PepUp creates propane safety resource, urges family education
In collaboration with the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), PepUp, a Maryland-based propane and fuel delivery company serving homes, farms and businesses across the Delmarva Peninsula, created a propane safety resource page at pepupinc.com/propane-safety. The page details emergency procedures and how to use propane safely, and shares PERC consumer education resources.
“Our team wants every customer to feel confident with propane,” says Jeff Dean, PepUp’s vice president of safety and compliance. “Know the smell of gas. Know how to shut off your tank. Keep our number close. Call us anytime you have a question about your system.”
Dean explains that PepUp technicians give every new customer a PERC safety brochure and walk them through how their propane system operates when starting service. He encourages residents to talk with family members about how their propane delivery system works, how to use propane appliances safely and how to respond in case of a propane leak.
Dean urges customers who have questions about safety or concerns about their home’s system to call PepUp right away and speak to an energy specialist. The main phone number is answered 24 hours a day. Dean asks that PepUp customers keep that number in a prominent location and save it in their phone’s contacts for fast access to PepUp’s team of propane professionals.
To give residents another opportunity to connect with the PepUp team and learn more about propane safety and preparedness, PepUp hosted its annual open house event at the company’s Federalsburg, Maryland, headquarters in September.
All local residents were invited to learn more about PepUp, enjoy complimentary food and discounted grill tank exchanges, enter to win 100 gallons of propane and sign up to donate blood as part of PepUp’s commitment to giving back to the Delmarva community.
