As colder temps and the promise of winter weather draws near, we ask that you help us at Styer Propane ensure timely deliveries of your propane this winter. When winter weather strikes, we would appreciate your taking the time to clear driveways and tanks free of snow. We would also appreciate your help in marking the tank location in advance of coming winter weather if you are scheduled for a delivery. Remember, if our drivers cannot access your tank, we will not be able to keep you warm when temperatures become cold.
All of us at Styer Propane thank you in advance for your cooperation!
As we move into November, most of our friends in Chester County, Berks County, Montgomery County and beyond have already had to turn on the heat a few times so far this fall. Several nights these past few weeks in October have been downright chilly! At Styer Propane, we promise to do our best to serve your propane needs all winter long, but we also recommend that you have a qualified heating and cooling technician who maintains your heating system prior to the start of Fall and Winter. Many HVAC companies have maintenance programs which offer customers a savings but you can choose a path that is best for your home and your family’s budget. The most important piece is that you are operating your system in a safe and effective manner. A trained heating and cooling specialist will check your furnace, boiler and other equipment to make sure it is operating in a safe and effective manner and may make recommendations based on equipment age and performance. Not every winter is a bear, but it will get cold enough for you to make sure that your system is running safely. If you have any questions about the safety of your system, call a qualified heating company today.
It’s finally cooling off a little around the Delaware Valley so that we can all enjoy our time outside without worrying too much about the heat. This summer has been a scorcher and, here at Styer Propane, we have lost count of the number of red hot summers that were followed up by frigid, foul winters. Whatever winter brings us in 2016-17, rest assured that the hard working drivers and office staff here at Styer will have you covered for all of your propane needs!
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind folks that our Pre-Buy offer ends September 30th (or while supplies last). Be sure to save on propane by talking to a Styer representative about this year’s savings.
Finally, we would like to mention that our office will be closed on Monday, September 5th in observance of the Labor Day holiday. For those of you squeezing that last bit of fun out of summer, we wish you a safe and happy Labor Day!
Now that summer is finally here, as many of you have come to expect, Styer Propane will will once again offer our Pre-Buy program. Remember that our Pre-Buy program is fist come – first served. Accordingly, stay tuned to this site and our facebook page for updates. We expect to be able to make our announcement regarding this year’s Pre-Buy details around the middle of July. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving your propane needs!
This weekend, what has come to be known as Memorial Day Weekend and the Unofficial Start of Summer will no doubt bring joy and good times to many across the region with backyard BBQ parties and quick trips to the Jersey Shore, Pocono Mountains as well as the Delaware and Maryland beaches. We do wish all of those folks who will enjoy that extra day off with family and friends a safe and relaxing weekend.
More importantly though, our thoughts this Monday will be with the families of fallen military service members. Our way of life in this country; our rights to live, do business and worship how we please is guaranteed by the sacrifices made by young men and women over the last two and a half centuries and those sacrifices continue across the world to this day. To those United States servicemen and women and their families and to those who continue to serve and risk each and every day, we say thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

If you are like we are, you fire up the grill on the first warm Saturday or Sunday in springtime. What’s better than a backyard picnic with the smell of meat cooking on the grill. If you are grilling with propane this spring and summer, we invite you to review some simple tips which will provide you with safe grilling all season long.
Checking for Leaks
After a long period of sitting idle, such as through the winter season, a grill and its propane tank and hose should be checked for leaks. You should also check for leaks each time you change out a new propane cylinder.
- Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose using a brush or spray bottle.
- Turn the propane tank on. If there is a gas leak, the propane will release bubbles around the hose.
- If there are no bubbles, your grill is safe to use.
Getting Started
- Don’t ask the propane supplier to overfill the cylinder. A 20 pound cylinder should be filled only to 80% of its capacity, leaving room for expansion.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s procedures for lighting, cleaning and maintaining your grill.
- When lighting a gas grill, always keep the lid open to prevent a flash off from gas build-up.
- Do not lean over the grill when igniting the burners or cooking.
Good Grilling
- Be present when grilling. Do not leave an active grill unattended.
- Never use a propane cylinder if it shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, excessive rust or other forms of visual external damage.
What a wonderful time of the year! It would appear as though winter has taken its final gasp for the 2015-16 season and spring is quickly making itself more visible with every passing day. The first few flowers have begun to pop up and early blooming trees are also showing their colors. At Styer Propane, we love the spring as it gives our team an opportunity to take a deep breath from the hectic mad dash of the winter season. With the kids on break and Easter upon us, we would like to remind everyone that we will be closed on March 25 in observance of Good Friday. We would also like to wish all of our customers a Happy Easter and a Happy Spring!
If you have a pool, you know how excited your family (and neighbors) get this time of year as spring and summer appear on the horizon. This winter has not been too dreadful as far as super cold temps are concerned. Currently, propane prices are very reasonable and nationwide supply remains high. Make sure you call Styer Propane before pools season so we can fill the propane tank that provides your pool with heat. We will check to make sure every thing is safe so that you can feel confident in running your pool heater all spring and summer long. Make sure also to have your pool heater maintained by a professional once, if not twice a year for maximum performance. Call Styer Propane if you have any questions about your pool heater or for timely delivery or propane in 2016!
This past weekend’s blizzard was certainly one for the record books in and around Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Berks Counties. So far this week, we have had the pleasure of serving a number of folks who were able to get their driveways shoveled and plowed out. Many of these customers even cleared off the top of their propane tanks and shoveled a pathway for our drivers to walk easily from our trucks. A big thanks to all. We have also had a small number of instances where driveways had yet to be cleared and access to the tank was limited at best. We would like to remind folks as long as there is still snow on the ground (and a few months remaining in winter) that our drivers need a clear driveway so that we can deliver propane. Also it is greatly appreciated if you can clear the tops of tanks and shovel a pathway so that our delivery staff can make it safely from the truck to your tank and back.
It has been a very exciting year here at Styer Propane! We must admit that we are pleased that it was not as exciting as a few winters ago with the relentless ice and snow. That particular excitement is not one we would wish to see again anytime soon. We feel very blessed to have the continued support and trust of our customers and business partners in the community and beyond. We strive everyday to deliver a high level of service to which we are proud to lend our name.
Speaking of that high level of service, we would be remiss in not recognizing the tireless efforts of our staff. Our office folks, drivers, techs and sales staff are some of the finest professionals in the industry anywhere and we cannot say enough about their continued dedication and grace. It is due to their hard work that we are able to offer folks all over the Delaware Valley such great service year after year. Thank you folks! It has been our pleasure to work alongside you this past year and we are looking forward to doing so again in 2016!
Happy New Year to everyone out there! We can’t wait to see you next year!
