolonged outages.
- Vehicle Autogas, which is gaining popularity as an alternative fuel to meet federal, state, and local emissions standards. Farmers are environmentally conscious and with the selection of propane powered-pickups and medium-duty trucks to choose from, they will experience lower fuel costs (than diesel or gas) and less vehicle maintenance.

Propane Safety in South Dansville, NY for your Home or Business
Propane is a safe, reliable energy option that consumers across the country count on to heat their homes, power their appliances, and keep daily life running smoothly. Approved as an alternative fuel under the Clean Air Act and the National Energy Policy, propane is environmentally friendly and clean burning with lower greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions than most fossil fuels. However, it is important that customers are aware of the potential safety hazards and the safety procedures you should follow to ensure that you and your family are safe when using propane.
The following are key highlights to keep everyone safe and to reduce the risk of serious and potentially fatal injury, fire, or explosion:
Know the Smell of Propane
- Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk’s spray, or a dead animal.
- Some people may have a less sensitive sense of smell and on rare occasions propane may lose its odor. A good option to overcome this sensitivity is the installation of one or more propane gas detectors that would sound an alarm if propane is in the air.
If You Smell Gas or Your Propane Gas Detector Is Alarming
- Immediately extinguish all smoking materials or open flames and DO NOT operate any lights, appliances, or phones.
- Evacuate the building immediately where you suspect propane may be leaking.
- If it is safe to do so, turn off the supply valve on your propane tank by turning it in a clockwise direction.
- Report the gas leak immediately from a nearby location by calling Valley Energy at (877) 480-3067, 911, or your local fire department.
- DO NOT return to the building or area of the propane leak until a qualified Valley Energy service technician has inspected the entire propane system.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Your Safety
- Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, odorless gas that is produced from incomplete combustion that can cause serious health issues.
- Signs of improper combustion include sooting on appliances and vents, burning odors, or increased moisture on the inside of windows.
- Symptoms of CO poisoning include headache, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and nausea. If you or a family member show physical signs of CO poisoning, evacuate the building immediately and call 911 or your local fire department.
Appliance Maintenance
- Only a qualified service technician should install, service, or repair your appliances and piping system.
- Do not modify or repair any valves, regulators, connectors, controls or other system parts as this may create the risk of a gas leak that can result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
- If a pilot light repeatedly goes out or is difficult to light, there may be a safety problem. It is strongly recommended that you call a qualified service technician to inspect and repair the problem.
Running out of Gas
- A serious safety hazard may occur if you run out of gas including the risk of a fire, explosion, or serious injury. You must call Valley Energy immediately at (877) 480-3067 to report the out of gas condition so a qualified service technician can inspect the propane system and perform a mandatory leak check.
