Pressure Testing
Pressure tests are important to keep you and your family safe.  The reason a pressure test is necessary is to make sure that no leaks have developed once pressure has been restored to a system. 

When pressure is relieved from a piping system, the joints in the piping become relaxed.  When pressure is restored these joints may develop new leaks that were not present before.  This is especially possible in systems that have sat unused for a long periods of time.

A pressure test consists of restoring pressure to the tank and line, and using a number of different gauges to show whether the line is leaking, or is safe to put back into service.  Usually this process can take from 30 minutes to an hour to complete.  The propane specialist will generally ask you to come verify the gauges and explain what it means.  Once the process is complete you will have piece of mind knowing that your home is clear of any kind of leaks.

Remember first time pressure tests are free, so don't hesitate to call.
