Gas Check

Although propane is a safe and economical fuel, it's very important that your entire propane system be properly maintained. A GASCheck® inspection, performed by Aleutian Propane Sales, includes checking such things as your tank, piping regulator, gauges, connectors, valves, vents, thermostats, pilots, burners, appliance controls, and then pressure-testing to be sure that the entire system is leak-free. You're informed of worn or damaged equipment and changes that will give long-term benefits. We explain the safest, most economical way to operate your system. And we teach you how to recognize the odor of propane and steps to follow in the event of an emergency. Our professionally trained technicians who have the skills and experience necessary to spot existing problems perform this service. Checking a propane system is not a do-it-yourself project. Insist on safety. With a GASCheck®, your system will operate at peak efficiency, safely.

The propane industry offers an award-winning national preventive maintenance program for homeowners called GASCheck® (Gas Appliance System Check). GASCheck®is a registered trademark and stands for Gas Appliance System (GAS) Check.

GASCheck® is an important home safety program that was developed by the National Propane Gas Association and the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association to educate consumers on propane safety. Home appliance and fuel systems need regular check-ups to keep them running properly.

Propane gas professionals received advanced training in service and safety at industry-sponsored service and safety schools each year. This commitment to ongoing training means your propane gas professional can help with a wide range of repair and service needs. During a GASCheck®, a trained technician inspects your propane gas appliances to ensure they are operating safely and efficiently.
