Your safety
Millions of home owners and business owners use propane to fuel their homes and businesses because the advantages of propane are many, and because it is an environmentally friendly choice. Propane burns cleaner, works harder and operates smarter. In Nantucket, propane is not only the best choice, it’s our only choice – long ago, our founding fathers mandated propane because it helps reduce greenhouse emissions, saves energy and protects the environment, especially our fragile ecosystem on Nantucket.
Propane is clean burning, non-toxic, reliable, a good value, and most of all, safe. Propane has built-in safety properties along with stringent safety regulations. We know these regulations well through years of experience, and we know not only how to keep you and your family safe, but also how to expertly troubleshoot to avoid problems before they happen.
We are leaders in the propane industry, active in legislation and education through organizations like the Propane Education & Research Council. We make it our business to keep you safe and informed by keeping up on the latest news, research and safety information.

Q. Is propane safe?
Propane is a safe fuel to use in your home and business. Propane has a narrow range of flammability and cannot be ingested like gasoline or alcohol fuels because it is released as a vapor from a pressurized container.

Q. Is propane dangerous to the environment?
No. Propane is an approved, clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane is one of the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. Tests conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency show that propane-fueled vehicles produce 30 percent to 90 percent less carbon monoxide and about 50 percent fewer toxins and other smog-producing emissions than gasoline engines. Propane also is nontoxic, so it’s not harmful to soil or water.
Q. Why is experience important when it comes to propane?
Propane is a trusted and reliable energy source that is used by millions of Americans each day. It fulfills energy needs by burning cleanly and efficiently, giving consumers more value for their energy dollar. People use propane in and around their homes for furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, outdoor grills, fireplaces, and appliances; on farms for uses such as pest control, crop drying, and irrigation pumps; for industrial uses such as forklifts and fleet vehicles; and in millions of commercial establishments, including restaurants and hotels that depend on propane for heating, cooking, and other uses.
It is important that you choose a propane supplier that has the industry experience and knowledge to deliver you safe and reliable propane for all of your needs. When it comes to industry experience, Yates Gas is the right choice.
